On July 13, 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta attended the traditional wedding of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and city lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo in a ceremony that drew significant attention.
The president's presence at the wedding was notable, given his long working relationship with Governor Waiguru, which dates back to their time at the Treasury in the grand coalition government and later in the cabinet during his first term.
During the ceremony, President Kenyatta took to the stage to offer words of encouragement to the newlyweds, praising Governor Waiguru as a 'wonderful girl' and a 'hardworking, committed woman.'
He said, 'Kamotho I can guarantee you that you have married a wonderful girl. A hardworking, committed woman. I have worked with her before and she is committed to everything she has done.'
However, the president's guarantee was met with amusement on social media, with many users poking fun at his promise.
