In a Facebook post on Sunday, Sabina Chege said that she only kneels before God.

She dismissed those interpreting the photo as her kneeling before the DP saying they are baseless and ill-driven. 

The picture, which appeared online, makes her appear as if she went down on her knees before she gave her contribution to the DP.

However, a clear look at the photo shows the lawmaker giving her contributions. 

"Standing and not kneeling.... I only kneel before God..... Thanks H.E Uhuru Kenyatta for your support to Maragua women. Your contribution was well received," Sabina Chege posted on Facebook.

The photo was taken when DP Ruto presided over a women empowerment drive in Maragua, Murang’a County. 

During the event, Ruto asked different stakeholders to support women in their areas of specialization.

"But we need to do more to make women seize the opportunities available to them without limitations; we must educate them, allow women to access and control productive resources, train and equip them to make transformative decisions in our country," he said in a tweet.

Ruto also said that the Jubilee government has been very supportive to women and other groups that need support.
