Karanja slammed leaders who, she claimed, rose to immense wealth while in office without clear business ventures.
“These people came in with nothing; today, they have private choppers. They have become billionaires. No one becomes a billionaire unless they’ve created a business that we know. You can’t just become a billionaire, and we never saw anything that you did. That is public money”
“I want to come in and show that what our governors are failing to do, it can be done. And then our people will know that devolution was the best thing ever that happened to this country,” the senator further said.
