Speaking on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, as President Ruto concluded his multi-day development tour of Kisii and Nyamira counties, Waiguru noted that ongoing infrastructure and socio-economic investments demonstrate a deliberate effort to ensure no part of the country is marginalized.
Addressing residents alongside national and regional leaders, the Governor observed that the same developmental attention directed toward Mt Kenya counties such as Kirinyaga and Murang’a is equally visible across the Gusii region.
Invoking the slogan "Usawa ni Sawa"—meaning equality is right—Waiguru pledged to popularize the message of national cohesion and balanced growth across Mt Kenya and the rest of the country.
She emphasized that sustainable national prosperity depends on unity rather than ethnic division, declaring that communities in Mt Kenya stand firmly against tribalism and support inclusive governance.
During the rally, Waiguru also hit out at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of displaying political arrogance toward the Gusii community by suggesting their value was limited to electoral numbers.
Highlighting close social and cultural ties between Mt Kenya and Gusii residents, she reaffirmed her support for President Ruto’s second-term bid and praised the broad-based cooperation between the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) for accelerating service delivery.
Political observers note that Waiguru’s remarks signal heightened efforts by key Mt Kenya allies to counter opposition narratives and consolidate cross-regional support ahead of the 2027 General Election.
