‘Apologize to mama’s or else we demonstrate naked at your office!’ Governor Njuki warned

A group of angry women in Tharaka-Nithi County removed and dumped their inner wear outside Governor Muthomi Njuki’s office declaring he had insulted women.

The women from Tharaka, Maara and Chuka/Igambang’ombe constituencies accused Mr Njuki of demeaning them by referring to them as filthy and demanded that he withdraws and apologises immediately.

The women presented their grievances to the Chief of Staff, Mr Murithi Mbiro and other county officials outside the county boss’s office as the Governor was not in the office.

Sarah Kanini publicly accused the governor of painting women negatively in most of his public addresses. She said it was demeaning to abuse women in public considering that they played a crucial role in ensuring that he was elected.

“When the Governor was angry with contractors who were demanding payment, he dismissed the saying they should be paid by their mothers,” said Ms Kanini.

They also accused the county boss of demeaning Senator Kindiki by likening him to women and saying he is ‘speaking like a woman’ during a recent row between the two over project ownership.

Ms Eunice Kajira from Tharaka constituency also condemned the governor for insulting women by asking them to seek ‘sponsors’ to finance a beauty pageant saying the county had no funds to waste in facilitating models to catwalk in front of Members of County Assembly who were demanding financing of the event.

They also accused Mr Njuki of financing MCAs to impeach Deputy Speaker Ms Susan Ngugi whose ouster motion is set to be discussed tomorrow (Tuesday).

“Our Governor has been fighting women and that is why he is pushing for the impeachment of Ms Ngugi,” said Ms Kajira.

The county chief of staff promised to bring the grievances to the governor for action. They women gave the governor one week to apologize and threaten to remove all clothes and demonstrate at his office naked if he doesn’t fall in line.
