Fresh power games have erupted in the battle for control of President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party, threatening to sink the outfit ahead of the 2022 polls. Months after the ruling party launched a successful assault that vanquished Deputy President William Ruto's grip of the party, Jubilee is staring at another possible implosion. Although it is not clear who are targeted, the overhaul could claim some of the high-ranking party officials blamed for allegedly running roughshod on party affairs. The Jubilee party received millions of shillings annually from the Political Parties Fund, managed by the Registrar of Political parties. In the 2019/20 financial saw Jubilee get Sh564.2 million while in the current 2020/2021 financial year the party was allocated Sh515 million.
