Former Member of Parliament Begs Nyeri Governor For A Job

Former Nyeri Woman Representative Priscilla Nyokabi has pleaded with the new Governor Mutahi Kahiga to give her a job.

She ascertained her willingness to work for the new regime since she had lost her position after the August 8 General Election.

"Give me a job. I am now jobless but very ready to serve if given the opportunity," Ms Nyokabi pleaded.

Nyokabi spoke during the requiem mass of the late Governor Wahome Gakuru at the Dedan Kimathi University of Technology after Dr Kahiga invited her to speak.

The Governor had just finished his speech when he noticed Ms Nyokabi in the auditorium and gave her a chance to address the gathering.

Governor Kahiga went ahead to introduce Ms Nyokabi as a prominent lawyer. However, the ex-county legislator did not specify the job she was interested in.

The top vacant post in the county at the moment is the office of the Deputy Governor, but the constitution does not stipulate how the position should be filled.

Mutahi Kahiga was sworn in on Monday as the fourth Governor of Nyeri county following the death of Wahome Gakuru.

This was in line with the constitution which states that a Deputy Governor assumes office in the event a county boss dies or becomes incapacitated.

None of the other 46 governors graced the inauguration ceremony of Dr Kahiga, stating that their invitations came a little too late.
