National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has promised to unite residents and leaders from Mt Kenya following his coronation as the region's spokesman. In his first visit to the region since his coronation, Muturi, who spoke at ACK St Paul’s Cathedral in Embu on Sunday, vowed to unite residents despite some leaders' opposition to his coronation at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga in Murang’a. Some of the leaders from Mt Kenya who have opposed Muturi's coronation as the region's spokesman include Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and her Murang’a counterpart Mwangi wa Iria. “My work remains the one I am given as the speaker of the National Assembly and of course to unite the people and leaders of Mt Kenya following my coronation. I understand different leaders are giving their views on it and I am okay with that because they are expressing their democratic right,” Muturi said.
