- Pauline says she’s not sorry for her choices and won’t be boxed into political camps.
- She backs Matiang’i for 2027 and explains why she stepped away from the current government.
- Her political stand, she insists, is guided by values, not tribes or personalities.
- Meeting leaders across the divide doesn’t mean she has switched sides.
Pauline Njoroge has come out firmly after facing online fire over a photo of her alongside Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. To those calling her a sellout, she had one message: I answer to my conscience, not public noise.
In a detailed post shared Monday, the Jubilee-affiliated digital strategist said her political choices have always been about values, not loyalty to individual leaders. She reminded her followers that she had backed Raila Odinga in 2022 because she believed in his leadership, not for personal gain.
Pauline explained that her support for Raila came from a long-standing belief in his pan-African vision. She said she had pushed for his African Union Commission bid years before she joined his inner circle.
Although she briefly worked with the current administration, Pauline revealed that what she witnessed behind the scenes led her to walk away. She pointed to governance failures and ethical concerns, saying she couldn’t keep quiet or pretend everything was fine.
Looking ahead, she made her stand clear: she’s backing former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i for the presidency in 2027. In her view, he’s a steady hand who can bring more serious leadership than what’s on offer now.
Pauline also addressed why she’s still meeting different leaders, including some in government. She said this doesn’t mean she’s shifted alliances—it’s just part of engaging across the board for the sake of the country.
“I follow my heart,” she wrote. “That’s what guides me, not tribes or fan bases.” For her, democracy means having the space to choose, speak, and shift, not blindly follow.
