Anne Waiguru’s pending senate battle this coming week to deal with her impeachment as Kirinyaga governor is revealing the kingmakers in Kenyan politics.
The Kirinyaga governor is doing all she can to stave off the impeachment drive that was started earlier this year and culminated with her being impeached this week.
New information reaching us is that Mrs. Waiguru has turned to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in an effort to save her following impending impeachment motion that is yet to be debated at the Senate.
Waiguru arrived for the meeting a few minutes before 7 p.m. and was joined by the former premier a few minutes later. The meeting is said to have lasted for more than two hours, ending shortly past 9 p.m.

This according to a report in the Daily Nation that has revealed that the two met this past Thursday a club in Karen where she begged the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader to rally his allies to beat the motion.
According to a source in the meeting, the former Devolution CS further indicated that Waiguru was confident with the Kieleweke wing of Jubilee Party in defeating her motion, having reached out to a number of Jubilee Party allies and needed the help of Raila to retain her job.
The other people at the meeting were Kiambu Governor James Nyoro and his Nyeri counterpart Mutahi Kahiga.
“Waiguru has lost of enemies including in high places. There are those that do not mind if she goes home. However, framing the war as being Tangatanga vs Kieleweke by Ms Ngirici was not wise,” another source stated.
