A section of Mount Kenya leaders have come out strongly to stand with former president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Led by KARIUKI kiruga they said

“We are saddened by a section of politicians who have been showing sheer disrespect for our former president Uhuru Kenyatta. It’s utter disrespect to call for Uhuru Kenyatta to be arrested the way Ndindi Nyoro, Kimani Ichungwa and the rest. These are the leaders orchestrating disunity in the region instead of uniting the region.

We lost a leader who was caring and had a vision for this country especially through the one man, one vote one shilling.

Mike Makarina noted

“I’m urging Mount Kenya people to stand in solidarity and defend one of their own. Why are we being told to insult our kingpin whilst other communities heap loads of respect for their leaders. We are urging his excellency the President to embrace dialogue in a bid to save our country from chaos and disorder.

Makarina also decried taxing the persons with disabilities. He also decried lack of inclusion in the list of Cabinet administrative secretaries.
