Governor Anne Waiguru has asked National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi to reach out to the voters and seek support than bank on ‘insignificant oath’. “Ultimately Speaker Muturi and others seeking votes from Mt Kenya and elsewhere will have to go to the ground and seek votes from the only legitimate determinants of leadership, the people,” Waiguru said in statement on Friday. Murang’a council of elders’ secretary-general Samuel Ruru Ng'anga recently said elders from the greater Mt Kenya were in agreement that the speaker be elevated to the post. “Yes, we have the President but we are making Muturi the spokesman of the region. Ruru said his counterparts from Mt Kenya counties agreed after ‘extensive consultations that have lasted months’ that Muturi should take up the role of spokesman.
