Jubilee administration with the help of county commissioners and other national administration officers plans to aggressively campaign for Jubilee.

Jubilee in an elaborate plan officially described as a government performance and coordination review, has tasked county commissioners and other national administration officers to collect views on its three years in office, as well as help in planning its reelection in 2017.

Those in the know, however say the whole exercise is just a disguise and the review exercise is part of Jubilee's campaign strategy.

The civil servants; county commissioners, their deputies, assistant county commissioners, chiefs and assistant chiefs are gathering data to help the government measure perception of its successes and identify problems it can quickly address countrywide.

"We are not leaving anything to chance. There are reports of growing apathy among Jubilee supporters and we must uproot this before the elections," a senior Jubilee government official told the Star in confidence.

"In addition, we need to know what the people want to hear. A reelection is very different and we cannot run it the same way we did in the last election." The government official said.

This is clearly against electoral laws which bars civil servants from engaging in politics, doing so gives Jubilee government undue advantage and influence against CORD or any other party vying against the incumbent government.

Section 12(1) (c) and (d) of the Political Parties Act stipulates, A public officer shall not (a) be eligible to be a founding member of a political party; (b) be eligible to hold office in a political party; (c) engage in political activity that may compromise or be seen to compromise the political neutrality of that person’s office; or (d) publicly indicate support for or candidate in an election.

This is not the first time Jubilee government is having ‘clandestine relationship’ with civil servants.

Water Cabinet Secretary, Eugene Wamalwa has for instance repeatedly been engaging in active politics, despite the Constitution clearly stipulating otherwise.

Civil servants started crisscrossing the country in early November and will present their findings in early December to President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto.

The project is run from the Office of the President in Harambee House and coordinated by county commissioners under the Interior ministry.
