Monday, June 3, 2024 - Kirinyaga County Governor Anne Waiguru has distanced herself from the ongoing political realignment in the Mt Kenya region.
Speaking on Sunday, Waiguru in an
indirect salvo against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, warned that the
divisive politics being advanced by some leaders in the region should be
rejected.
The second-term governor warned
that tribal politics is very dangerous and might make the region fall behind in
terms of development.
"In 2007, we were in the same situation as we are now, and as a leader from Mt Kenya, I cannot allow our people to be misled into separating themselves from the rest of Kenyans.
"That is why we are emphasising that hatutaki siasa za ukabila.
"We want a unified
nation & to bring development to our people," Waiguru said.
The Council of Governors chairperson asked Mt.
Kenya residents to shun tribal politics and instead rally behind President
William Ruto’s government, arguing that the region has benefited a lot from the
Kenya Kwanza administration.
