Today if the President ‘coughs’ nobody would dare challenge him in such meetings. Few would also risk skipping them.
Mr Murathe, who is the Jubilee vice chairman, says Mr Keynan is now in charge of de-whiping truant members as well as relaying information from party bosses to members and vice versa.
On Wednesday, political heavyweights from Northern Kenya led by Garissa Senator and chairman of the Building Bridges Initiative Yusuf Haji thanked Mr Kenyatta for Mr Keynan’s post.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is banking on the newly created position of Secretary of the Jubilee Coalition to foster cohesion in the ruling party and eliminate dissenting voices ahead of the 2022 polls, his confidante David Murathe has said.
Eldas MP Adan Keynan, one of the longest-serving lawmakers, will now be the linkman between the party leadership and parliament, a role hived off from the Office of the Leader of Government Business (Majority Leader) to stem rebellion from forces loyal to Deputy President William Ruto.
