A women’s Christian group has said it will not support the political aspirations of a presidential aspirant and female assistant minister.
Christian Women of Kenya said Martha Karua and Housing Assistant Minister Margaret Wanjiru may not get their support if they fail to meet the organization’ principles of leadership.
Vice chairperson Judy Mbugua said they will not support political aspirants who fail to voice godliness in the nation moments after the two presided over the launch of the organization.
“We encourage women to go into politics; if they meet the standards we want, we will support them. The principles of the Christian women of Kenya must first be met,” Ms Mbugua told the Sunday Nation.
Ms Mbugua also said that any politician seeking their support will first be vetted to ensure they reach the organizations and church standards of good leadership.
According to the vice chairperson, aspirants must Be Godly; God fearing, they must love the people of Kenya and must uphold ethical value in all they do.
“Women empowerment must been seen in the aspirant as well as the ability to advocate for people’s rights. I cannot judge right now if there is any politician that has met the principles,” Ms Mbugua added.
The Christian Women said that they are looking for lawyers to explain the constitution to women; so that they know their importance in the country as voters and leaders..
“As women there is something we can do. We can vote. We are using this organization to restore our country,” Ms Mbugua said.
Ms Mbugua added that there is need to educate women in order to avoid foolish voting, bribery and bad leadership in the country that has characterized itself in the past.
“All the people came as Christians; this is not a political campaign platform. We are going to visit 47 counties in the next one year to spread peace and voice godliness to the nation,” MS Mbugua concluded.
