The conspicuous absence of Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika in the county for the past five months has raised eyebrows, once again.

Since November 2024, the governor has been running the county through social media where she has been highlighting ongoing and completed projects, much to the chagrin of her constituents.

The governor came out on January 17, 2025, to explain that she was expecting a baby and that she was on a long maternity leave.
