Former Roots party presidential running mate, Justina Wamae, once again begged newly elected President, William Ruto, for a state job. 

In a statement issued on Monday, September 5, Wamae urged Ruto to consider him while planning his government. 

“Justina Wamae is humbled, thank you Mr. President William Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua.

"The Bible says, speak the truth, my truth is begging for a job. Am ready to serve,” she stated

Justina's statement came hours after the Supreme Court unanimously upheld William Ruto’s Victory as President-elect on Monday, September 5.

Wamae went ahead to congratulate Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua following the nullification of Raila Odinga's petition. 

"Once again congratulations President-Elect and Deputy President-Elect. I have been vindicated. Even if they decided to kick me out of Roots party, we have already burned trees,” she stated.

A few days after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declared Ruto as the President-elect, Wamae had expressed interest in serving as a Cabinet Secretary in Ruto’s administration.

Shortly after, she begged for a job she also fell out with Roots Party leader, George Wajackoyah. 

The 35-year-old, later on, accused Wajackoyah, of being a project within the Roots Party, arguing that Kenya needs transparent leaders. 

Ruto will be sworn-in on Tuesday, September 13 and is expected to announce his cabinet a few days later.
