President Uhuru Kenyatta met the five finalists of the Ms President Reality Show, including Waruguru wa Kiai, Renee Irene Mayaka, Betty Adera, Nereah Amondi Oketch, and Umulkheir Mohammed, at the commissioning of the Bidco Industrial Park in Ruiru last week.
On July 25, the President hosted the finalists at State House Nairobi, demonstrating his interest in the show and its contestants.
The Ms President Reality Show, which has been airing since January 30, has been a platform for women to demonstrate their leadership skills and articulate societal issues.
According to Josephine Kalinauckas, the EU's Head of Section in Delegation Foreign Policy Instruments in East and Southern Africa, the show has shown that women have huge potential in leadership and should not be overlooked in seeking solutions to challenges.
“It is a message to Kenyans that they should not overlook the role of women while seeking solutions to challenges. Problems cannot be fully tackled without involving everyone,” Kalinauckas said.
The winner of the show will be announced tonight on KTN Home from 8pm, based on viewers' votes through a free Short Messaging Service code.
