Maina Kageni is running for the Women Rep seat in Nairobi. The Classic FM radio host,who is know for supporting women issues,has left many Nairobians after making the announcement.
He will be running against Esther Passaris and Rachael Shebesh. This is what he wrote.“My fellow Kenyans I wanna thank you so so much for the faith you had in me, for more than 10 years I have sat on air and addressed issues that regard women in Kenya. And it started as a joke and people kept saying “you need to run for women representative” and initially I didn’t take them seriously but I realized the demand was real.
So after much thought, after much consideration and consultation with Nairobi’s women, with the electorates and with supporters of Classic 105, I decided that this is the time to make a move. If we stay where we are we will never make a difference.
And so I initially began the process of being able to be sure that am gonna be on the ballot. And the first place I went to was the registrar of political parties who dully issued this certificate to me as an independent candidate,” Maina Kageni.
So,will you vote for Maina Kageni?
