EALA MP Simon Mbugua has warned Opposition Chief Raila Odinga that he is being used by the Jubilee Party and will be dumped.
The MP further stated that Odinga should tread carefully as his pact with President Uhuru Kenyatta might mark the end of him politically.
"I want to tell Raila. Raila, don’t be deceived. You are being boxed, once you pass the referendum, you’ll be dropped,” he warned.

His sentiments come amidst several theories surrounding Odinga's handshake with President Kenyatta.
Some leaders allied to the Head of State have claimed that the NASA leader is lining up for a place in government while others have questioned his motive ahead of the 2022 election.
While Odinga and Kenyatta have maintained that the handshake was firmly for purposes of uniting the nation, most politicians have lingering doubts.
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary-general Edwin Sifuna, however, dismissed claims that his party intends to secretly destroy Jubilee Party.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, Sifuna stated that the fears expressed by leaders from Jubilee are baseless and push a 'wrong notion.'
“When we engage in activities as a party, it’s not our intention to kill (politically) any other person, group or party.
"I believe that these parties are free to engage in party activities, they are free to go to any corner of the country like we are doing in ODM.
"Our vibrancy is only for uplifting ourselves. That is a wrong notion that should be corrected,” remarked Sifuna.
He further added that they were in support of all activities spearheaded by the Head of State and Odinga but would still condemn corrupt activities in government.
