Matiangi Affirms Jubilee as the Preferred Party for the 2027 Presidential Campaign


Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi has formally announced his intention to run for the presidency on a Jubilee Party platform, marking a new chapter in the party's efforts to revitalize itself after years of internal strife.

  Matiangi made this declaration during a consultative meeting with youth leaders in Nakuru County on Friday, where he encouraged residents to register early for the elections, emphasizing the significance of widespread participation. "Hearing their ideas and aspirations reinforced my conviction that we can transcend the current failures and forge a better future," he stated. "With their bravery and vision, we will restore hope, renew our unity, and create the future that our youth deserve." His announcement follows closely after his attendance at Jubilee's Special National Delegates Convention (NDC) held at the Ngong Racecourse, which was chaired by former President Uhuru Kenyatta. The convention, occurring after extended internal disputes, was perceived as a pivotal moment for Jubilee's political strategy in anticipation of the 2027 General Election. ‘Revitalization’ Jubilee Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni characterized the convention as a moment of revitalization, highlighting that Matiangi's proactive involvement with party members is part of a larger repositioning effort. "This assembly is not merely preparatory; it is a reaffirmation of our dedication to unity, revitalization, and a politics driven by purpose. The narrative of Jubilee is still unfolding, and together we advance," he remarked. Matiangi's candidacy injects energy into an already competitive opposition landscape that features former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Eugene Wamalwa (DAP-K), Martha Karua (Liberation People’s Party), and former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper). Former Chief Justice David Maraga is also contesting under the United Green Movement (UGM) banner.

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...

A report from the Auditor General for the period ending June 30, 2024, has issued serious recommendations regarding the management led by Principal Jane Mureithi, who took charge on May 23, 2022.

Under these circumstances, the school may struggle to fulfill its short-term financial obligations as they become due. The statement of assets and liabilities indicates an accounts...
