"We will also be looking for well-wishers to help us in funding our activities across the region and we have no belief from anybody else other than from ourselves."

Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni now says the former ruling party will be reaching out to well-wishers for donations to fund its activities.

Addressing the media at the Jubilee headquarters on Tuesday, September 26, Kioni said the funds will be used in the Mt Kenya region.

“I do not know why every time we meet and talk you want to bring in the former president…. we will move on. By the way, we will also be looking for well-wishers to help us in funding our activities across the region and we have no belief from anybody else other than from ourselves,” said Kioni.

The former Ndaragwa MP at the same time dismissed speculations that Mt Kenya leaders are planning to dump Azimio for their new Kamwene Forum.

"Azimio is intact, our parties are also intact, we are not telling people to decamp from their parties but we have a forum to articulate issues of Mount Kenya region,” Kioni stated.

The Jubilee secretary general further said he made a proposal during the bipartisan talks to limit how much the government can tax citizens but the proposal was dismissed.

“Hii mambo ya Taxation we gave our proposal at Bomas of Kenya that we need a limit as to how much someone can be taxed in Kenya, we we gave the proposal we were told it is a pedestrian way of thinking. In the coming days, we will know who is the pedestrian because Kenya belongs to the people,” he added.
