- The president said he will not tolerate premature 2022 politics anymore going forward
- He warned those politicking not to take his silence for weakness or think he is threatened in any way by them
- Uhuru has on numerous occasions urged leaders to hold their horses on politics so they can focus on development
- That, however, has not been the case as the politicians continued to traverse the country to sell their 2022 political agenda
President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a stern warning to Jubilee leaders who have repeatedly defied his directive on premature 2022 politics at the expense of development and service delivery to the people.
A visibly enraged Uhuru warned any leader allied to the ruling party who will not heed the calls to shelve premature campaigns will face the music.

The president who was speaking during the 2019 Akorino annual conference at Kasarani Stadium, Nairobi, on Sunday, June 16, termed as thugs the ever politicking Jubilee leaders and warned them not to take his silence for weakness.
“When they see me remain silent, they should not think it's because I fee threatened. I will find them wherever they are...If you are making headlines, don’t think it bothers me...
I even stopped reading newspapers and using Facebook because of these rubbish,” the head of state who was accompanied by his deputy William Ruto lashed out in his Kikuyu dialect.

Uhuru also reminded the stubborn politicians that just he was not elected president because they looked for votes on his behalf and therefore he would not tolerate their defiance.
“These thugs that we elected are busy politicking. They should not think I am their boy, they will not stop me from constructing roads.
They didn’t look for votes on my behalf, I went looking for my votes. These rubbish should stop bothering me,” he said moments before he apologised to the faithfuls present for the outburst .
