President Uhuru Kenyatta has denied claims that he chased some of his former allies from the government.
Speaking on Sunday evening, the head of State said he never sacked anyone from government.
"Even those that said the handshake changed things in the government. Is there anyone I fired from their job? I never chased anyone out of government,"Uhuru said.
Deputy President William Ruto and his allies have over time claimed that the DP was pushed out of the government.
The DP claimed his roles as Uhuru's principal assistant were instead handed over to Interior CS Fred Matiang'i who was appointed the chairman and coordinator of government development programmes and projects.
Ruto has also claimed on numerous occasions that the March 9, 2018 handshake derailed the Jubilee administration's development projects in Uhuru's second term.
Early this year, Ruto was officially kicked out as Jubilee Party's deputy leader.
The decision was ratified during the party's National Delegates Convention (NDC) which split the post into four.
The new officials who took over the post include Jimmy Angwenyi who serves as Deputy party leader (Strategy), Kinoti Gatobu (Operations), Naomi Shaban (Outreach), Peter Mositet (Programmes).
The DP decamped to United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party after the fallout that intensified after the president's decision to endorse Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
