Waiguru reaffirms support for Ruto, backs equitable development agenda

Speaking on Wednesday during a public meeting at the Kisii Agricultural Training Centre (ATC), hosted by Kisii Governor Simba Arati, Waiguru said all regions should benefit from national development initiatives regardless of their political or geographical backgrounds.

She commended Ruto for what she described as visible development in different parts of the country, including the Gusii region, saying the government's approach reflected a commitment to equitable development.

“I thank the President for the agenda of equality for all regions. The President has demonstrated his commitment to development across the country, and we can see this even here in Kisii,” Waiguru said.

The Kirinyaga governor also called for national unity, arguing that fairness in resource allocation and development was essential to building a prosperous country.

She said the principle of Usawa ni Sawa should guide the country's development priorities, insisting that no region should be sidelined.

“In my Kenya, we believe in Usawa ni Sawa. An equal Kenya is a prosperous Kenya. We will take this message across Mt. Kenya and the entire country. We stand for unity, not hate,” she said.

Waiguru's remarks reaffirm her political alignment with Ruto's administration as political leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The meeting brought together leaders and other stakeholders for discussions on national development and cooperation, with Waiguru using the platform to advocate for unity and equal opportunities across regions.
