As 2017 approaches, many people have been wondering whether incumbent Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua will retain his seat after the next general elections.
Machakos gubernatorial race has attracted the wealthy and mighty. Unlike other counties where women have kept off the political arena, women from this county have been locking horns with men on various platforms.
Governor Alfred Mutua has not been left either as Wavinya Ndeti looks forward to unseating him in the next general elections.
Electing a female governor is one of the best decisions that Machakos residents can make come 2017. Voting a female governor will not only show that we respect gender issues but also take the county to the next level when it comes to matters to do with development.
A woman understands the needs of the people of Machakos more than a man does. A female governor will initiate projects to benefit women, youth and men from various parts of the county.
There are very few men who understand what it means to lack water in a home. In addition, women feel more pain to see their children dropping out of school simply because someone somewhere has embezzled funds meant for primary, secondary and tertiary education.
A woman will not sleep until Mama Mboga transforms to Mama Duka and Mama Duka upgrades to own a supermarket in town.
