Former Coast political supremo Katana Ngala's grandson has been installed as chairman of a political party in Kilifi county in readiness for the 2022 polls. The Roots Party of Kenya on Wednesday installed Ronald Gideon Kahidi Ngala as the face of the party in the Coast region as the outfit gears up for the General Election next year. The young Ngala is the son of long serving politician and minister Noah Katana Ngala who currently serves as the chairman of the Kenya National Libraries. He said leading the Roots Party from the Coast region would give him a better platform to champion sending more resources and power to the grassroots "as part of honouring the vision of my grandfather." Part of his vision, Ngala said, is to reach out to the youth in the region and develop empowerment initiatives to help alleviate poverty and desperation.
