Several political leaders from the Mt Kenya region are expected in Laikipia today for the burial of Mzee Stephen Kamunya Njoroge, father of former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga. Early Wednesday, Njenga, accompanied by politician James Wanjohi and lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, departed Nairobi’s Wilson Airport for Laikipia ahead of the burial. The trio is among several leaders and associates expected to attend the ceremony, which organisers have said will be conducted in a peaceful and dignified manner. The funeral has attracted interest beyond the family due to Njenga’s ongoing engagement with leaders from the Mt Kenya region. Wanjohi also urged Mt Kenya leaders and residents to remain united and speak with a common voice.
