Jubilee Party’s Executive Director James Waweru has taken over as Secretary-General while Raphael Tuju recuperates.
Through a Press Statement communicated on Monday, February 17, Waweru was confirmed to have taken over the party affairs and was in control assisted by other directors.
According to the Party’s communication Director Albert Memusi, Tuju has been immobilized so as to minimize the aggravation of the injuries incurred during the accident.
“Doctors managing Tuju have started the process of weaning him off sedation and so far all indications are that his injuries are healing well. He is conscious and fully in control of his limbs just as he was when he walked into the accident and emergency section of Kijabe hospital. The family through the party wishes to thank all those who have been praying, sending messages of goodwill or encouraging them in one way or another,” Memusi is quoted.
