Former CS Kariuki Castigates Current Regime, Declares Gubernatorial Bid




Former Cabinet Secretary  Cisily Kariku has launched a scathing attack on the Kenya Kwanza administration, accusing it of failed leadership, economic mismanagement, and betrayal of campaign promises. Speaking during burial of former Kajiado North Ngcdf  chairman Simon Gatheru  the former CS also declared her intention to vie for the Nyandarua  gubernatorial seat in the 2027 general election.

In the presence of Former Kajiado North Member Parliament  who is highly celebrated by  the residents  following  his development  track record, Cs Kariuki hard hitting  speech, said the current regime has abandoned the priorities of ordinary Kenyans and instead  completing  the projects of his predecessors  they are focused on "self-preservation and political gamesmanship."

"Kenyans are suffering under the weight of rising taxes, unemployment, and a shrinking economy. This regime has failed to deliver on its promises and has instead plunged the country deeper into debt," said Cs Cisily

The former CS, who served under former President Uhuru Kenyatta, accused the current administration of muzzling dissent and ignoring the plight of devolution. she said her decision to contest for governor stems from a desire to "bring back integrity, efficiency, and people-centered leadership" to county governance.

"I have seen how power can be misused from the top. It is time to go back to the grassroots and restore hope through transparent, accountable leadership that puts wananchi first," she declared as cheers from Nyandarua mourners present  at the burial. 

 

Although she did not officially unveil her political party or running mate, the former CS hinted at building a strong coalition of like-minded leaders committed to progressive change at the county level a party that is listening to the ground.

Political analysts view her entry into the gubernatorial race as a major shake-up that could disrupt the local political equation, especially for incumbents and aspirants aligned with the ruling coalition.

As the 2027 campaigns begin to take shape, the former CS's announcement is likely to heighten political temperatures and spark realignments both locally and nationally.
