| Nakuru governor Susan Kihika and her husband |
Nakuru governor Susan Kihika has blasted a fan who suggested that she takes up polygamy Susah Kihika and her husband officiated their union in 2020. Amidst unverified rumours that there is trouble in Kihika and Sam Mburu’s relationship, the governor is not taking lightly some netizen’s suggestions. The businessman attended his son’s graduation ceremony alongside his ex-wife. Mburu and Kihika reportedly met during the 2013 General Election after the politician jetted back to Kenya after a 20-year stay in the United States (US). The youthful businessman helped Kihika bag the Nakuru senatorial seat in the 2017 General Election by bankrolling her campaigns. Mburu got engaged to the governor in November 2020 at a colourful ceremony in Laikipia county. Responding to a tweet by Citizen TV where Kimani Ichungwa praised women’s leadership, suggesting that the governor’s seat should be assigned to women leaders as affirmative action. Kihika wrote: “Thank You ML @KIMANIICHUNGWAH for recognizing the great strides women leaders are making in their counties, constituencies.” A netizen responded to the governor saying: “But accepting to be second wives is where they draw the line.” The politician blasted the netizen. She said: “You must be confusing me with your mother!”
