  • Newy sworn-in Meru governor, Kawira Mwangaza, on Sunday, August 28, recounted the challenges she endured in her pursuit to break the glass ceiling and become the county’s first female boss.

    In a sit-down with NTV, Mwangaza noted that her meetings and rallies were often chaotic and involved things being thrown at her.

    In some instances, she explained that rotten eggs and stones were directed towards the stage forcing the police to intervene and restore order.

    “You must have enough security. I found myself being stoned while holding meetings. Some people threw rotten eggs at me as well as bottles. Police were forced to intervene and disperse the crowd with teargas.

    “I believe if politics is a dirty game, then we as religious leaders must come out to clean it up,” stated Mwangaza.

    During her pursuit for the gubernatorial seat, Mwangaza noted that besides stiff competition, she was often overlooked first by the elders and then other stakeholders.

    Njuri Ncheke have since apologised to her while she disclosed that she forgave all the individuals that gave her a hard time, including her main challenger and the county’s former governor, Kiraitu Murungi.

    “Not just Kiraitu, I also forgive those who insulted and stoned me. I also ask for forgiveness from them.

    “Do not despise humble beginnings. Always be confident in whatever you do no matter the type of work. No matter what you go through, God will bless you. I am here as the third Meru governor and I thank God,” she added.

    Her journey to political royalty has, however, not been an easy one. In a previous interview, she disclosed that she was left broke after spending northwards of Ksh20 million campaigning for Buuri parliamentary seat and lost.

    To make ends meet, she resorted to selling clothes and vegetables at the market.

    “In 2013, when I was contesting for a parliamentary seat in Buuri, we spent over Ksh20 million. The campaign spending spree left us bankrupt. I resolved to start selling tomatoes, and other farms produce in Ruai and  Kawangware,” she narrated at the time.

    Financially injured, Mwangaza and her husband, a musician, decided to try their luck by investing in the media industry. They launched Mwangaza TV, an online media station.

    Her passion for media also pushed her to acquire a stake in Baite Television, a station that broadcasts in the Meru dialect. The TV station catapulted Mwangaza’s rise in politics.
