She caught the crowd by surprise when
she called Kenya Kwanza, ‘Kenya Kwisha’, with some of the leaders who were
seated in the front being unable to hold back laughter.
Ruto and his muscle flexor Rigathi
Gchagua were seated in front when Wairimu slipped her tongue. She rushed to end
her prayers after realizing the mistake she has done.
“As of this date we want to
come into agreement with the ‘Kenya Kwisha’, I mean Kenyan Kwanza women that
every handwriting has been erased,” the pastor stated.
Ruto was the chief guest
spearheading the UDA women signing treaty event at Nyayo stadium.
The event was set to neutralize
the Azimio-Oka coalition manifestos launched at the same premises three days
ago.
The UDA party encouraged all media
houses to send their female journalists for the Nyayo Stadium event coverage.
According to the Kenya Kwanza
coalition, the decision to have female journalists covering the event is part
of commemorating the role women play in numerous areas.
“We encourage your Media
House/Online News Blog to deploy a Women Crew as we seek to celebrate and
highlight the important role played by women in all sectors,” UDA
Communications Director Wanjohi Githae said in a media invite.
The signing of the Kenya Kwanza
Women Charter is set to take place at the event to be attended by the
coalition’s presidential flag bearer William Ruto.
This comes days after the launch
of the UDA Women’s League at a Nairobi hotel on Sunday.
During the launch of the UDA
Women’s League, Ruto said his party is banking on the support of women to win
the August 9 polls.
“UDA is a
women’s party. It has the largest representation of women across the board. All
opinion polls indicate UDA is the most popular party in Kenya and has a record
majority of women,” said Ruto
