Wavinya Ndeti, Governor of Machakos, has defended her embattled Meru counterpart Kawira Mwangaza.
On Saturday, Ndeti stated that she would support Mwangaza not only as a fellow woman but also because she was doing a good job in improving the welfare of the poor in Meru.
She stated that the people of Meru overwhelmingly voted for Mwangaza in the 2022 elections out of love for her and that MCAs impeaching her twice was uncalled for.
Wavinya, on the other hand, proposed dissolving the county and allowing county residents to vote for their leaders again.
“Mimi nasimama na dada yangu Kawira Mwangaza, hamuwezi impeach mtu mara mbili. Mimi kama mama nitasimama na dada yangu, na nimwambie Governor Kawira kama hawa watu wanakusumbua dissolve county, chukua signature wewe na MCA mrudi nyumbani watu wachaguane tena,” Ndeti said.
This is translated to mean, “As a woman, I will stand with my sister Mwangaza. You cannot impeach someone twice. But I call on her if this does not end to collect signatures, dissolve the county so that everyone goes back on the ground to seek fresh re-election.”
The Machakos Governor urged Mwangaza to be firm and trust God who placed her in the position, adding that the Senate is composed of reasonable people who will assess the matter and give the best way forward.
“Keep trusting in God as you have always done my sister Governor Kawira. God will never forsake you. Let him fight this battle for you,” she said.
“You will once again be vindicated; the truth will set you free my friend. I am standing with you in my prayers. Do not be afraid, the Lord is with you!”Ndeti added.
