Kathiani Member of Parliament Rober Mbui claims that action should be taken against Sabina Chege after meeting President William Ruto in State House alongside a team of Jubilee party MPs.
While speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Monday, February 13, Mbui stated that nominated MP Sabina Chege will be de-whipped from the position she holds in parliament.
The Kathiani MP claimed that Sabina Chege, who is currently the National Assembly Deputy Minority Whip, will no longer be effective in representing the minority.
“It’s a no-brainer. Sabina Chege is the current deputy whip in the Azimio la Umoja coalition. So, if she has gone to work with Kenya Kwanza how is she going to whip us?” he posed.
“Whipping in the house means that we want the position of our coalition to be supported. She says she is supporting the other side. It does not even need for us to de-whip her. She just needed to resign from that office. We will just confirm whoever will continue with that work.” Mbui added.
The MPs remarks comes after Sabina Chege and a section of Jubilee MPs had a meeting with President Ruto sparking tension within the party and the Azimio la Umoja coalition.
Moreover, the MPs committed to work with the president William Ruto-led administration in realizing the Kenya Kwanza agenda.

Likewise, Mbui opined that there is the possibility that some of the MPs ‘will return’ to Azimio la Umoja coalition, adding that development talks which were said to be the agenda of the meetings will not come to realization.
According to the legislator, Treasury declared that the country’s economy is in a strained status, as such there are no resources to finance key public expenditures.
He further dismissed the possibility of more Azimio coalition members meeting the Head of State, insisting that the members who have remained have fully pledged loyalty to the Raila Odinga-led coalition.
“We are about 120 now and we are still a hundred percent committed to the course. There are even some who have gone who might come back,” he said.
