The Political Parties Tribunal has thrown out an application challenging the changes in Jubilee Party's National management Committee (NMC), saying it has no jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Mr Kositany and Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika had filed an application to the tribunal challenging the Gazette Notice of April 6 showing that the Registrar of Political Parties had effected changes to the party's NMC.

In a statement on Friday, Nominated Senator Waqo Naomi Jillo said she was unable to travel to Nairobi to attend the State House meeting because of "unavoidable circumstances that Jubilee Party is aware of".

On Friday, Mr Kang'ata said he would forward Ms Jillo's letter to the disciplinary committee "with my substantive comments".

In her statement, Ms Jillo wrote: "I am currently in Marsabit County assisting in the fight against Covid 19... In light of the recent political goings-on, I would like to state that my loyalty lies with our Head of State and Party Leader, His Excellency President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.
