Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici has urged boda boda riders in the area to desist from any moves that may sway them into crime.

Ngirici also told the riders to be careful with whom they did business since some errands could land them into serious trouble.

She said that some criminals were using boda boda operators to perpetuate their dark activities.

Speaking at the Sifa Gardens in Kutus town when she officially launched the Kutus Riders Operators Sacco on Saturday, the legislator assured the group that she will always support them.

The facility located within the centre of the county along the Kutus –Embu road has a serene environment conducive for all sorts of events be they political social, cultural or educational.

Ngirici said should she be elected the next local governor, she will be easily accessible since she was born, brought up and married in the same county with no chance of abandoning her voters.

The leader further discredited governor Anne Waiguru for describing her (Wangui’s) husband as ugly.

“You purport to be married by a handsome, learned and rich husband yet you keep shying away from moving around with him as I do with mine. I am very proud of Ngirici since being handsome, beautiful or ugly does not put food on the table," she said.

The Ngirici’s and the governor it has now emerged are embroiled in a bitter political rivalry ahead of the general elections.

Wangui is on a mission to wrestle the coveted seat from Waiguru who is a first-time governor using the muscular and financial muscle of her wealthy husband.

Others who have declared their intent for the same seat are former area governor Joseph Ndathi , Deputy Governor Peter Ndambiri , Narc- Kenya leader Martha Karua , former Mwea MP Peter Gitau while Njeru Githae though has not confirmed personally declared is said to be in the race.
