Married Life is Great - Anne Waiguru
The governor revealed that they decided to formalize their close to 12-year relationship for political reasons.
"We have been together for a very long time, so it is not really a new thing. The only new thing is that we formalised it, mostly because of politics, in the sense that, you know, people like to misconstrue something that is not formalised. They can start coming up with funny stories. Otherwise, there is really nothing that has changed. We have an interesting life," she stated.
