The deputy presidential aspirant for Roots party Justina Wamae has responded to the party after being summoned to a disciplinary hearing for misrepresenting the party during the recent elections.
Justina was summoned to appear at the party headquarters on Friday, August 26 to respond to accusations of making contradictory and malicious statements about the party in both mainstream media and social media.
However, Wamae quickly responded on social media, stating that she will not be attending the summons and that she “will soldier on.”
Moreover, Wamae denied allegations made in statement written by Roots Party legal director Washika Wachira, that she was given accommodation and an official party vehicle during the campaign.
“I will not respond to pettiness. But on the non-existent accommodation and car you ‘imagined’ you ‘assisted’ me with you can withdraw in your DREAMS. It is your party do what you deem fit, I will soldier on,” she tweeted.

According to Wachira’s statement Justina’s violation of the Roots Party’s manifesto and constitution caused public ridicule and disrepute to the party.
