The contest for Kirinyaga County governor’s post has now reached fever pitch. Among the candidates for the county’s top job include former devolution cabinet secretary, Ms Anne Mumbi Waiguru, justice minister in president Kibaki’s government, Ms Martha Wangari Karua and the incumbent, Governor Joseph Ndathi.
There is also a Mr. Muriithi Kagai, who came second to the current governor in 2013 contest. But the real competition has with time been narrowed down to Ms Waiguru and Ms Karua’s camps.
