Former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday chaired the Jubilee Party National Delegates Conference (NDC) at the Jockey Club, Ngong Racecourse, where he was warmly received by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. The two exchanged pleasantries before greeting other senior party officials and delegates.
Also present to welcome the former Head of State were Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni and other party leaders, as delegates dressed in the party’s signature red filled the venue.
In his address, Kenyatta reflected on his political journey and the challenges facing Jubilee after years of internal wrangles.
He maintained that his message during the last general election — dismissed at the time — has since been validated by the country’s current realities.
“Some of the truths we spoke of yesterday have become the realities of today,” Kenyatta told delegates.
The former president criticized what he termed as the rollback of key social programmes launched under his administration, citing the maternal health initiative Linda Mama.
He argued that such schemes had been replaced by “untested” and “unproven” policies that risk undermining gains made in healthcare and social welfare.
