Former devolution cabinet secretary Anne Waiguru might contest for an elective position in the 2017 general election.
Waiguru, while responding to hundreds of Nairobi women’s request to join the county gubernatorial race, said she needed time to think about the issue.
“I will take some time to pray and think about it then call a meeting to announce the way forward. I came to say ‘thank you’ but I am leaving with a lot more,” said Anne Waiguru as quoted by The Star
The former minister was speaking during a meeting with about 200 women leaders from Nairobi county’s 17 constituencies on Wednesday, January 2017. She thanked them for standing with her during the times she was under pressure to resign from the cabinet due to scandals in the National Youth Service.
The women said that it was time for them to unite and decide on the political destiny of the country as had for many years misused them.
According to the newspaper, Anne Waiguru said she was ready to work with Evans Ondieki who had just been kidero. Ondieki, a former county environment minister, also attended the meeting.
If Waiguru joins the race, she would be the third former minister in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s cabinet to do so.
