Ignore the rumors – Kipchumba Murkomen sets record straight on confusion created by Jubilee Asili Centre

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has sought to clarify the confusion created by Jubilee Asili Centre that was unveiled on Thursday by Deputy President William Ruto.

In a tweet, Murkomen asked the public to ignore rumours purporting that DP Ruto had defected from Jubilee Party to start his own party under the tag “Jubilee Asili”.

The former Senate Majority leader explained that Jubilee Asili Centre is a meeting venue for members who have been denied access to the Jubilee Party Headquarters.
