The controversy arose after a heated exchange between ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed over the alleged misuse of campaign funds.
Sifuna accused Junet of misusing money donated by Uhuru to support Raila’s campaign, while Junet claimed that Uhuru used his family and close associates to misappropriate the funds.
The party emphasized that Uhuru has never engaged in schemes to settle political scores or destabilize other parties.
“At no time has our Party Leader, or the Jubilee Party, engaged in any plot to destabilize, buy, or hijack any political party,” the statement said.
Jubilee insisted that the allegations against Uhuru are a desperate attempt to create a scapegoat for a government that has lost public trust.
The party highlighted that Uhuru openly supported Raila’s 2022 election campaign and that any sabotage came from within the ODM party.
Jubilee called on politicians to stop blaming Uhuru for betrayals that occurred inside Raila’s party, stating they will not allow their leader to be dragged into such disputes.
The party also warned that the attacks aim to fuel ethnic tensions and revive political divisions in the country.
Jubilee outlined plans to reclaim its political influence by recruiting members nationwide, engaging transparently with aspirants, and forming alliances with like-minded parties.
Junet alleged that campaign funds for agents were released by Uhuru to his brother Muhoho Kenyatta, who appointed Peter Mburu to oversee recruitment and payments.
He claimed that Mburu presented himself as an IT expert to prevent electoral manipulation, but no agents were recruited in Mt. Kenya or Luo Nyanza, Raila’s stronghold.
Junet added that Muhoho operated from a highly restricted office in Westlands, where campaign logistics and payments were coordinated without full access to Raila himself.
Sifuna countered Junet’s claims, accusing him of now portraying Uhuru’s funds as “dirty” despite benefiting from them during the campaign.
Jubilee’s firm response signals its commitment to protecting Uhuru’s reputation and ensuring that political attacks do not undermine national unity or the party’s future.
The party concluded that any attempts to drag Uhuru into internal ODM disputes will be resisted, as they seek to focus on Kenya’s political stability and development.
