I love giving, farming, reading motivational books, offering an ear and so much more.
Question: Why did you choose “Ngatha ya Ciiko” to be your campaign slogan?
Answer: In Gikuyu, “ngatha” means, “Maitu mwinyihia, wii itiio na mwendi andu.” NGATHA MEANS A VIRTUOUS WOMAN IN PROVERBS 31. That also translates to a humble, respectful, diligent woman who is loving to everybody regardless of their place in the society. I am that woman. The slogan suits me and the people of Murang’a are loving it.
