• She also condemned the attack on the campaign vehicle by hired goons.

Jubilee candidate in the Kirinyaga governorship race Anne Waiguru over the weekend intensified her campaigns in Ndia and Kirinyaga Central constituencies to consolidate her support ahead of the August 8, 2017 elections.

Over the weekend, Waiguru and her running mate traversed several wards in Ndia including Kariti and Kanyeki-ini, having spent the better part of last week traversing different areas in Kirinyaga Central including Kagumo, Kerugoya, Kibingo, and Karaini.

In her rallies, Waiguru thanked the residents of the two constituencies for supporting her nomination bid while calling on them to replicate the same zeal in the August 8 elections to usher in a new era of development.

The former Devolution Cabinet Secretary promised to sort out the underdevelopment that the two constituencies have experienced due to poor management and partial allocation of resources by the past administration, promising to ensure equal distribution of resources and establishing of development projects not just in the two Sub-Counties but Kirinyaga as a whole.

Some of the pressing issues that Waiguru promised to address include poor infrastructure network, water shortages, unemployment among others.

PROMISES OF BETTER DAYS

Her government, Ms Waiguru stated, will create jobs for the youth, improve agriculture, upgrade dilapidated markets and construct better roads to improve connectivity and transportation of good from the farms to the markets.

She also promised to establish youth and women empowerment programmes, support small and medium businesses and create conducive environment for investment. 

Her administration, Waiguru said, will not abandon Kirinyaga Central and Ndia, like was the case with the past administration but will work with leaders in the every part of Kirinyaga to ensure equal distribution of resources in all constituencies. 

The Jubilee candidate further stated that her stellar development record during her two-year tenure as Devolution Cabinet Secretary is a clear reference point of how effective she is in service delivery.

SHUN POLITICAL DIVISIONS

Meanwhile, Ms Waiguru has urged the people of Kirinyaga to shun leaders who are out to divide the region along party lines.

Addressing worshippers at the ACK St Stephen's Church, Kiandangae in Kariti Ward, Ndia Constituency on Sunday (30th July 2017), Waiguru condemned an attack on her campaign vehicle by hired goons the previous week, calling on the youth to reject politicians whose sole purpose is to use them for political gains.
