I never wanted to be a Governor – KIVUTHA KIBWANA reveals how he surprisingly became Makueni Governor in 2013


Thursday, December 5, 2024 - Former Makueni County Governor, Prof . Kivutha Kibwana has revealed that he never wanted to become a governor.

Speaking on Thursday in an interview with Spice FM, Kibwana revealed that he never planned to become a governor.

Kibwana disclosed that his initial plan was to become the chairperson of the Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC) and he was even interviewed for the position.

He explained that at the time, for one to get the CIC job, there had to be an agreement between the late president Mwai Kibaki and then Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

"I don’t think we can be able to 'mechanically' plan our lives. 

"Some things just happen. For example, I didn’t really want to be a governor, I thought I was going to be chair of the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution but those days to get that position there was to be concurrence between Raila Odinga and President Kibaki," Kibwana said.

Kibwana stated that despite doing well in the interviews, he did not get the job, and that was when he decided to go for election as governor.

 “Although I think I did reasonably well in the interview, there wasn’t that concurrence, and then President Kibaki after we talked told me it looks like that didn’t work and that is when I thought about being governor,” Kibwana added.
