Jeremiah Kioni, the party's secretary general, says Jubilee is still an opposition party. His comments came after some Jubilee members got government jobs.
President William Ruto met with former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Then, Mr. Ruto picked some of Mr. Kenyatta's allies for his Cabinet, which made people wonder if Jubilee was changing sides.
"Jubilee, we are in opposition," Mr. Kioni said on Monday. He said the party is doing what Mr. Kenyatta told Mr. Ruto to do. That is to make the economy better.
Raila Odinga, who used to be Kenya's prime minister, also discussed the Ruto-Kenyatta meeting. He said the two leaders just greeted each other, which was not a sign that they would work together.
Mr. Odinga said Mr. Ruto wants people from different parties in his government. That is why he chose some from Jubilee and Mr. Odinga's ODM party. But that does not mean there was a deal between Mr. Ruto and Mr. Kenyatta.
If there had been a deal, it would be in writing, Mr. Odinga said. Mr. Ruto and Mr. Kenyatta would tell everyone about it and say what they agreed on.
Mr. Ruto and Mr. Kenyatta met at Mr. Kenyatta's home in Gatundu. They had not gotten along well for a long time. Mr. Ruto wants support from Mr. Kenyatta's part of the country. He said he met with Mr. Kenyatta to find ways to work together in the future.
