Speaker Justin Muturi, Karua, Kabogo hold meeting on Mt. Kenya unity

A group of leaders under the Mount Kenya Unity forum on Wednesday held a meeting to deliberate on several issues among them the region’s unity ahead of the 2022 elections.

Led by National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi and Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua, the forum urged the Mt. Kenya people to remain calm as they strategise on how to consolidate the vote-rich region in the run-up to next year’s polls.

Speaking after the meeting held at a Nairobi hotel, Martha Karua said they plan to hold discussions about regional unity with elected leaders from Mt. Kenya including governors, senators, and MPs.

She added that they plan to interact with residents in every county of the region in a bid to popularize their unity talks.

Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, who was also present at the meeting, said the talks are still at the formative stage assuring that their main goal is to unite the nation.

"Residents in Mount Kenya should stop worrying and asking what we are doing, sisi tuko katika harakati ya kuleta watu pamoja, madhumuni yetu ni kuunganisha taifa la kenya," Kabogo said.

Also in attendance was National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, former MPs Ngung'u  Githinji (Tetu) and Humphrey Njuguna (Gatanga).
