Friday, February 26, 2027 - Machakos County Governor Wavinya Ndeti is trending on social media for all the wrong reasons, following her annual address at the County Assembly.

The moment that set social media buzzing came as the Governor made her way into the chamber and addressed the Machakos County Speaker, Anne Mwikali, as “Madam Speaker Sir.”

The unexpected mix-up instantly caught the attention of netizens, sparking a flurry of reactions online.

While some viewed it as a harmless slip of the tongue, others debated whether it was a light-hearted attempt to break the ice.

However, the awkward moment did not end there.

As she proceeded with her address, Governor Wavinya appeared to struggle while reading her prepared speech.
