Nyamira County resident Nuru Moraa, 57, is still waiting for President Uhuru Kenyatta to fulfill his 2017 promise to help her educate her children.
According to Moraa, who spoke at her Nyairang'a village home, she met Uhuru during the 2017 campaigns in Ikonge town, Nyamira County, where she sells vegetables.
She claimed that when she sought audience to talk to the President, he readily granted her an audience and asked his security personnel to allow her to proceed.
“When I raised my hand to talk to the President he readily granted me an audience and asked his security personnel who were out to block me to allow me to proceed,” Moraa said.
She appealed to Uhuru to assist her educate her children, as she struggles to raise them alone since her husband Samson Mose died in 2003.
Uhuru allegedly promised to help her after the General Election and asked North Mugirango MP Joash Nyamoko to take her to State House after the August 2017 polls.
“The President called Nyamoko and told him to ensure I am taken to State House so that he could fulfil his promise of helping me, something that has not happened,” Moraa added.
However, Nyamoko could not be reached for further comment.
