On February 11, angry women removed their underwear outside Njuki’s office, accusing him of insulting and demeaning womenfolk from his county.The women from Tharaka, Maara and Chuka/Igambang’ombe wanted the governor to apologise for his comments or face dire consequences.
Among other allegations, the governor was being accused of asking women to look for sponsors to finance beauty contests because the county had no funds for models to catwalk in front of Members of County Assembly.
According to a Njuri Ncheke Elder; “A curse from women is usually very bad and if it’s true that women undressed due to anger as I am getting it, I am advising our governor to offer a goat for sacrifice as per the Ameru traditions.This is the only way he can escape the wrath of those women drawn from different clans in the County,” he said.
