Former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Ann Waiguru has today declared her bid to vie for the Kirinyaga Gubernatorial seat in 2017.

Waiguru, who was accompanied by a section of Jubilee Coalition aspirants, pledged to support the women and youth as well as develop the county as a whole.

In an event marking his 10 years in leadership, Jamleck pledged to work for the people of Murang’a further vowing to overcome any obstacle on his way to the seat.
