Governor Kihika fires her speechwriter publicly after 'Wamunyoro' error in Madaraka Day address

Nakuru Governor Sudana Kihika has sacked her speechwriter for making ‘Wamunyoro’ error in her Madaraka Day speech.

While delivering her speech on Sunday, June 1, a hilarious moment erupted as the governor was outlining the ongoing projects in the county after she mistakenly referred to the Wanyororo Vocational Training Centre in Kabatini as the now-famous ‘Wamunyoro’, the home of the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Seconds after the incident, Kihika publicly declared that her speechwriter had been sacked.

“Construction of two lecture rooms at Wamunyoro – no, sorry, Wanyororo – vocational centre in Kabatini. And by the way, my writer of this speech is fired,” she said.

Kihika went ahead and further assured the crowd that she would remain at President William Ruto’s side at all times.

“Don’t worry. I will always be at Ruto’s side,” she said as she assured the excited crowd.

Kihika, who is a vocal critic of the former DP, who is famously known to hold most of his meetings at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri County, has never shied away from publicly displaying her opposition spirit towards the former DP’s political agendas and statements.

Only last month, Kihika blasted the former DP and called his remarks “extremely reckless” after he threatened that if the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) did not conduct the election with diligence, there would be post-election brutality in the upcoming general polls that would be worse than the one experienced in 2007/2008.

Kihika claimed that Gachagua should stop projecting his impeachment, which happened last year in October 2024, as a national crisis.

“This is extremely reckless. Coming from a region that bore the brunt of the chaos, I find it unacceptable. Gachagua must stop imagining

his political battles are national emergencies,” Kihika said.

“There comes a time when a country is bigger than an individual.

Gachagua, that time is now. We will not bleed again — not for any politician,” she added.

Echoing Kihika’s sentiments, the Saboti Member of Parliament, Caleb Amisi, stressed that politicians should refrain from inciting people.
