Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has thrown her weight behind leaders seeking to occupy highest ranks in the country.
The Chair of Council of Governors insisted that leaders should not personalise positions including the Deputy President office.
She insisted that those expressing interest should be nurtured instead of being rebuked.
“While we respect the office of the Deputy President, and indeed any other office of leadership, a progressive democracy does not allow us as occupiers of public leadership offices to personalize them to the extent that it becomes taboo for anyone else to nurture and express ambition to occupy them. We hold these offices in trust not as owners,” she stated.
“Let us recognize the right of all, especially our women and our youth to aspire to high office. Let us hold their hands in mentorship on political and socioeconomic leadership. Everyone has a right to dream & pursue their dreams like those in current leadership dreamt and their dreams actualized by the support of millions of youth & women. They too, deserve support, not hostility. Hopefully we all seek the best for Kenya,” Waiguru added.
This comes amidst storm in Mt Kenya regarding Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Over the weekend, a section of Mt Kenya leaders vowed to support Rigathi and defend him from any onslaught.
