Meet Woman Behind President Kenyatta’s Re-election
A Kenyan woman was the overall coordinator of President Kenyatta’s re-election campaigns, leaked e-mails have revealed.
The e-mails reportedly show that Nancy Gitau, who currently works as State House political advisor, organized meetings, commissioned research studies and other behind the scenes tasks to ensure Kenyatta recaptured his seat in the 2017 presidential election, Daily Nation reports.
Every member of President Kenyatta’s campaign team reported to Ms. Gitau, the e-mails show according to Daily Nation.
The publication said that Ms. Gitau was copied on every e-mail communication alongside President Uhuru's Personal Assistant Jomo Gecaga.
She was first appointed as Senior Presidential Advisor by retired President Mwai Kibaki and retained the position after Kenyatta assumed office in 2013.
Ms. Gitau was reportedly the person behind the successful merger of Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) and Deputy President William Ruto’s United Republican Party (URP) to form Jubilee Alliance ahead of 2013 elections.
Ms. Gitau worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for 17 years, serving in various capacities including as the leader for governance and democracy sector, before joining Kibaki’s government in 2007.
She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a Masters from the University of Nairobi (UON).

Good for you Miss Gitau…

Good for you Miss Gitau though Cambridge Analytical also had a BIG hand in this as some of their agents were writing speeches for the president while others were "working" the data. The locals meanwhile were eliminating their very own who they perceived as a threat. And by the way anyone who thinks there is nothing wrong with a foreigner writing a president's speech must be tone deaf on matters involving national security.

Haiya so now we're celebrating election fixers and riggers. Maajabu! It would've been worthwhile if the people clamoring to be in government were not these incompetent thieves running down the economy.
