It’s getting hot in United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as William Ruto’s supporters Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru and Women Rep Purity Ngirici violently clash.
Waiguru/Ngirici war was exacerbated by the defection of the Kirinyaga governor to UDA further complicating the election matrix.
Waiguru’s defection means that she will squared it out with Ngirici for UDA ticket, while before her switch to Ruto’s party it was clear they would have faced each other in the general election.
The two women continue to fire shots at each other unabated in a move that is threaten to split UDA right in the middle.
Ngirici’s husband businessman Andrew Ngirici has already threatened to stage mass walkout over what he terms as Ruto’s endorsement of Waiguru.
The Kirinyaga Women Rep also fired direct shots at Waiguru and subtle shot at Ruto during a meeting with women groups in her county.
Mrs Ngirici insisted that Waiguru is a theft and can’t stop stealing just because she has now joined UDA and supports Ruto.
The Kirinyaga Women Rep strongly castigated Waiguru for calling for Interior Principal Secretary (PS) Karanja Kibicho’s ouster.
Ngirici said that Waiguru wanted Kibicho sacked because he stopped her from grabbing a piece of land belonging to Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI).
“Hakuna wakati hata siku moja mimi nitawahi kusimama niseme kwamba mtu ambaye amechaguliwa kutoka county yangu akafutwe kazi sababu anasaida hii county. Mukiona huyu mama anaingilia Kibicho ni kwa sababu Kibicho aliweza kutuletea Kemri na huyu mama alikua ameipinga, alikua anataka kuiba hio ardhi. Tukakaa chini kama viongozi tukasema kwamba hii Kemri inakuja hapa itasaidia wale watu wako na cancer. Hii Kemri ambayo inakuja pale tunaletwa University ya kusome Medicine. Hii Kemri amabye inakuja pale iko na hospitali kubwa. Jamani mwanamke alikuja akasema ati 100 acres ni kubwa sana Kemri ipewe 30 acres, 70 acres zirudishwe kwa county. Si munajua vile alikua anataka kufanya nayo? Mwizi ni mwizi! Mwizi ni mwizi! Ata akipikiwa nini ama afanyiwe nini. Ndo nimesema ata akiwekwa UDA atakuwa mwizi. Ata Akisupport Ruto atakuwa mwizi. Hio ndo ukweli kina mama,” Ngirici said.
