Jubilee women legislators accuse their party’s Secretary-General of selectively issuing letters to women nominated Senators who alleged to have snubbed a Parliamentary Group Meeting called at the State House.

They added that the SG Raphael Tuju made it deliberately so that the President can question their moves.
