Governor Anne Waiguru Hints at Future Political Ambitions as Kirinyaga's Development Agenda Takes Centre Stage

In a recent address during a county prayer day, Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has hinted at her intention to remain active in politics, potentially aiming for a bigger political post. However, she did not declare her future political interests during the meeting attended by hundreds.

Waiguru, who is nearing the end of her second term, highlighted the significant progress made in Kirinyaga during her tenure. The transformation in the county from 2017 to 2022 includes substantial improvements in development and service delivery. She reiterated her commitment to a smooth transition, assuring residents that her legacy will be one of progress and stability.

The former Chairperson Council of Governors expressed her hope to hand over power to a leader who will safeguard the development gains made in Kirinyaga. She urged the residents to play a crucial role in ensuring their development agenda remains safeguarded by electing leaders who will uphold the standards set during her term.

In a few weeks, Waiguru announced her support for Johnson Nduya Muthama as the candidate for the Kirinyaga governor position after her term ends in 2027. Muthama, a long-time ally of Waiguru, is expected to continue the development trajectory of the county, aiming to take it to a higher level beyond the standards set by Anne Waiguru.

Many are curious about Waiguru's future political moves in a region undergoing political transition. Despite the uncertainty, Waiguru has previously hinted at her intention to remain active in politics, fuelling speculation about her potential political ambitions.

As Kirinyaga moves towards the 2027 polls, the focus remains on sustaining the development momentum and ensuring a smooth transition. The residents of Kirinyaga play a crucial role in this process, and their active participation in the political process is essential for the continued progress of their county.
