RAILA VISITS SABINA CHEGE AT NAIROBI HOSPITAL

Raila jetted back to the city after and extensive tour of the coast⁣
Azimio La Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga has visited Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege at the Nairobi Hospital, where she has been receiving treatment since February 16.⁣
⁣
The ODM party leader jetted back into the city on the evening of February 22, after an extensive tour of the Coastal region where he popularized his 2022 presidential bid.⁣
⁣
During the hospital visit, Mr Odinga was accompanied by MPs Kanini Kega (Kieni), Junet Mohamed (Suna East), Mishi Mboko (Likoni) and Gladys Wanga (Homa Bay County).⁣
⁣
“Wishing my friend and sister Hon. Sabina Wanjiru wa Chege a quick recovery #NiSiSi #GetWellSoon,” Gladys Wanga captioned shared photos of the visit.⁣

Sabina Chege’s IEBC hearing⁣
The Murang’a Woman Rep was expected to appear before an IEBC Committee on Tuesday, to answer to claims of election rigging she made during a recent political rally.⁣
⁣
Confirming the news, IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati added that Ms Chege has been at the hospital since February 16.⁣
⁣
“Counsel has produced a document addressed to whom it might concern. The letter indicates that Sabina Chege was admitted at the Nairobi Hospital from 16th February and is undergoing treatment and that she is unable to attend to any of her duties,” Chebukati stated.⁣
⁣
Through her lawyers, Senior Counsel James Orengo and Senior Counsel Otiende Amollo, Chege had – at her initial hearing – argued that she had not been furnished with a clear statement of the charges against her.⁣
⁣
“We have a problem with this statement of the breach. From the charge, it is a redacted version of what Sabina Chege said. There is no clear assertion. You are not telling us clearly what she is accused of saying,” SC Orengo stated.⁣
⁣
Sabina’s defense team further demanded a full statement of Murang’a Woman Rep’s utterances insisting that the accusations were based on heresy and that Sabina was not obliged to respond.⁣
