Former Nyeri town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has explained why former President Uhuru Kenyatta should cease being at the forefront in Jubilee party leadership.
In an interview with Spice FM on Wednesday, he said Uhuru should hold back as he no longer has a vision for the party.
"He needs to accept that he really does not have a vision for the party beyond where we are. Because, remember a party must be run by someone who has a vision," he said.
Wambugu was reminiscent that when Uhuru had a vision, Jubilee held power for more than 10 years.
He said unless Uhuru was running for office, then following him would be of benefit to members but as things stand now that is not the case.
"So you want to be President and you have a party that is the vehicle through which you will negotiate, campaign, popularise your policies to go and lead government. Now as Jubilee, being run by the former President, we are being run to where?" he asked.
He said Uhuru's work in the party is done as he can never be president again.
Wambugu said in as much as they respect Uhuru and wish that he stays, he must accept that he can't run a party again.
He said even in other countries, once a president retires, he becomes part of the honorary team of advisers to the party.
"But you can't run the party. Not unless you are planning to have another run for the Presidency," he said.
This comes as acting Jubilee secretary general Kanini Kega suspended a party meeting called for by the former President.
Uhuru had called for a Jubilee party National Delegates Conference set for May 22.
