Karua Recalls ‘Baba’s’ Advice on Political Alliances
Nairobi, Kenya – On October 3, PLP leader Martha Karua reminisced about the guidance she received from her late father, Mwalimu Jackson Karua, regarding political alliances. Her father, whom she referred to as her number one supporter, cautioned her that not everyone she found amusing should be regarded as a friend. "Baba was my number-one supporter, and on the day he passed away, he left me with some advice," Karua said.
He cautioned, "In politics, we should be careful because not everyone who makes you laugh is a friend." Karua urged the opposition political actors to heed his words as they navigate alliances and competition leading up to the 2027 General Election. She emphasized the importance of recognizing that women are also integral to the political landscape.
Karua reminded male politicians, "Let me remind these men, my fellow men and friends, not to think that they are the only ones in the political arena. They should know that, in this Kenyan political contest, the woman is in the kitchen today."
