Jubilee wants Murkomen, Kihika case to be thrown out

The Jubilee party has told the High Court that it has no jurisdiction to hear and determine a case filed by ousted Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen and Majority Whip Susan Kihika opposing their removal from the Jubilee Party Senate leadership last week.
In filed case documents, Jubilee said that the law requires that the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator and his Nakuru counterpart exhaust internal political party dispute resolution mechanisms established under the Political Parties Act.
According to Jubilee, with the dispute being between members of a party and the said political party, the Political Parties Tribunal (PPDT) has clear constitutional provisions as well as statutory jurisdiction to handle the case.
“Judicial proceedings will be instituted only as the last resort and even then, such proceedings would be lodged before the PPDT and not this honourable court,” said their lawyer Njoroge Regeru.
The duo had moved to court last week while seeking to suspend the decision that saw them ousted from the said positions.
