The People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader, Martha Karua, has indicated that the country is ripe for a woman president.
Speaking in Isiolo County on Monday, April 21, 2025, Karua argued that the electorate should entrust a woman with the responsibility of bringing impactful change to the country.
Addressing a handful of her supporters in the northern part of the country, Karua opined that a woman president would tend to issues affecting the nation without neglecting others.
She used the example of how a mother takes care of her kids and the entire homestead to convince the locals to support a woman’s bid to lead the country.
While declaring interest in the top seat, Karua further explained that the unity of the nation would be achieved with a woman at the helm of power.
“Mungu akinijalia ile kiti mimi nauliza ni ya urais na ndivyo kama mama niweze kutunza Kenya kama vile mama anatunza boma. Mama hawezi kuacha mtoto hata mmoja kulala njaa ata chakula ikiwa kidogo anagawa kidogo kidogo kisha kila mtu akapata,” Karua stated.
“Keki ya Kenya tunataka igawe kwa usawa sio vile inagawa sikuizi. Mumejaribu wanaume siku izo zote, tafadhali wakati huu jaribuni mama kwa PLP,” she added.
