Mama Ngina urges Mt. Kenya voters to follow President Kenyatta's direction

Former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta has waded into the President Uhuru Kenyatta succession talk with a call to residents of Mt. Kenya to support the Head of State’s position.

Mama Ngina made the rare comments on Tuesday in Kafangi village of Gatundu South, Kiambu County.

She said President Kenyatta will not mislead the people of Kenya and that he has the best interests of the country at heart.

Mama Ngina made reference to the broken relations between President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto saying the DP had abandoned his boss.

She spoke during the burial of Nelly Wanjiku, mother of Bishop Ernest Karanja.

“Those who are insulting others, we will let them be, maybe the insults are informed by how they were raised. Let us try to love one another in our country and drive the country’s affairs forward, and be aware of where you are headed,” she said.

“And your leader cannot lead you on the path that is not good for you. I tell you, he who sits on a tree stump knows what the ants eat. He (Uhuru) had no problem with his deputy, but if your deputy shows ill intentions would you bother with him or carry on. Where he (Uhuru) shows you, please follow that direction.”
