Responding to Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi's suggestion that she was up to the task, Ms Shebesh said she was happy working for the Ministry of Public Service, Gender and Youth. 

“I am no longer a politician. I am now a civil servant. The transition has been quick because of the directions of the President. No more siasa, it’s all about development,” she said.

Shebesh was among people considered to be Sonko's assistant after the resignation of Polycarp Igathe.
