Jubilee-nominated Member of Parliament (MP) Sabina Chege is lamenting that her party leader President Uhuru Kenyatta ‘has not been in touch’ ever since he retired in September 2022.
Speaking during an interview on Inooro TV on Sunday, February 19, 2023, Chege lamented that Jubilee members have been seeking Uhuru countless times to offer them guidance in vain.
She further criticised Uhuru’s speeches in Luanda, Vihiga county and Kisumu where he declared that Raila Odinga was his party leader.
“As we waited for his leadership, we saw him aboard a truck in Kisumu declaring that his party leader was ODM’s Raila Odinga,” Sabina Chege lamented.
The Jubilee-nominated MP wondered whether the party had since been pawned to ODM.
Furthermore, Chege said the Jubilee members are yet to get orders from Uhuru himself to join Azimio’s anti-government rallies that have been taking place across the country.
“We have only been seeing our former Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni attending alone.”
Chege noted that Jubilee leaders have been interpreting Kioni to be scheming to form his own political party or movement without any consultations with the party structures.
The Jubilee-nominated MP claimed that Raila is using the anti-government rallies to seek a handshake that will benefit himself.
“He has a way of seeking handshakes after losing. He uses people to achieve those handshakes but abandons them after he benefits. I have accepted we lost but I will not now go his route of using people to gain for himself alone,” she said.
Chege further told Uhuru that most of his allies in Mt Kenya lost their seats because they stuck by him and the political decision he made to support Raila’s candidacy.
The former Murang’a Woman Representative also claimed that Kenya Kwanza wanted to front her as their candidate in the Nairobi gubernatorial race.
