Meet the Kariara Voters' Choice Hon Warui George Kiguru: Who is he and Why is he Vying for the Ward MCA Seat?

Hon George Warui Kiguru has thrown his hat into the ring and is now 2022 candidate for MCA seat in Kariara Ward, Murang'a County.

George Warui Kiguru is a family man married to a beautiful wife with whom they've got three lovely school-going kids, a career accountant with a strong background in banking and insurance industries, and a philanthropist engaged in various community activities within Kariara Ward.

Warui was born fifth - in the family of George Kiguru Thuo of 'Mbari ya Thuo' belonging to the Agaciku Clan - at Mbugiti Location in Kariara Ward where he grew up and attended school. 

He went to the neighbouring Mbugiti Primary School, then Thika High School and finally Mbugiti High School, before proceeding to KCA University where he studied accounting.

In 2017, Warui's life would, however, take what he terms as a 'major turning point' following the sudden and saddening demise of his dear mother which consequently saw him assume the responsibility of caring for his elderly dad and a brother living with disability. 

He dutifully continues with this noble initiative to this date with the help of his other equally caring siblings.

The huge setback five years ago, aside, and which saw the incoming Kariara MCA take a fore role in his family's management, Warui's leadership traits were unmistakably identifiable earlier on in his life while still in school.
