Narc Kenya leader, Martha Karua, warmly received President Uhuru Kenyatta during his tour of Kirinyaga County on Tuesday, November 29.
President Uhuru Kenyatta embraced Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua perhaps to show that her support for Jubilee Party was welcome.
"My sister," he called after spotting Karua in the crowd.
"Eee, I am right here," the politician replied as she approached the President, amid shouts and claps by the crowd.
"How are you," Uhuru asked Karua.
"I am fine, thank you," Karua replied before the hug followed.
The meeting could mean a lot for the Kirinyaga Gubernatorial seat contest that has attracted several key figures including Karua and former Devolution Cabinet Secretary, Anne Waiguru and the incumbent, John Ndathi.
Waiguru was, however, conspicuously missing from the President’s reception raising questions on her political ambitions and her chemistry with the Jubilee administration that seems divided over her involvement in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.
The Narc Kenya leader had earlier received Deputy President William Ruto. She said she was in the county to welcome the Jubilee Party leaders.
"We have unity of purpose, like a home with an honoruable guest," she told the media.
Uhuru tour of the region will end this afternoon.
