With the political temperatures rising Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria has told off a section of Mt Kenya leaders who are trying to create a bargaining power without consulting the community.
Iria who launched his campaigns said his main target is to reach the grassroot voters who have been passed by a clique that have been holding secret meetings in hotels eager to bargain with those who have declared to run for Presidency next year.
Speaking in Murang’a, the governor in reference to political meetings that took place in Nakuru, Thika among other towns, with a section of Mt Kenya leaders attending said it was premature as the locals have not been involved.
The Usawa Kwa Wote Party leader spoke at the historical General Ihura grounds, saying since independence Mt Kenya region has been producing a candidate eying the presidency.
“ As a second time Governor I know what Wanjiku of Mt Kenya need, yet a section of leaders have been retreating to board room meetings in posh hotels pursuing their selfish interests,” said Iria.
Mt Kenya leaders who accompanied ODM leader Raila Odinga in Nakuru were Governors Annie Mumbi Waiguru and Ndiritu Muriithi of Kirinyaga and Laikipia respectively.
In Thika town, a brigade led by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, included The Service Party leader Mwangi Kiunjuri and Martha Karua of Narc Kenya.
“ There is no secret am going to the ballot through my self made strategy of meeting with the people and I will not be a party to the political brokers who have stage managed to have followers,” said the Governor.
