Two women, claiming to be Nakuru senator Susan Kihika’s step-sisters, have endorsed the incumbent Lee Kinyanjui’s gubernatorial candidature while warning Nakuru residents against voting for her as governor in the coming general elections.
Susan, who has served as the county’s senator for one term, is seeking to succeed Kinyanjui on a UDA ticket.
Her step-sisters Peris Njoki Kihika and Caroline Wanjiku Kihika are against her candidature and have accused her of frustrating their family.
According to Njoki, Susan has been doing bad things against her since 2013 to a point that she even sent her to jail for something she did not do.
“The current senator is my step sister. I have come here on behalf of citizens. I am begging you not to vote for that girl. She has done worse things to me since 2013. She uprooted my five acres of maize. In 2015 June, she took me to jail. I was there for 16 days, I appealed and the case was dismissed because she was fixing me.
“On December 29, at 12 am, she brought goons who destroyed stalls. I beg you citizens, don’t try to elect her to be your the governor. If she did to me this and I am her sister what about the common citizen, she will finish you, Let Lee Kinyanjui finish his job,” Njoki told journalists.
On the other hand, Wanjiku, whose mother is the third wife of their father, claimed that Susan is the reason why they have not shared the inheritance that their father left for them.
“Susan has frustrated us as a family and that’s is why we are even yet to share the inheritance. She is always interfering. When we try making a step, she takes us back. So as a family, we can’t trust her with leadership because she will frustrate you more. As a family we endorse Lee Kinyanjui to finish his job but Susan will trouble you, she doesn’t value rights, she is too proud and does not have mercy at all,” she said.
Their father was a renown politician in Nakuru having served as MP in three different constituencies. He died in 2004 leaving behind eight widows and 41 children. The family has been fighting over the 600 million estate he left behind. Susan’s mother is the second wife of the late Kihika.
