Governor Nderitu Gachagua will not be stepping aside after his term ends. Rumours have been circulating that the governor will not defend his seat in the August 8 polls so he can focus on his health.
The rumours came in the wake of growing disquiet about Mr Gachagua’s whereabouts. The governor has not been seen in public for over two months now. But yesterday, his deputy, Samuel Wamathai, assured residents that Gachagua would defend his seat.
