Governor Susan Kihika Discloses She is on Maternity Leave

Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has finally broken her silence after Kenyans questioned her whereabouts.

In a letter dated January 17, the governor explained that her absence was due to her being on maternity leave.

According to the governor, she felt compelled to address the matter after receiving numerous phone calls from concerned Kenyans wanting to know why she had been out of the public eye.

“Following numerous calls that I have received regarding my absence, as the elected Governor of Nakuru County, I want to first of all assure the people of Nakuru that I am well and currently on maternity leave,” Kihika clarified.

She went ahead to assure the county residents that service delivery in Nakuru would go on seamlessly and that she would be out for only a few weeks.

Kihika further announced that Nakuru Deputy Governor David Kones would oversee the running of the county.

“While thanking the people of Nakuru for their concern, I wholeheartedly assure them that service delivery in our Great County is proceeding as envisaged under the able guidance of the team led by the Deputy Governor, H E David Kones.I have no doubts whatsoever in HE Kones leading them in my absence. I will be resuming official duties at the end of my leave in the next few weeks. God bless you all.”

Her comment comes after a section of Kenyans alleged that she had reportedly travelled to the United States of America to deliver.
