Kirinyaga Women Representative Purity Ngirici boards a chopper
In what seems like a tale of a love gone sour, Ms Ngirici, a well-known tycoon in Kirinyaga, is accused of disrupting a church service where invited guest were Governor Anne Waiguru and Rachel shebesh.
Devolution Chief Administrative Secretary Rachel Shebesh was to give out Uwezo Fund cheques to 100 women’s groups in a ceremony to be presided over by Waiguru,
But Ngirici stormed the hall, tore away banners and left with several women who were waiting for the governor and Shebesh.
The woman rep’s action angered members of the public who demanded that she apologise.

Waiguru, through her communication office, said it was regrettable that an elected leader could disrupt a function meant to benefit residents.
“In this day and age such things should not be happening in politics, we need to work as a team but some elected leaders are going around to stall development for personal gain,’’ Waiguru said.
