Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) national chairperson Rahab Mwikali has vowed to rally other women in conducting door-to-door campaigns in the Coast region to support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election bid.
She made the remarks as more than 3,000 representatives of the organisation said they will support Uhuru to ensure he gets a second term, the Star has reported.
“We must differentiate between stories and actions. If we have someone building the country, why can’t we support him again? How do we part with a president whose work we have seen? How do you leave a person you know for another one you don’t?” said Mwikali Tuesday during a women’s empowerment forum for the Coast region.
The organisation’s Kwale County chairperson Amina Musau said residents have benefitted from SGR, roads, electricity and free education hence the reason to back Uhuru’s quest for another term.
On her part, Kwale woman rep Zainab Chidzuga appealed to the President to support the Jubilee team in the Coast region.
“We are happy when other people come to campaign for the President but we are the people who best know the language to hunt for votes in the Coast region,” said Chidzuga.
“The development Uhuru has done has not been there for the last 50 years. Those making noise have been in governments.”
She lauded regional coordinator Nelson Marwa for supporting women’s peace initiatives.
First Lady Margaret Kenyatta attended the forum which was held at Matuga School of Government.
She hailed women for embracing her projects aimed at improving Kenyans’ lives and appealed to them to re-elect Uhuru.
