Former Gender Cabinet Secretary Aisha Jumwa was unable to effectively address a gathering in her hometown of Kilifi.
While addressing a crowd in Kilifi County, the former CS stated that President William Ruto was aware of her capabilities and could reappoint her to the cabinet.
After requesting reinstatement as CS, rowdy youth began booing and chanting that the President reject the request.
“William Ruto does not need to campaign for Aisha Jumwa, he knows her and if it pleases him, he will say that Aisha Jumwa should continue being part of the cabinet,” the former CS referred herself in the third person.
“If he says Aisha Jumwa to continue, in Kilifi we will say Amen and if he says Aisha Jumwa should rest we will also say Amen.”
According to Aisha Jumwa, this stems from a Christian upbringing that encourages people to be grateful at all times.
While she hoped to be a part of the Executive, the majority of the audience did not share her sentiments.
Local leaders who had accompanied the former CS were seen desperately pleading with the rowdy crowd to stop chanting and booing.
The hostile crowd ignored the request and continued chanting, making it impossible for the former Gender CS to deliver her speech.
Her first public appearance occurred two days after President William Ruto reinstated four dismissed cabinet secretaries.
They were: Kithure Kindiki (Interior Security), Aden Duale (Defence), Davis Chirchir (Roads and Transport), and Alice Wahome (Lands).
Former Trade CS Rebecca Miano returned to the Cabinet as the country’s first female Attorney General.
