Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced a new venue for the Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference. 

In a notice on Saturday, Uhuru said the new venue for the delegates' conference will be at Ngong Race Course in Nairobi. 

"Notice is hereby given that the venue of the Jubilee NDC has been moved to Ngong Race Course, Nairobi. All other details remain as per the notice published on April 29," Uhuru said in a new notice. 

The delegates' conference was slated for May 22. 

Uhuru had called for the conference following endless wrangles in the Jubilee party. 

Jubilee had planned to hold the conference at the Bomas of Kenya, the Kasarani Indoor Auditorium and the ASK Show Ground Hall.

But access to all these venues was denied to the party, with the management saying there were ongoing renovations. 

Jubilee party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni had termed the alleged attempts to deny them the avenue for the NDC as an expensive experiment on multiparty democracy. 

Kioni on Thursday claimed the Kenya Kwanza was attempting to interfere with the Jubilee party. 

"The Kenya Kwanza regime wants to take away this jealousy-protected right. The Jubilee Party NDC scheduled for May 22 remains on course," he said. 

Kioni said no amount of intimidation, coercion and frustration will derail their course to safeguard the Party.

He said they are in touch with the party delegates and have secured alternative venues for the NDC.
