Nominated Member of Parliament Sabina Chege has finally spoken out following the approval of Azimio's plan to replace her as the Minority Deputy Whip by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, with Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje.
On Wednesday, October 25, in a statement posted on her Facebook account, Sabina Chege, who holds the position of Jubilee Parliamentary Party Chief Whip, cited the Bible, emphasizing that she sees her elevation as a divine blessing
“Psalms 121. He who watches over Maitu Sabina Chege does not slumber nor sleep… what an elevation from God… From Deputy Minority Whip of some coalition, to Chief Whip of Jubilee Parliamentary Party! To God be the Glory,” she stated.
EALA MP Kanini Kega congratulated Chege for the new role adding that Jubilee’s ‘abusive’ marriage with Azimio has been dissolved.
“Congratulations Hon Sabina Chege CBS, you are now the substantive Jubilee Party whip in Parliament. Azimio, the abusive marriage is dissolved,” he stated.

Speaker Wetang’ula okayed the removal of Chege from the deputy minority position saying there was nothing barring the decision by the minority side to replace her with Mwenje.
“There currently exists no bar against the decision made by the minority party to replace its deputy whip. Standing Order 20 A5 requires the speaker to convey a decision to replace a whip to the house, in this regard the Honorable Mark Mwenje the MP forthwith replaces Sabina Chege MP as deputy whip of the Minority party,” said Wetang’ula.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged Jubilee as a parliamentary party and designated Chege as its temporary parliamentary whip.
