Via #theSTD In a letter to Transition Authority chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi, Attorney General Githu Muigai further says that governors’ spouses should neither be allocated county offices nor be entitled to a budgetary provision for their outreach activities. The AG argues that although it is a good idea for governors’ wives to engage in social and charitable causes to better the well-being of communities in their counties, money to fund such activities should not be drawn from public coffers. “Spouses of governors are indeed high profile individuals who can direct public awareness towards a particular cause or campaign,” Prof Githu noted. Governors’ spouses, he says, should harness private and civic philanthropy resources to undertake informal functions, contrary to their present public engagements.
