Kenya, deserves second term, Waiguru says"},"content":{"rendered":"

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru says Mt. Kenya\u2019s best interests are protected in President William Ruto\u2019s administration and therefore the region should not be swayed into opposition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waiguru said the opposition has nothing to offer to the region, warning people from the region not to gamble with their votes.<\/p>\n

She said the mountain had the biggest representation in terms of number of Cabinet Secretaries and Permanent Secretaries in the Kenya Kwanza administration and hence the need to support the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy to remove a sitting President in power and I fear this region could plunge itself in political cold if we are not careful,\u201d Waiguru said.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Mathioya Constituency where she was the chief guest during a Women\u2019s empowerment programme, the second term Governor said that the region would not get any meaningful share if opposition was to form government since their arrangement has not given it any presidency slot.<\/p>\n

She said Mt. Kenya\u2019s interests are secure with that President Ruto adding that he had returned the Deputy President slot to the region after the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua.<\/p>\n

Waiguru said like his predecessors, President Ruto deserves a second term in office since he had delivered on most of his development promises.<\/p>\n

The Governor said that in less than five years, Ruto has completed all projects that had stalled and implemented new ones across all social \u2013 economic sectors in the Country.<\/p>\n

In Transport and infrastructure development, the Governor said that President Ruto\u2019s administration had made lot of progress, citing completion of stalled roads and commencement of construction of key roads like the 233-kilometre Rironi\u2013Mau Summit Road project.<\/p>\n

In Agriculture, Waiguru said ongoing coffee sector revitalization through expansion of marketing channels are bearing fruits with increased farmer\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n

On Politics, she reiterated that the Mountain region must remain on the decision making table. \u201cThe people of the Mountain formed this Government and therefore we cannot leave it and start over again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In the event, thousands of residents received foodstuffs donations for Easter celebrations, withn110 women groups getting Sh. 50,000 cash each.<\/p>\n

Area leaders led by Mathioya MP Edwin Mugo endorsed Waiguru for the DP position in the next General election.<\/p>\n

He said that the Governor\u2019s development record has proven that she was ripe for any national position.<\/p>\n

Nominated Senator Veronica Maina said that time had come for a woman leader to sit on the national decision making table.<\/p>\n

MP Kirinyaga Central Gachoki Gitari and County Assembly Speaker Murimi Muteti echoed sentiments and urged the President to pick Governor Waiguru as her 2027 elections running mate position.<\/p>\n
