CS Sicily Kariuki resigns with eye on governor seat

Speaking on Wednesday, Ms Kariuki said she is seeking an elective position in order to bring development to Nyandarua County. 

“This is a position of planning, consulting and of asking the what if questions. When my campaigns kick off, you will know more,” the CS said.

“I'm humbled by the achievements attained in my ministry so far. I am going to take my leadership experience which spans over 30 years to Nyandarua,” she added.

Ms Kariuki said she is seeking to work with like-minded leaders in Nyandarua and the national government in the next phase of her career. 

She did not reveal what political party ticket she is vying on, only saying she's in talks with other leaders. However, she noted that she will be “where President Uhuru Kenyatta will be and I hope it will be Jubilee.”
