Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has asked people from Mt. Kenya region to reject politics of deception from leaders who want them to abandon Kenya Kwanza government.
Waiguru asked the region not to leave President William Ruto’s government because of incitement from leaders who have no any development agenda for them.
She said the region has a right to be in the Kenya Kwanza government because it had voted for President Ruto to the last man.
“We worked very hard to get this government elected, we will not abandon the government, I ask you to listen to me as your leader, daughter of the mountain and as an experienced politician,” Waiguru said.
Waiguru who spoke yesterday in Baragwi ward, Kirinyaga East, during official opening of Kiandai dispensary, said she “will not accept to see Mt. Kenya people being taken to the opposition” by disgruntled individuals who are out to advance their personal interests.
The Governor said despite having a high population, Mt. Kenya cannot form government alone because of the constitutional requirements and therefore would require to hold hands with other regions.
“With all the ongoing development projects, how can we get out government, who will finish the road projects? We should be very cautious and make calculated moves?” she posed.
On local politics, Waiguru asked those seeking to vie for political seats in the 2027 elections to go slow as campaigns are far away.
She said the country’s political landscape is very slippery and aspirants should not rush into making uncalculated decisions of joining political camps that they are not sure will withstand test of time.
“I would not want to see people of Kirinyaga being deceived, I have told those who want to vie for seats not to make rushed decisions because even those camps you are being to join, you might miss on their party ticket,” she added.
Waiguru said she is not interested in politics of deception and will not shy away from advising the people where to cast their vote.
The governor advised elected leaders to put more efforts on serving the people instead of engaging in early campaigns.
