On June 24, 2020, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and her husband, Kamotho Waiganjo, attended an impeachment motion hearing before the Senate Committee at the Parliament. As the hearing progressed, Waiganjo's restlessness was palpable, a testament to his deep concern for his wife's well-being.
Waiganjo, a seasoned lawyer, was determined to defend his wife against the allegations brought forth by the Kirinyaga County Assembly. He made frequent trips to the front bench, whispering something in his co-counsel's ear and occasionally speaking through the microphone to offer his input.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Waiganjo remained calm and composed, a stark contrast to the anxiety that seemed to grip him. His demeanor was a reassuring presence for his wife, who sat calmly playing solitaire on her phone.
As the hearing continued, Waiganjo's eagerness to defend his wife became increasingly apparent. He stood up to speak, his voice booming in the hearing chamber, and seemed to be itching to take the witness stand and challenge the testimony of the ward rep, David Kinyua.
Waiganjo's actions were a testament to the vows he had made to his wife in a traditional marriage ceremony held in Gichugu, Kirinyaga County. He was determined to stand by her side, for better or for worse, and to defend her honour against all adversity.
