Kenya's Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has finally exchanged her vows with the love of her life Kamotho Waiganjo.
In a colorful ceremony held at the Kiamugumo Primary School.
The wedding was climaxed with the cutting of the shoulder.
In Kikuyu tradition, this 'cutting of the shoulder', is the central point in the entire ceremony. It is the right 'arm' of a roast goat which the groom cuts while the bride holds. When the groom is done, the bride continues holding on to the piece on her hand and the man cuts a piece and feeds her then feeds himself. Thousands of invited guests among them President Uhuru Kenyatta Opposition leader Raila Odinga are witnessing the event.
At least 30 Members of Parliament, Cabinet and principal secretaries and woman representatives Florence Mutua (Busia), Gladys Wanga (Homa Bay) and Sabina Chege (Murang'a) were also present. Others include Interior PS Karanja Kibicho, Transport CS James Macharia, Narok Senator Ledama ole Kina, Siaya's James Orengo, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Public Service Chief Administrative Secretary Rachel Shebesh, Nairobi politician Beatrice Elachi, and Gender Commission member Priscilla Nyokabi. This comes after a private dowry ceremony was held in February. Today's much-hyped traditional wedding well known as Ngurario. Waiganjo served in constitution implementation commission. Waiganjo paid the bride price for Waiguru in Kiamungo village, Kirinyaga on February 16. He was married to a Nairobi-based publishing consultant and journalist Lorna Seneiya with whom he had three children. Waiganjo has represented Waiguru in several court cases, including an election petition that challenged her victory at the last election. It was filed by Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua. Frequent representation of her in court aroused speculations that the two had a love affair.They, however, dismissed that, saying their relationship started 10 years down the line in a ferry as they were travelling to a constitutional conference in Mombasa. The two then had their first date at Thai Restaurant in Nairobi, leading to the current relationship. Waiganjo is from Murang'a. Waiguru warned that her marriage to Waiganjo should not be politicised. He hinted that some people had started interfering in her private life with politics
