The governor has been invisible for many months, thus raising concerns from residents of his county and Kenyans in general.
He has been in America for a long time.
How Kihika answered about her invisibility
At the peak of his feelings about his in January this year, Kihika explained that he had taken a vacation and left the county in the hands of his deputy, David Kones.
It later emerged that the county boss was in the United States for the delivery phase.
Despite the county chief's description, his opponents continued their difficult questions, while others initiated the process of dismissing him on the basis of escaping from work.
However, the female MPs, under the umbrella of the Kenyan Women's Parliamentary Association (Kewopa), defending the governor, argued that the attack on him was not fundamental considering that his US residence was not self -reliant.
What does Kihika do in the United States?
In their newspaper in Nairobi, they revealed that the governor was recovering after giving birth to twins, thus requiring more time out of work after having health problems following the delivery process.
“We stand here together in solidarity with Governor Susan Kihika, a dedicated public servant and a mother who has recently welcomed the twins to the world. We congratulate her on the birth of her children. It is a blessing from God and we give thanks,” Said the designated Senator Tabitha Mutinda.
The MPs complained that the country did not appreciate the challenges that women in leadership face when balancing their responsibilities and reproduction.
They said parenting and postnatal experience are a difficult fact for female leaders, the challenges they have to endure even when they fulfill the requirements of their leadership responsibilities.
“First of all, we would like to remind the public that reproduction is a natural and unique and comprehensive process. As women leaders, we recognize the unique challenges posed by balancing public service and family accountability. The maternity journey is one of the greatest happiness, but it can also come up with unexpected medical issues. About the time of recovery and recovery, many Hinda governors have added that there is no difference,” Said Muticuli.
The angry MPs wondered why there was a noise about the absence of the county in the county, but it was publicly where the county's chief executive officer began his maternity leave.

They added that the deputy governor was carrying out his duties without a seam even in the absence of his boss.
The MPs called on Kenyans to allow Kihika's chance to recover and also be patient about his return, which they said would happen at the right time.
“We urge the residents of Nakuru and the nation as a whole to be patient.
We all have to reject obsolete ideas about women's issues. Let us focus on something very important, namely service, governance and leadership. Not a woman's personal decision to have a baby or not to have a child, ” They said together.
Why did the Nakuru resident send a letter to President Donald Trump
Kewopa's writer came after a Nakuru politician wrote a letter to the US president Donald Trump He wants Kihika to be deported in the country.
Evans Kimori claimed that the governor had passed a 90 -day maternity leave for public officials for two months, explaining that it had led to a statement in the county's leadership.
He concluded that the governor's absence outside the county is the same as not fulfilling his duty, while receiving his monthly salary.
