One candidate, in particular, Mwende Gatabaki, stood out over her eloquence and affirmative answers during the entire session. Minutes after the debate, Mwende Gatabaki trended for the better part of the night and into the wee hours of Monday morning, June 27. A particular quote elicited debate online as Gatabaki pointed out that it was time for Kiambu county to inject fresh blood into governance. She is the daughter of Senior Chief Peter Gatabaki of Thakwa who is also a former Githunguri member of parliament. Her political fame began in December 2017 when she sent a request to President Kenyatta seeking the release of her husband, who at the time was in police custody.
