Murang'a Woman Representative Sabina Chege on Wednesday evening, November 27, savagely responded to Jubilee digital strategist Dennis Itumbi, after he made a comment that did not settle well with her.
Itumbi was responding to Chege's revelation that women leaders had decided to end the division between them, during the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative report at the Bomas of Kenya.
The women leaders are divided into two factions; Team Embrace, a group allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga and Inua Mama, a group allied to Deputy President William Ruto.
"As of today, as women leaders in this country, we are killing the different women groups; Team Embrace and Inua Mama. Following the BBI report, women leaders in Kenya will be united," Chege had affirmed.
Taking to his Twitter page, Itumbi addressed Sabina, posting photos of various projects that Inua Mama had initiated, adding that the group had a social empowerment agenda.
"Dear Sabina Chege, Embrace, let us face it had a political agenda, if any. Inua Mama has a social empowerment agenda. Inua Mama, therefore, will not told [sic]. Here some pictures to remind you what Inua is," Itumbi stated.
The remark did not seem to impress the lawmaker, who in turn fiercely responded;
'Will answer you back when you become a woman. Enjoy your evening," Sabina remarked.
On Wednesday, November 27, the Inua Mama chairperson, Alice Wahome, also took to social media to contradict Sabina's sentiments, citing that Inua Mama was about changing the lives of women.
"So far so good. We are doing well (referring to the Bomas meeting). Point of correction and clarification: Inua mama is all about empowering women socially and economically.
"Not a tool for political advancements and therefore can’t be merged with other groups with different agenda other than that. However, ideas on how we can reach out to more women in mashinani are most welcome," the Kandara MP posted on Facebook.
Nominated Senator Falhada Iman also lashed out at Sabina Chege, warning her over making impulse decisions.
"I want to tell Sabina Chege that Team Embrace is already dead and you can’t kill something that is already dead. For Inua mama, we will continue Empowering women, youth and those living with disabilities. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Inua mama we are alive, and ready," she proclaimed, in a statement sent to Kenyans.co.ke.
