The Jubilee Youth League has defended UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar and challenged Mount Kenya MPs to stop blaming him for the growing tensions in the ruling coalition and instead confront President William Ruto directly.

Speaking during a press briefing at the Jubilee Party headquarters, Jubilee Deputy Secretary General Zack Kinuthia accused UDA leaders of using Hassan Omar as a scapegoat while avoiding the real source of power in the party.

“We have seen MPs from Mount Kenya threatening Hassan Omar and threatening to walk away if Hassan does not resign,” said Kinuthia.
