The exodus was initiated by Sirisia Member of Parliament John Waluke who was received into the Jubilee party by the party’s Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni at the party’s headquarters in Nairobi on Friday.

Kioni confirmed Waluke had paid his nomination fees and would be defending his Sirisia Parliamentary set in a Jubilee ticket.
