This came days after Wamae dismissed his boss George Wajackoyah’s disciplinary summon.
Hours after Wajackoyah summoned Wamae and set her hearing for Friday, August 26, she issued a public response where she termed the summon as petty.
She also told off her boss over claims that she offered her accommodation and a car during campaigns ahead of the just-concluded general election.
Wamae distanced herself from the party and asked Wajackoyah to carry on with the party affairs alone.
