Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has said that he had to switch off his phones to escape police radar amid recent arrests of leaders affiliated with Azimio la Umoja.
Speaking in an interview with Spice FM today, Kioni said that random arrests and abductions of people were not proper under the Uhuru regime and is also wrong under the present regime.
Further, he said he visited Ndaragwa anonymously on Sunday to avoid being tracked by police.
“My phones were off… we have a recent phenomenon in our roads… they are called Subarus. I haven’t used these phones since Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I started using these things on Sunday when I said mbaya ni mbaya.”
Further, he claimed that the government uses its resources to track people via mobile phones and to some extent, frame them.

“Today we have people who actually say no to this constitution, at least during that time (Jubilee regime) we never had somebody planting bhang; we never saw vehicles carrying Sudanese number plates being used to chase you down. But am not saying it was right then, it wasn’t even then, it is not right now, this is not the country we want to be in,” he said.
Kioni blamed the National Assembly for failing to put the executive in check.
“ It is parliament that should have been able to come strong and tell the executive to hold it, that is beyond, we are not going to pass this budget; we are going to file a motion of impeachment. The tools for checking an excessive Executive exist in Parliament. Parliament abandoned us from day one,” he added.
Kioni asserts that indications of a dictatorship include the detention of leaders and their subsequent re-detention inside the court walls.
Kioni went on to list the promises the Kenya Kwanza dictatorship made to the country's citizens, arguing that the regime ought to be held accountable and made to keep its word.
He declared that protests would continue until the government delivered on its promises to cut living expenses and offer inexpensive Unga.
