On 13 July 2019, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and her fiancé Kamotho Waiganjo are set to embark on a new journey together as they solemnise their union in a traditional wedding.
The couple, who have been in a relationship for 10 years, have chosen to go traditional, with the ceremony taking place at Kiamugumo Primary School in Muranga County.
According to Kamotho, the guest list is packed with politicians and friends from their social scenes, and the fact that it will be an open-air event makes it inevitable that things may turn political.
However, Kamotho does not feel shortchanged that his big day will be peppered with political speeches and innuendos, saying he proposed to Anne knowing well that she is a politician, and he is willing to stick by her and watch her pursue her passion.
On the question of relocating to Kirinyaga, Anne says it should not arise, and that she will continue dispensing her duties regardless of where she is married.
She admits that she is excited about her wedding, and the thoughts of the numerous possibilities that the marriage holds is new to her.
‘We have been best friends and partners for 10 years. Very little will change after the wedding,’ she says.
As they prepare for their big day, questions on whether Anne will now spend more time in her matrimonial county of Muranga are being asked online and off the net.
Ever since they made the grand revelation of their engagement in February this year, talks on how her marriage will affect her political ambitions abound.
