The group which is composed of widows speaking on Thursday at Maangi's Riagongera rural home said that Maangi is suitable to succeed Governor James Ongwae. 

"As widows, we have resolved that we will go deep in the grassroots to tell people to throw their support behind you. Maangi is the best governor Kisii County will have once the incumbent completes his second term in 2022," said one of the widows Eunice Nyamingá from Ikoba.

Another one, Delvin Bosibori claimed that DG Maangi is best suitable to empower widows, unlike other aspirants who have plans to ascend to power to enrich themselves. 

"Kisii residents deserve to get the leadership of Maangi. I urge widows and Kisii residents at large to go deep to the villages to mobilize people to support Maangi's gubernatorial bid," Bosibori stated. 

Maangi who was present said should he became the second governor, he will not neglect widows. 

"I will work closely with widows to ensure they live a good life should I win the governor seat in 2022," Maangi noted.
