Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has asked former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to keep off from her political turf following his recent remarks over her association with President William Ruto.
In a subtle attack, Waiguru said she will not be intimidated to join Gachagua’s political camp through threats and insults.
Speaking during the distribution of climate change mitigation items at Kamiigua Grounds in Kutus, yesterday, Waiguru said Mt. Kenya elected leaders will not be blackmailed into supporting anyone.
“We will not worship anyone, we will not make him our God but we are planning for our political future. We will show our people the way when 2027 come,” she said.
She further asked Gachagua to stop meddling on issues that he does not have facts on saying she will not receive instructions from outsiders on how to serve the people.
“We know how to serve our people and we have a clear plan on service delivery and we do not need instructions from anyone to do our work,” Waiguru said.
Waiguru asked Gachagua to respect her and voters from Kirinyaga who had given her a second term to serve as a Governor.
“Let’s respect each other, we will not engage in insults with anyone but stop peddling lies. People of Kirinyaga did not make a mistake electing me for a second term,” she added.
She said the issue of milk uptake by the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC) at Kirima Slopes Dairy Cooperative had been resolved by the county government way before the former Deputy President visited the county.
“I called for a meeting between New KCC and the management of the cooperative and that issue was solved way before and KCC started buying the milk at Ksh.65 per liter the same day, so get your facts correct before your speak,” Waiguru said.
The Governor said she “know very well how to read political mood at the grassroots” and she will guide her supporters on where to cast their ballot when time for elections come.
Waiguru said she is not a political pushover adding that no one can be elected as a Governor without support of the people.
“Am the one who started the ‘Kusikiza ground’ saying and the therefore if there is anyone who knows how to listen to the political mood at the grassroots it’s me. They borrowed their slogan from me,” the Governor said.
