Mama Mboga Pauline Waithira who endorsed Ruto for presidency accuses the president of abandoning her.
Pauline Waithira, 70, a Mama Mboga supporter of William Ruto in the 2022 presidential race, is a resentful individual who claims that the Kenya Kwanza government dumped her after she gave them political capital.
On June 4, 2022 Wathira acted at Ruto’s proxy when he submitted his credentials to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for clearance to contest.
She was also on the spot during a UDA town hall meeting in May 2022 where illustrated how the bottom up economic model will benefit ordinary people.
However, Waithira claimed in an interview with Nation that she is angry because despite having marketedted the Kenya Kwanza government, she is still struggling to make ends meet.
“I am very angry with politicians who used me for political gain during campaigns and have now abandoned me. I was used to illustrate how poor people will benefit from Ruto’s government through the bottom-up.

“But even after they won the presidential election, I was not even invited to Kasarani Stadium during the inauguration of President Ruto and his deputy. I spent the whole day crying at home, people were laughing at me,” Waithira said as quoted by Nation.
She accused Kiambu Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa of ignoring to pick her calls despite being his agent.
Waithira also named CS Moses Kuria and Kiambu MP Machua Waithaka as some of the politicians not returning her calls.
“This is just a small fraction of the people who don’t pick up my calls and when they do, most of them promise to call me back but they don’t,” she added.
Waithira further stated that she believes that boda boda rider Calvin Ochieng who also backed President Ruto and DP Gachagua is languishing in poverty.
