The Jubilee Parliamentary Caucus has announced plans to revamp the party in efforts to give it a fresh lease of life.
In a statement on Thursday, the parliamentary group said it has listened to calls from members of the party and will hold a National Delegates Convention later this month, where they will deliberate on the process.
"In the same breath we are happy to announce that Jubilee has cleaned house at local and national level and shaken off most of the bad elements who have been undermining the party, including, unfortunately, none other than the Deputy Party leader William Ruto," the statement posted on the party's official twitter said.
"During this clean-up we have borrowed from Matthew 5:30 which says: “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you...” As Kenyans will agree, if you have one hand that is gangrenous with rancid infection of corruption and malice you really have no choice but to amputate it."
The party said more details on the revamp process will be unveiled during the NDC.
The parliamentary group said it will do everything to protect the legacy they have created over the past 10 years.
"As a party we will swallow any bitter pill if that is the only guarantee for a better, healthier and more robust party."
The party also called out Ruto over his remarks against the party on Wednesday, saying that Jubilee is dead and that no amount of effort can revive the outfit.
"The Jubilee Deputy Party Leader and his small team of rebellious allies have officially said that they have left the Jubilee Party, for UDA. We therefore cannot understand the anger and bitterness we see in them when they hear that Jubilee is revamping, in preparation for the 2022 elections," Jubilee said.
Ruto who was in Murang’a and Kiambu counties where he launched various development projects and engaged the public said it was time those who ruined the party apologised to its more than eight million members.
He added that those lecturing him about Jubilee should stop wasting their time.
“When history is written, the wrecking of the ruling party and its auction to the Opposition will take a defining chapter,” Ruto said.
