Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has demanded an apology from Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale over remarks perceived as ethnic profiling, deeming them "deeply regrettable" and dangerous.

• Waiguru stated that reducing political challenges to tribal prejudice risks undermining national unity ahead of the 2027 General Election.
• The demand follows comments made by Duale in Mandera County, which critics interpreted as targeting the Kikuyu community.
• Waiguru emphasized that the Kikuyu community has strongly supported the Kenya Kwanza administration and called for responsible rhetoric from leaders.
