Nakuru senator Susan Kihika on Wednesday June 10, 2020 tore into gender Cabinet Secretary Margaret Kobia after she defended ousted Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru.

Prof Kobia on Wednesday morning issued a statement condemning Waiguru’s impeachment.

Kobia in her statement termed the impeachment as an ‘indicator that some do not value strong women leadership.’

The CS said Waiguru’s impeachment during the Covid-19 global pandemic is a major injustice to women leadership.

She further demanded justice and due process to be followed in Waiguru’s impeachment.

Her statement however, sparked a public uproar, with a section of netizens questioning why she remained mum when Susan Kihika was outed as senate majority whip.

Kihika decided to take on the CS, questioning why CS Kobia never defended her.

She went further to question whether the Ministry of Gender was aware that she is a woman, arguing that she was even ready to send her naked photos the ministry for them to confirm.

“Wondering if a similar letter from @CSMargaretKobia 4 @CecilyMbarire & I got lost in the mail? Could the Ministry of Gender not be aware that we are women too? Cess, perhaps it’s time for you & I to send Kobia our naked pics then she might stand up for us against the bully too,” she tweeted.

Responding to Kihika, senate Deputy Speaker Margaret Kamar said that the naked part was unnecessary, arguing that Kihika’s was different and there wasn’t any political witch-hunt.

She argued that Kihika was not loyal to her Jubilee party, whilst Waiguru’s case is full of mens rea.

“With all due respect Mheshimiwa, the naked part was unnecessary. Anyway, your cases were different & there wasn’t any political witch-hunt. You were NOT LOYAL to your party. Waiguru’s case is full of mens rea,” she tweeted.
