Stop Being Jittery, JP Belongs To All Of Us, Sabina advises Central Kenya Politicians.
Reacting to the recent squabbles in Kandara where different
politicians rushed to open parallel JP offices, the women rep said that no
politician could claim to own or be the sole ear of the party. She instead
challenged them to show their commitment to the party by going out to the
wananchi to popularise the party and recruit new members.
“This hullabaloo of fighting over offices is childish. These
are people who are scared and have no vision who think that the only thing to
make themselves relevant is to open up an office. Anyone who wants to show
support of Jubilee should actually go out there and convince people to join the
party. Wacheni kupigania ofisi. Ofisi hazina kura. Go to the people for these
is where the votes lie,” said Sabina at Amboseli Institute of Technology where
she was the chief guest in their 7th graduation ceremony.
She was of the opinion that neither politicians holding
elective posts nor those aspiring for the same should be office bearers in
Jubilee Party as this would compromise their positions.
She reaffirmed that come 2017, she would seek re-election as
the women rep. adding that she would wish the people of Murang’a gave her the
opportunity to complete the projects that she had initiated in her first term
in office.
“I am glad the people of Murang’a gave me the privilege of
leading them. Am not changing. 2017 I am will be the women rep of Murang’a
County. We have had challenges as the women reps in the 47 counties as we had
to hustle without any kitty to do projects but thank God, this year we got around
sh. 4.5 million per constituency that we have started project with. I would
therefore like to continue in this position so as to complete the projects that
I initiated,” she said.
On the impasse bedeviling Moi University, Sabina appealed to
political leaders to be careful not to divide the country through ethnicity. She
pointed out that universities were national assets and anyone could assume any
position in these institutions as long as they added value to them.
She reminded the
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago that public universities were not under
the devolved government and therefore he had no role to play in their
management. She also erred the idea of naming universities as per the regions
they were in as this was creating a false sense of community ownership.
“If we take the direction we are taking now, I am sorry that
our education will be in jeopardy. Universities are national institutions, we
cannot propagate tribalism into our institutions of higher learning.
Universities should actually bring Kenyans together. Let’s separate politics
from our education system,” she concluded.
