    I wish Kimenchu was telling us that she won the two elections she viewed for in Nairobi campus!

For her to stand is a good move; but she cannot start climbing a tree at the top! She is still young, she could have started maybe with a county representative and prove herself worthy of leadership! She must remember Obama served in the senate first, she cannot just come from the bush and want to lead the country!
