Murang’a governor Mwangi wa Iria’s Usawa Kwa Wote party targets more than six million members in its recruitment drive ahead of the next general election. Wa Iria on Saturday said they seek to unite the vote-rich Mt Kenya region, which has of late been fragmented politically, and ensure it continues voting as a bloc. Usawa Kwa Wote's party symbol is a cow, an indication that Wa Iria puts a premium on the dairy projects he initiated for Murang'a residents in an effort to fight poverty. A cow provides milk, manure for farming and eventually beef,” Wa Iria said. He was addressing farmers at Mukuyu shopping centre near Murang’a town where more than 10 residents went home with calves.
