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.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
