Anne Waiguru Hints at Joining Ruto's UDA Party

Anne Waiguru Hints at Joining Ruto's UDA Party

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has hinted at joining the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ahead of the 2022 general elections.

Waiguru, who spoke on Wednesday, gave the clearest indication that she is considering seeking re-election under the Deputy President William Ruto-linked party.

Addressing members of the public at Thiba area in Mwea Constituency, the first-time governor said she will follow the will of Kirinyaga residents, who want her to join UDA.

When she asked area residents on which ticket she should defend her seat, they chanted UDA.

“Mtanirudisha 2022 kama governor wa Kirinyaga?… Mliskia nikisema mimi naskiza watu wa Kirinyaga? Nilisema nitafanya vile watu wa Kirinyaga wanasema. Kwa sababu mumesema mutanirudisha, mnataka nikuje na chama gani huku Kirinyaga? Nikuje na chama gani? posed Waiguru as the crowd chanted UDA.

Waiguru was in the company of County Assembly Majority Leader James Murango and Thiba MCA Pius Njogu.

Should Waiguru decamp to UDA, she will face off Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici, who is eyeing the gubernatorial seat under the UDA ticket.

We as a people in Kenya will never be free from the wanton greed and corruption of politicians as long as they are not driven by ideology but the thirst for power and access to state resources. A known female thief is now joining hands with the most skilled thief Second-in-Command in the history of Kenya.

WaKenya, AMKENI KUMEKUCHA. Kama Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto akichaguliwa kuwa rais wa jamhuri yetu, na makamu wake akawa Dada Waiguru, nchi yetu tunayoipenda kama tuijuavyo itamalizika kabisa.

Ndugu Wafula Chebukati, UKO WAPI? Nakuomba ufanye kazi pamoja viongozi wa DCI na EAAC na kuwachunguza watu hawa wawili kwa makini ili wasipate nafasi yoyote ya kugombea uchaguzi nchini wa mwaka ujao.

Kusema kweli, rais ambaye anaweza kuondoa kupe, chawa, mende, kunguni, viroboto, mbu katika nchi ya Kenya nimjuaye ni NDUGU KIVUTHA KIBWANA 2022.

Some one said in politics,“There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests”.
I hope we are not forgetting that not more than 3years ago a poll conducted said that Waiguru,and Ruto were the most corrupt people in Kenya.Do you folks remember that? Now can you envision the two running the country?
Elections are around the corner.Please let's make the votes count.This is serious stuff. Alot of damage can be done with the wrong people in the administration.Certainly we cannot afford 5 years of kleptocracy.
Let's gamble with new faces,and hopefully they will bring new ideas.How can we keep voting for the same people and expect different results?Is there any wonder regime after regime it appears that we are just spinning our wheels...

Maxiley…Great statement here! Why we seem to be ‘spinning’ year in/out is lack of integrity on us Kenyans. Leaders, corrupted or not, will come and go. But unless we Kenyans start thinking in terms of personal accountability, next generation, individual responsibility, and patriotism, no leader will be able to change the status quo. We have a culture of ‘don't care attitude’ and selfishness, our traditional ethos are crambling, thanks to divide and rule antics carefully designed by the so called professional politicians. In the Kenyan context, we see elected leaders strategically suppressing development in their areas to continue marginalizing their followers so they may stay dependent and begging!!!! We have to change our thinking and it starts with me and you as a living example to do that right within our households. I am not sure any leader can change the corruption mantra regardless of the large bullhorn they are screaming from the tallest mountain. Unless, of course, we try dictatorship (authoritarian rule) where adverse culture can be changed the Kagame way!

The birds of a further do flock together! It is another known thief @waiguru finding refuge in the bigger thief’s nest @ruto!

Waiguru does not deserve to be re-elected as the Kirinyaga County governor! She has stolen enough and no wonder she is moving over to Ruto’s camp where all the thieves go!

Why is Ruto so attracted to thieves????? God do help our country against these masenaries of corruption finding a home in Ruto’s UDA!

You could be right that Waiguru has stolen much in the hands and protection of the president. She has remained untouchable till recently when she notice the UDA wave among her constituency. You could as much as you wish without being arrested as long as you are in Jubilee or friends with Uhuru or Raila.

Look at how thieves of your coffers smile together because they both think Kenyans are very stupid!

Something has to give to change this kind of madness in Kenya! Ruto has corruption cases to answer and Waiguru has corruption cases to answer! Are these the kind of leaders Kenyans want to lead them?

Our country is under siege by politician thieves and we must rise up to defend Kenya!

@marthakarua - do your best to beat this corrupt Waiguru this time around! Waiguru just confirmed she is a thief by joking the chief the DP Ruto!

The people of Kirinyaga and Kenyans can do better than this nonsense!

We don’t need the two amigos lying to us here in Kirinyaga! We can do far much better than this crap!

People are getting very tired being played by these shady politicians! Waiguru has now joined the other thief to steal some more of the tax payers money!

Thanks God 2022 is soon coming for us to ditch useless people like Waiguru!

We need a serious person for a governor! Waruguru’s goose is now cooked!

I have really been disappointed by the women politicians in Kenya who have turned out to be worse thieves than the male politicians!

Waiguru is a classic example of the female politicians who have stolen from the people! Her standing with Ruto goes on to confirm Waiguru’s moral character and behavior! I will be voting for Martha Karua in 2022!

As long as UDA gets defeated all is well .Kenya can finally be rid of her .Mt Kenya and Rift Valley unite it will be two tribes against the other 41 surely it is time the head of state comes from a different community and retire these two tribes for good.

Women DP is the highway to state House via mama Mboga Cupid. Two thieves are better than 10 million thieves of jubilee. Just keep no one else from stealing.

Kenyans will decide because non of the Kenya politicians is clean they are all thieves that is why they and most Kenyans are poor or just getting by, so before you cast the first stone understand the people you are supporting and you might think otherwise

Street mob justice to wipe off these thieves should be morphed! This idiot waiguru still thinks kenyans are stupid. Kenyans are angry! They wont entertain this bullsht of politicians any longer.

Sipendi kutumia matuzi kwa yeyote yule lakini nitakapofika mahali niyatumie, msiite barabara ya Mbagathi jina la Mjuaji Boulevard. Waiguru anadhania Wakenya ni wapumbavu kiasi gani? Kitu kimoja nampendea Martha Karua ni kuwa, ana msimamo dhabiti. Na hukinga na kulinda jina lake hata kama ni kukosa kuwa kiongozi.
