Speaking on Friday during a meeting with Jubilee grassroots leaders at Thika Greens, Uhuru said he would not tolerate politics of insults, personal attacks, or smear campaigns, emphasizing that discipline and respect must define the party’s culture.
“I will not allow members to insult one another,” Uhuru said in Kikuyu. “As long as I’m leading this party, anyone engaging in such behaviour will be expelled — out means out! If you want to insult others, find another party.”
His tough stance was met with applause from party members who backed his efforts to restore order and dignity within the party.
Uhuru urged Jubilee officials and supporters to focus on policy-driven engagement rather than responding to critics with abuse, noting that such conduct undermines the party’s values and erodes public trust.
He particularly condemned social media spats where Jubilee supporters have been seen attacking leaders like Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua under the pretext of defending the party.
“Insults will not take you anywhere. It is respect that builds a person,” he said, addressing Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, and warning him against reacting to online provocations.
The former head of state called on party leaders to reconnect with citizens through constructive dialogue about Jubilee’s agenda, policies, and future direction.
He reminded them that Jubilee has always been a unified and respectable political movement and must uphold that legacy.
“We want leaders who are respected, leaders who can move this country forward,” Uhuru stated.
He concluded by urging members to embrace unity, discipline, and peaceful engagement as the foundation for rebuilding Jubilee’s strength and public trust.
The event in Murang’a County was also attended by Deputy Party Leader Fred Matiang’i.
