Martha Karua Reacts to Calls of being Governor Kivutha Kibwana's 2022 Running Mate

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua has reacted to calls by a section of Kenyans online to be Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana's running mate during 2022 presidential contest.
Some online users say the two would form a formidable team given their firm stand on issues, proven track records and the fact that they have never been mentioned in any corruption scandals.
"If and when you (Kibwana) decide to run this country as the next president with Martha Karua as your able deputy, you are assured of my vote by 4 AM of the voting day," one online user, Peter Muiruri says.
He adds: "Kenyans will support your presidency bid overwhelmingly Governor. You lead as others watch!"
Responding to the calls, Karua has questioned why a woman has to be the deputy, although she says she respects Prof Kibwana.
"I have a lot of respect for Governor Kibwana and his leadership ability but kindly note that deputy is not a woman's first name," Karua says in a tweet.
"My dad and mum co-chair the family and to be honest women do more for the family without demanding any title," she adds.
Karua run for Presidency in 2013 and was seventh behind Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Peter Kenneth and Abduba Dida. She garnered slightly above 40,000 votes.

The two would make a great pair, but the way Kenyan politics is, their chances of winning are zero. That's unless Kivutha steals all the money from his Makieni county and dashes it out to churches between now and election time 2022.

A big NO to Karua. All career politicians MUST GO! I still remember the day when Martha Karua swore Kibaki in unconventionally and unethically. Let Kivutha choose his own people.

She not just part of the problem. She is a problem. If she were handed a post like Raila she would become a turncoat the same way Raila did.

So she was ok until she started opposing Uhuru? Total BS, nkt! Whose Uhuru? An incompetent, tail-between-the-legs seller of the country to Chinese, a mkifanya-hivi-tena-mtaona, a mnataka-nifanye-nini chicken! Ameshindwa na kazi kabsaa akwende. All these billions of dollars stolen under his watch and he still does nothing. Uhuru is a calamity and a liability to the country, period. And I wouldn't ever want Karua to tarnish Prof KK's bid for the presidency

Such tribal vomit has no place in today’s Kenya. If there was an illustration for incompetence in the dictionary it would be a picture of the boy in statehouse.

Their political persona is not big enough to counter their lack of accomplishments necessary for national limelight. When the country is not politically polarized, they find it hard to get political grip and mileage. They made their names during single party rule and through agitation for multiparty. Like leaders of movements, when there is nothing organized to rally against they get disorganized. After the continental drift of the handshake, the only movement we have is against corruption. And since corruption has no figure-head to focus on, I find the duo to be without momentum to appeal to the masses. For hustlers' and wanjiku's children, the political arena has really changed and its only those who adapt and learn how to navigate ambiguity that succeed. Of course for the sons and daughters of Kenyan dynasties nothing has changed, the game is the same, the rules the same, just waiting for the right time to wear the leadership jersey and enter the political contest kwa vifijo, vishindo na nderemo.
Good analysis.
