One of the unexpected things about meeting Anne Waiguru is that she is funny. An unexpected humour that’s often self-deprecating. It reveals itself like a flash in the pan, and then it’s gone, cloaked in the officiousness of her position as the (second-term) Governor of Kirinyaga County.
It’s a humour that is wedged away in a taciturn resume: former Director of Integrated Financial Management and Information Systems [IFMIS]; Head of Governance, National Treasury; Technical Advisor, Cabinet Secretary; Senior Public Sector Manager/ Vice president, Citigroup; recipient of the Order Of the Grand Warrior. She considers herself more of a technocrat, not a politician.
