Controversy continues to dog the Nairobi list presented by Jubilee Party of its proposed members for nomination to Parliament and the county assembly. A city-based cleric has dismissed the list, saying deserving party members were left out. There have been allegations that some party officials rewarded their friends, relatives or cronies, and ignored dedicated members. Bishop John Nduati yesterday said the selection process was hijacked. The list was submitted to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. Nduati, bishop of God’s Power Church and Ministry, said, “The list which Jubilee Party officials in Nairobi submitted to the IEBC is made up of people who were not active members of this party. We are surprised that loyal members, who have invested resources and time in this party, were ignored. This is an injustice of the highest order to some of us.” He, however, urged party members to stand with President Uhuru kenyatta and party candidates. Nduati dismissed claims that Mike Sonko, the Nairobi JP governor candidate, is not the right choice for the job. “Our Nairobi governor-to-be is a very intelligent man with good education from recognised institutions of higher learning. For those who think he is a school dropout, think again,” he said.
