Kirinyaga woman rep Wangui Ngirici has reminded her counterpart governor Ann Waiguru to carry her own cross of corruption without dragging their United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
Wangui Ngirici was referring to the corruption allegations facing the Krinyaga governor where she reminded her that it had nothing to do with her new move of joining the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
“When anti graft agencies strike, don’t blame it on joining UDA.We have built the party from scratch.” She told Waiguru.
The two women who are both eyeing the Kirinyaga gubernatorial seat in 2022 have not been seeing eye to eye.
Even after Waiguru joined the UDA party from Jubilee, Wangui Ngirici welcomed the governor to Ruto’s camp 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.
At the same time, 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,. I am loyal to UDA…I have remained loyal to UDA, even as Waiguru sold the BBI…and I know that loyalty pays.” She said.
