“After a deep reflection, heartfelt prayer and countless consultations with the people I serve, I have made one of the most difficult decisions of my political life.
“From today, Aisha Jumwa Katana is no longer a member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA),” she announced.
The former CS alleged that she had undergone insurmountable humiliation despite supporting the Head of State, whom she accused of failing to stand up for her.
Jumwa claimed that when President Ruto was hosting a delegation of leaders from the Coast Region at State House, she was denied entry.
The former Gender CS added that she tried to reach out to the President, who allegedly ignored her.
“Ruto, I loved you and campaigned for you on my own, before those who are now persuading you to betray me. You are the President, yet I don’t have a job even as a sweeper in your government.
“In case you don’t know, I have been chased away from State House. You have humiliated me enough,” Jumwa added.
