Susan and the Former MCAs went to bed with a very corrupt system led by former Governor Kinuthia Mbugua.Thats How Lee Kinyanjui clinched the seat without campaigning vigorously.( Actually Susan Used more money than Lee in the campaigns)
Very few people spoke against Kinuthia Mbuguas Excesses including Susan,If she had gone for Governorship she could have been exposed, the reason she opted for the easy senatorial seat which was easy to capture because the former Senator James Mungai(Very few people know his Name)went missing in action.
Two things complicates Susan rise to Gevernorship
1.If Lee manages the county well and goes for two terms Susan Kihika might miss out on the Governorship 2022,the Kalenjin Community have started laying claim to the seat and come 2027 they will not play second fiddle.
2.There are other rising politicians who are positioning themselves for county politics.One is Gilgil elect MP Martha Wangare a young nominated senator who has said she has ambition to lead the county(she is a DP ally).Susan is in her late 50s so she doesn’t have luxury of time
Africa belongs to Africans.
