The 2022 succession politics and debate around referendum dominated speeches during the Inua Mama Nakuru County edition held on Friday at the Nakuru ASK grounds.
Women political leaders drawn from various counties in the country led by Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika in their speeches made it clear that they will not be intimidated.
Addressing at the meeting, Kihika said as women leaders, they will continue to fight for their democratic space without any intimidation from any quota.
She also hit out at the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the BBI initiative which according to her is meant to benefit the dynasty system of governance rather than Kenyans.
The Nakuru Senator also insisted that they will only support referendum that is aimed at improving the lives of the common citizens.
“You can arrest us and do anything but we will not be intimidated. We will fight for our space and support DP William Ruto’s ambition and only support the referendum that is meant to benefit Kenyans but not a few individuals,” she said.
Similar sentiments echoed by Trans Nzoia Woman Representative Janet Nangabo who called on the society to respect the role being played by women.
“Enough is enough and as women, we have to wake up form our comfort zones. We will not continue to remain in kitchens as votes are being cast,” said Nangabo.
Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Boss Shollei on her part hit out at BBI over what she termed as an illegal initiative that is meant to confuse Kenyans.
Other politicians who attended the event include Isiolo Woman Rep Rehema Jaldesa, Catherine Waruguru (Laikipia), Nakuru MPs David Gikaria (Nakuru East), Kimani Ngunjiri (Bahati), Charity Kathambi (Njoro), Jayne Kihara(Naivasha), Samuel Gachobe (Subukia), and Nakuru Woman Rep Liza Chelule among others.
