- The governor, Susan Kihika, was absent from her county which led to widespread criticism. A segment of her constituency initiated efforts towards removing her from office based on charges of shirking her responsibilities.
- Kihika currently resides in the United States and is undergoing postnatal evaluation following the birth of her twins.
- A group of women lawmakers, stepping forward to support her against criticisms from opponents, stated that the governor’s extended time overseas resulted from issues she experienced following childbirth.
A group of female leaders has rallied behind Governor Susan Kihika of Nakuru as she faces criticism for her extended time away from the nation.
The governor hasn't made an appearance for several months now, which has raised worries among both her constituents and other Kenyans.
She has resided in the United States for a period of time.
During the height of emotions about her location in January this year, Kihika clarified that she was on leave and had handed over responsibilities to her deputy, David Kones.
It later emerged that the county boss was in the US for a childbirth phase.
Even after the county leader’s explanations, her critics continued to press their queries, with several initiating efforts to remove her from office for neglecting her responsibilities.
Nevertheless, the female legislators, acting under the KEWOPA banner, defended the governor, asserting that the criticisms against her were unjustified since her presence in the United States was not of her own choosing.
