Kirinyaga might be the first county to produce a woman president. Yes, Martha Wangari Karua could become our first female president-but not next year. But can the 2013 presidential candidate really walk to State House in future? Yes, if she considers these three things: Shifting her political vision, revising her political approach and dissolving the iron lady in her - the last is non-negotiable.
Karua must drop her Kirinyaga gubernatorial bid and be where she belongs. But, fortunately, she belongs to a higher political caste, national politics and not grassroots politics. Come on, Martha, you are presidential material; leave Ngirici and Waiguru to scramble over small things.
