Published on November 21, 2019, a section of Mt Kenya MPs who dismissed last Friday's Sagana forum as a flop are planning a meeting to re-strategise regional politics.
The MPs, most of them allied to Deputy President William Ruto, feel their concerns were not adequately presented in Kirinyaga and have vowed to counter the same in the coming days.
South Imenti MP Kathuri Murungi, who is a member of the Mt Kenya MPs caucus, is among those who have proposed the meeting. Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has also endorsed the proposal.
According to Mr Murungi, the meeting is of great importance to conduct a postmortem of the Sagana's meeting and to review the problems facing Mt Kenya ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta's planned tour of the region.
"I proposed to have the meeting because it is always good for leaders to have a postmortem of a meeting with the President and to team up with the elected leaders to discuss the region's problems on tea, milk, coffee and other agricultural products," Mr Murungi told the Nation on phone.
Mr Kuria has rubbished the Sagana States Lodge meeting claiming its only mandate was to cut to size some elected leaders and that the organisers had planned to perpetuate a certain narrative to the leaders.
"Some people are like the night bird which closes its eyes and ears and start singing and the only thing it can hear in the forest is its own voice, that's the design of the meeting," he said.
