Published on November 18, 2021, Kirinyaga Woman Rep Purity Wangui Ngirici has fired back at Governor Anne Waiguru for speaking ill of Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho.
Ngirici, who was accompanying Deputy President William Ruto in Runyenjes, Embu County, accused the PS of disrespecting Kenyans and claimed he was the least qualified for the position.
Waiguru had condemned Kibicho for saying that he won’t stop politicking and whoever is against him should “eat razor blades or buy ropes and hang themselves”.
Ngirici defended the PS, saying Waiguru should respect the people of Kirinyaga, as she is married in Murang’a.
“Residents of Kirinyaga are well united and political differences shall never take us down this route. We understand that PS Kibicho is from Kirinyaga and Waiguru is from Murang’a. Please don’t burn our house as you go back home,” Ngirici said.
The clashes between Ngirici and Waiguru are centered around the Kirinyaga gubernatorial contest, with both vying for the UDA ticket.
