Their visit comes just months after Kihika welcomed her twins in the US.
Her delivery abroad sparked debates with many people wondering why she could not do it in Kenya.
In a quick rejoinder moments after landing back in Kenya, the Nakuru Governor defended her decision to give birth in the US, stating that it would have been inappropriate for her ‘juniors’ to see her naked.
In a video that went viral on social media, Kihika was seen addressing a charged up crowd in her native Kikuyu language during Madaraka Day celebrations at Heroes Technical Vocational College in Bahati Sub-county.
“Women, you know our job (having babies). Just because I am the governor, does it mean I can’t have babies? Also, you know I am the governor. All doctors and nurses are under me. Did you really want me to lay on a table with the same doctors helping me deliver?” she posed.
“Then, when we go for meetings, will the same doctors be looking at me in the same way?” she added, prompting cheers from the crowd. She then promised to build a maternity facility to enable more women to “enjoy services like the ones I did.” Said Kihika.
