Of Tuju and locking out leaders from party offices

Jubilee SG Raphael Tuju is no stranger to controversy of keeping politicians away from party offices. In 2004 after president Mwai Kiabki appointed him the Minister for Tourism, Tuju ordered KANU out of its party headquarters at the KICC. Then Uhuru Kenyatta was KANU party leader. 

Tuju personally walked to KICC and had door locks of Uhuru’s office changed in a move aimed at ensuring he does not access it

Even with a court order stopping the eviction, Uhuru could not serve Tuju because they were locked out of KICC with the presence of heavy security personnel. 

Deputy President William Ruto is currently the victim of Tuju's locks after the Jubilee SG issued a warning to the DP and his Tanga Tanga team not to transact their business at the Pangani based Jubilee headquarters. Ruto's team has however vowed to storm the offices on Monday 5th October 2020. The group said they will start operating from the headquarters. If the Tanga Tanga team make their threat a reality then it's likely that there's going to be a standoff with security personnel.
