Waiguru’s frenemy unveils her rescue team – PHOTOS
Kirinyaga county now has its own version of Sonko Rescue Team, a rag tag team that offers free services to residents including provision of water, healthcare and ambulance services.
Kirinyaga Woman Representative Purity Wangui Ngirici on Sunday launched her rescue team that she has named Ngirici and Sons Rescue Team.
It will hire young men who will be dressed in red overalls that resemble the Sonko Rescue Team.
Her rescue team has a fleet of vehicles including ambulances and other service utility vehicles. The fleet was on Sunday prayed for at a service held at ACK Kianyamau in Gichugu.
The flamboyant Wangui had a chopper and a luxury vehicle waiting to ferry her after the ceremony.
FLASHY CAMPAIGNS
The politician became a household name in central region because of her flashy campaigns that were characterised by helicopters and luxury vehicles.
Wangui was in Governor Ann Waiguru’s camp, but raised eyebrows when she missed her friend’s swearing-in attended by DP William Ruto . There were claims that Waiguru had plans to humiliate her.
Wangui told Nation at the time that she had information that Waiguru’s supporters had been instructed to boo her during the swearing-in.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria had during the swearing-in accused Wangui of “undermining the newly elected governor even before she settles down to work.”
