Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru says she will not relent in her efforts to have Laikipia residents rally behind President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The vocal lawmaker said the region had so much to benefit by being in the good books of the head of state, who she said remained the undisputed political kingpin of the Mount Kenya region.

Speaking in her county on Wednesday, July 15, Waruguru noted that no one stood to benefit if they worked with Deputy President William Ruto’s Tanga Tanga faction.
She warned that the region risked losing out on development in the near future if it blindly followed the DP’s camp that was solely focused on endless 2022 succession politics.
“Development and support for progressive activities cannot be found in Tanga Tanga but only in government which is currently led by Uhuru,” she stated.

The MP told the residents that the President would soon announce major development projects for the region when he tours with Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Waruguru was presiding over distribution of cheques in Matanya, Kabanga, Kamangura and Wathituga villages where women, youths and persons with disability groups benefited.
The former Tanga Tanga supporter, who made a dramatic U-turn to back Uhuru and ODM boss Odinga, recently went down on her knees while addressing a section of Laikipia youths, begging them to rally behind the Handshake partners.

“My fellow youths just tell me, Raila has been in the opposition and has been salivating to join the government, now he is in, and you want Waruguru to go and suffer in the opposition…we are sitting in the government. Uhuru is the president, Baba (Raila) ni baba na Mama ni mama (Raila is our father and I am your mother),” she stated.
Waruguru experienced her Damascus moment shortly after paying a courtesy call on Odinga at his Capitol Hill office on Tuesday, June 9.
She was accompanied by National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohamed to the afternoon meeting.
