The race to replace Hon Beatrice Adagala as Vihiga county woman Mp is gaining ground.

Several aspirants have declared their interests. One such aspirant is Madam Winnie Majani fondly called Madam president due to her role in taking part in a reality TV show.

She spoke exclusively to www.goodmorningkenya.com.

Good morning Kenya: Tell us who is Winnie Majani and why do you want to represent the people of Vihiga.

Winnie Majani: Thank you, Winnie Majani is a young woman, a mother, a wife and a bove all, a daughter of the most high with a passion to serve humanity and especially my good people of Vihiga county in the position of Woman representative.

Good morning Kenya: Vihiga county is the home of the ANC boss and the party is perceived to be calling shots in Vihiga, could you tell us about your vehicle of choice?

Winnie Majani: Well, Iam a very staunch supporter of my party leader Hon Musalia Mudavadi. I also enjoy an excellent relationship with Hon Mudavadi who I look forward to not only as a political leader but also as a mentor and the most qualified person for the top seat in 2022. It therefore means I will be fighting for the ANC ticket.

Good morningKenya: Hon Adagala the current MP is perceived as a close confidant of Hon Mudavadi, do you think this will hinder your march? And what is your take on her leadership?

Winnie Majani: Hon. Beatrice Adagala is a lady I have worked with closely and I can give her 100% when it comes to following my Party Leader everywhere, anyhow. That is an ‘admirable’ trait because not many people do that. Excellent Madam. Excellent. It is however something to make her worried because that is no brand. Some of us who believe in HE Musalia Mudavadi don’t have to be following him all over yet we do so much in the background. What actually annoys me is the status of Vihiga County as far as her mandate is concerned. Not so long ago I warned her against giving out plastic chairs and tents to our dignified Mamas in the village at the 11th hour, and when so many years have gone to waste thus retrogression. That is not what we sent her to do in the National Assembly. And that is why I have dared to replace her.

Good morning Kenya: A woman rep seat is viewed as less colourful and more of a ceremonial seat, a flowergirl so to speak what is your take?

Winnie Majani: By the way, some people should stop generalizing the way a Woman Representative in Kenya is a complacent human being. That she is a flower girl and etc. We have very able women leaders who heavily deliver in their respective counties. We see them enhance energy solutions amongst rural communities ie affordable gas and easily available “Kuni”. We see them augment capacity for youth(both boys and girls) under various programmes. We see them tap the potential of the disabled and always ensuring that disability is amplified for not being inability. We see those particular Women Representatives speak before the house and objectively so. We see them cement the economic aspect of Women Groups and CBOs. All because of their hunger to see their electorate being served justice. A woman Representative in Kenya has a critical role in social, economic and political aspects of the county(country at large).

Good morning Kenya: You have been seen traversing the vast Vihiga county, you have actually toured all the 5 sub counties and all the 25 wards and 85 locations. What are you plotting?

Winnie Majani: 2022 is that year (if God allows) that we are going to say NO to the mediocrity and lack of finesse that Beatrice Adagala has splashed our way. Thankfully, her record or lack of it thereof has spoken for itself. We are supporting HE Musalia Mudavadi and we sincerely want the best for him because he’s indeed THE BEST. Supporting ANC doesn’t mean pulling simplistic stunts and wearing an obnoxious attitude. The electorate sent you to BUNGE to legislate properly, do oversight and amicably represent the people of Vihiga.

Good morning Kenya: Thank you for having time to speak to us, what is your parting short?

Winnie Majani: Thank you www.goodmorningKenya for having me. My parting shot goes directly to the great people of Vihiga county, 2022 presents yet another chance for us to review our choices. The role of a woman Mp is legislation, oversight and representation. Iam that woman who will perfectly do the job for all under the banner of Usawa Mashinani

A vote for Winnie Majani is a vote to make Vihiga better and greater.

Less than 11 months. Thankfully.
