Waiguru Promises Martha Karua a 'Village Elder' Job if She Clinches Kirinyaga Governor Seat

Former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru has promised her rival in the Kirinyaga gubernatorial seat Martha Karua a job when she clinches the county’s top seat.

Speaking at St Michaels Primary School shortly after she was cleared by the IEBC to contest in the August elections, Waiguru said that show will make Karua a ‘village elder’ due to her age.

Waiguru said the Narc Kenya leader "is old and should have run for higher office or quit politics altogether,’ adding that she will give her a chance to show her leadership skills as an elder.

Waiguru is battling allegations of corruption with the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee recommending that she be barred from holding any public office  or contesting for Kirinyaga seat if found responsible of the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal in which billions were lost through corruption.

Martha ni mzee kweli, na wewe ni mwizi.... better old and wise.... but since you use 'youth' for God knows what, kiti utapata... na 'kiti' utatumia vilivyo. If only Kenyans did not get deceived by stolen riches/money

I hope the "old" Karua beats her squarely so she may learn that arrogance is a vice. Waiguru may have evaded justice after looting in the NYC scandal but that does not give her a licence disrespect others. Wouldn't be better for Kirinyaga people to have an "old" but clean governor like Martha Karua than be led by a "young" and corrupt arrogant individual?

Waiguru pride comes before a fall. If Raila wins you are Kamiti material. I'm not baba supporter but there are 2 choices and it can go any way. I was not for Trump but he won.

Kenya is doomed. How could the IEBC clear a thief to run for any public elective office after what she did at the NYS? Other people like Raila, Sonko, Chirchir Arap Ruto, Uhuru, and Wetangula shouldn't have been cleared to run especially with their closets unable to open because of thousands of skeletons in there!

Where do we go to find justice when the NASA, Jubilee, and the IEBC leaders are morally bankrupt and corrupt?
