Lawmakers allied to the Tanga Tanga wing of the Jubilee Party have termed as hypocrisy the defence of impeached Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru.

On Wednesday, Public Service and Gender CS Margaret Kobia condemned the impeachment of Waiguru saying it is an ‘indicator that some do not value strong women leadership.’

The CS said Waiguru’s impeachment during the Covid-19 global pandemic is a major injustice to women leadership.



Kobia demanded justice and due process to be followed in Waiguru’s impeachment.

However, the Tanga Tanga group who are allied to Deputy President William Ruto viewed the act by the CS as practising double standards.


Elgeyo Senator Kipchumba Murkomen wondered where the CS was during the removal of women leaders from House leadership posts such as Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika who was axed from the Chief Whip post.

Murkomen added that the CS did not utter a word during the removal of Cecily Mbarire as Deputy Whip in the National Assembly.
