• The Nakuru governor has revealed that the senator is currently receiving treatment in London, but she does not bear any grudges towards her

Is Tabitha Karanja hospitalised?

The senator had put Kihika on the spot for giving birth in the US, claiming that a Nakuru woman had given birth on the road.

Kihika had taken maternity leave and travelled abroad, a move that left many bashing her.

Tabitha had called on the senate to create a law barring government officials from seeking treatment abroad.

Kihika, during an interview with Kogi's Corner, alleged that her senator is currently in London seeking treatment.

The county boss wished her a quick recovery.

She said:

"I am a very truthful person so I will not seat here and tell you that we work well together. Yes I am the one who brought her where she is, I held her hand. I don't know where we fell out. I have never seen a woman who gets angry because of children. It is very un-African, I dont know what is her problem. However, I want to take this chance to wish her a quick recovery because I know she is in hospital in London."

Kihika stated that it was not right to kick someone when they were down and reminded Tabitha that kids were blessings.

"Even if you don't agree with someone, I know that you are not supposed to kick them when they are down. I would like the senator to know that kids are a blessing from God and there will never come a time that because we are leaders, we will not have kids. We are expected to have kids, have families are still be leaders. I have no problem with her, she just needs to keep to her lane, do her work as I also do the same," she said.

The governor hinted that the senator's fights against her were political.

"I know what she wants come 2027, but if you ask me, she is going about it the wrong way. She is going about it a bit personally and so if I can advise her, I'd say if she has done the work and people can see that, whatever you want, they will give you. It is not a must you become personal, start lying, incite propaganda, tarnish people names and involve innocent kids because it doesn't go very far. I wish her all the best and pray that she recovers," she added.
