2026 - Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba
Murkomen’s wife, Gladys Wanjiru, stole the spotlight at the launch of the
Cherangany Hills Ecosystem Restoration for Livelihood Improvement,
Sustainability and Harmony (CHERISH) initiative when she shared a personal
story about Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
Speaking before hundreds at the event, Gladys recalled her
days as a student under Kindiki’s guidance.
“Today I had to speak, Mr Deputy President. So many people here do
not know that we were in the same class.”
“You taught us international human rights. And now you must see
what your students are doing,” she said warmly.
She revealed that Kindiki not only taught her but also
supervised her dissertation, praising his unmatched work ethic.
“I used to give you my dissertation around 6 pm so that I could
rest, and I would find out that you were in the office in the evening, checking
it, making changes, and bringing it back already marked.”
“Then I would tell myself that tomorrow I have another task,”
she recalled.
Gladys credited the Deputy President with inspiring her to
pursue her master’s degree in South Africa, noting that his mentorship left a
lasting impact.
