Uhuru was
received by his Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, who exchanged a warm
handshake with him before the two greeted other officials and delegates.
Also
present to welcome the former head of state were Jubilee Secretary General
Jeremiah Kioni and senior party leaders.
Delegates dressed in the party’s signature red, with Uhuru expected to give direction on Jubilee’s future after years of internal wrangles.
Speaking during the National Delegates Convention (NDC)on Friday, Uhuru said his message during the last general election was ignored and dismissed, but has since been validated by current realities.
“Some of the truths we spoke of yesterday have become the realities of today,” he said.
Kenyatta pointed to the rollback of several social programmes initiated under his administration, including the maternal health scheme Linda Mama, which he said has been replaced by “untested” and “unproven” policies.
