Businesswoman, 32, Joins Uhuru Succession Race

A 32-year-old businesswoman has declared interest in being Kenya’s 5th president.

Dorothy Kemunto Nyangori says she is the voice of reason that Kenya urgently needs to attain double-digit economic growth.

Kemunto, who holds a Master’s degree in Procurement and Logistics from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, pledges to end corruption by encouraging the youth to adhere to the rule of law and strengthen anti-corruption watchdogs.

“As a businesswoman, I have the grip of the connection between the rule of law and a sustainable economy,” she says as quoted by The Nation.

“I intend to bring this country to order so that everyone respects the rule of law. That is the road to a prosperous country and better life for every Kenyan.”

Kemunto has harbored presidential ambitions since 2017. She reckons it’s time for a youthful head of State.

“Let Kenyans have a shift of mind and elect fresh leaders. We don’t have to recycle leaders over and over again,” she said.

Kemunto is still scouting for a political party; she describes herself as a President-to-be who will play her ‘vocational role” by listening more to her people and leading them out of misery and hopelessness.
