She endorsed the DP's bottom-up economic model even as she expressed commitment to working with the second in command ahead of the August 9, elections.
"I was elected in 2017 through a Jubilee ticket. I have diligently served my people and avoided politics for the last 4 years. God has been good to me. It's 2022, time to seek to renew the mandate.
"I shall do seek to fly the UDA party ticket in Gilgil. So help me God. Thanks, H.E The Deputy President for receiving and welcoming me. Karibu Gilgil, Munanda kesho. Form ni Hustler Nation. Mpango ni Bottom Up," she said.
The MP becomes the latest to join the camp. She was preceded by Molo MP Kuria Kimani who was welcomed to the cam on Sunday.
Another MP who later joined the camp is Starehe MP Charles Njagua, popularly known as Jaguar.
