Kitui Governor-elect Charity Ngilu has stated that she is not interested in a lavish wearing in ceremony.
According to Ngilu, she only needs the Bible brought to the venue of her inauguration to office.
She has therefore rejected a Sh6 million budget meant for the event.
Mrs Ngilu Tuesday told the team planning her inauguration that it makes no sense to use that amount of money on a one-day event while thousands of people are suffering due to water scarcity.
“All we need on that day is the Bible and venue and it certainly does not cost Sh6 million. Let us be sensitive to the poor in all our actions,” she said.
She spoke when she paid a courtesy call to Kitui County Commissioner Boaz Cherutich.
