Jubilee party has rejected NYS II scandal suspect Anne Ngirita after announcing her entry into the party.
Speaking on Tuesday, February 15, Ngirita announced plans to contest for the Nakuru county Woman Rep seat under a Jubilee ticket.
"I was in UDA but I ditched UDA. I left the outfit because our party leader urged us to return home. I also discovered that I was lost because of peer pressure. I want to help youths and fellow women because I understand their needs," she said.
However, the party has since disputed Ngirita's entry into the party demanding clearance from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

The Ngirita family was shot in the limelight during the NYS II scandal that made headlines for months.
Assets Recovery Authority through State Counsel Peter Ngumi stated that Ngirita alongside three other family members colluded with top NYS officials to steal KSh 465 million.
Ngumi said the money was deposited in their accounts and hurriedly transferred to proxies and that they bought properties to conceal the theft.
Other family members linked to the scandal are Phylis Njeri Ngirita, Lucy Wambui Ngirita and Jeremiah Gichina Ngirita.
