Goons belonging to Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru and Kirinyaga woman representative Wangui Ngirici on Sunday morning engaged in a fist fight outside the Kianyaga Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK).
According to a video in possession of Sonko News, the goons allied to Anne Waiguru and Wangui Ngirici burnt tyres and campaign t shirts belonging to opponents on the road just to prove a point to each other.
The paid youths were standing and bullying themselves outside the church where deputy president William Ruto was attending.
The bad relationship between the two leaders who have not been seeing eye to eye intensified after governor Waiguru joined William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
While speaking exclusively to Citizen TV, Purity Wangui Ngirici welcomed Ann Waiguru to UDA but gave her a stern warning that she is still determined to go for her seat and be the next Kirinyaga governor
As a result, the philanthropic Wangui Ngirici promised to not only win the general elections but to also defeat Ann Waiguru with a landslide at the UDA nomination stage.
“There are about 10 people who have declared their interest in the gubernatorial race, and I know I will be joined by others in UDA, so I would like to say karibu to UDA to Governor Waiguru, that is where the future is. What she didn’t see, I saw many years ago. I knew what the people wanted,” said Ngirici.
“The governor lost her ground a long time ago, immediately after she was elected, so it (her defection) doesn’t change anything. Actually, it just gives me less competition, because after nominations – and I know I will beat her – I’ll go and compete with fewer people.”
As a result, the woman rep vowed to defy any agent within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) that tells her to step down for Waiguru including the deputy president himself. She argued that she has been very loyal to the party for the longest time unlike the incumbent who just joined UDA for convenience.
“Waliniambia nikuje Woman Rep? Si nilikuja kwa hiari yangu? So nitaendelea na ile ya ugavana, mtu akitaka nichange, yeye aende achange yake lakini mimi sitabadilisha …naendea ugavana, na nitaenda hadi mwisho,” she stated.
“I am loyal to UDA…I have remained loyal to UDA, even as Waiguru sold the BBI…and I know that loyalty pays.” She continued.
Just recently, Wangui Ngirici also took a swipe at Waiguru, maintaining that she will always remain a thief even after joining UDA.
“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
The two women continue to fire shots at each other unabated in a move that is threatening to split UDA right in the middle when it comes to Kirinyaga politics.
As a result, Ngirici’s husband businessman Andrew Ngirici has already threatened to stage mass walkout over what he terms as Ruto’s endorsement of Waiguru.
