Sabina Chege on Sunday stated that many of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies lost for sticking with him in Azimio.

Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has responded to Nominated MP Sabina Chege’s remarks that most Uhuru allies in Central lost their seats because of Azimio. 

In a statement via Twitter on Monday, February 20, Amisi told off the former Murangá Women Rep noting that a politician can be re-elected on development irrespective of political affiliations.

“It is false to claim MPs lost in Central because they belonged to Azimio. Am twice elected on an unpopular party within my region. Am the only ODM MP entire stretch from Belgut to Sirisia. You can be elected on development irrespective of party. Big lie,” said Amisi.
