Kinsi, who is vying on ODM party ticket says she will humiliate Gure and others in the Woman Rep race.
In an interview with a local daily, the Woman Rep hopeful said that she is the best bet for residents. Kinsi revealed that she has an agenda to empower and transform the lives of young people, women and Persons Living with Disabilities (PLWD).
The ODM Woman Rep aspirant said that if elected she will push for job creation, women empowerment through businesses and inclusion of persons living with disabilities in government affairs.
Kinsi claimed the county government led by Governor Nathif Jama has sidelined marginalized groups.
“I am the hope for Garissa youth, women and all marginalized groups and I am urging them to support by election bid,” she said on Wednesday.
The Woman Rep aspirant criticized the incumbent accusing her of ‘sleeping’ on her job.
She claimed that Gure’s leadership has not improved the living standards of residents. “Gure should explain to us what she has done for marginalized groups in her rule,” she said.
Kinsi claimed that despite Gure having an access to the Social Affirmative Action fund, she has not initiated any project.
The woman rep hopeful said that Gure’s time is up saying that she will beat her mercilessly.
Gure is seeking re-election in the August 8 polls but faces stiff competition from Jubilee party aspirant Annab Subow and others.
