Martha Karua: I Still Want to Become Kenya’s President
NARC-Kenya leader Martha Karua says her dream of leading the country is still alive.
Speaking to Radio Citizen on Monday, Karua indicated that she plans to run for the presidency in the future but she is now focused on the Kirinyaga gubernatorial seat.
“I ran in 2013 and lost, but I still have unfinished business with the presidency, so God-willing one day I will serve in that capacity,” Karua said during the interview.
She unsuccessfully contested for the presidency in the 2013 elections and lost to Anne Waiguru in the race for Kirinyaga Governor in 2017.
“I can serve Kirinyaga County the same way I believe I can serve nationally. There is no small position, serving Kirinyaga people is serving Kenyans,” she added.
Karua, who is under pressure from a section of leaders to go for the presidential running mate position in next year’s, insisted she wants to focus on a seat she can independently fight for.
“A Deputy President’s position is not something you contest, you just hang around and be nice to others, waiting to be called. If you want service stand on your own,” she stated.

She would make a great leader full of integrity, transparency, incorruptible with an untarnished past record but the electorate is extremely blinded by handouts and tribalism to elect the best suited leaders for their own future well being. And so it goes.

Not sure who Karua will lead because all Kenyan men will migrate to Zimbabwe, and she will be stuck with little iron women destroying Kenya from within! No WSR eke will be ver be done because the women will specialize in drinking hard liquor!

She doesn't need charisma...unless you comparing her to Uhunye. Kabaki had zero charisma and look what he did. But I agree, looks have nothing to do with leadership....I don't want to mention names for this example...hehe
