Jubilee party officials have flown to Beijing, China for an education forum. The over 100 officials are set to learn how that country’s only political party has upheld a hold on its people since 1949.

That party – the Communist Party of China – is the world’s second largest party, with a membership of 88 million-plus as of this year.

The first group of the Kenyan officials from the 12 parties that doubled up last month to form JP left yesterday for Beijing by night and the rest will depart in batches throughout the week.
The team will be in China for about a month.

Once the first team returns in three weeks’ time, the second group will then travel to the Asian country for what they have been told is “training on how to run and manage a party for 100 years without collapsing”.

‘I can confirm they are travelling,’ said Oloo. On Thursday, the JP officials were hosted to a briefing at the Chinese Embassy in Nairobi.

The Communist Party of China is the founding and the ruling political party of the People’s Republic of China.

Speaking when he paid a courtesy call on President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi, in July, Guo Jinglong, a party official, said the CPC and Jubilee share common principles of mutual equality and non-interference.

Guo is a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee.
