Published on November 21, 2019, a section of Mt Kenya MPs who felt their concerns were not adequately presented at the Sagana forum are planning a meeting to re-strategise regional politics.
The MPs, most of whom are allied to Deputy President William Ruto, have vowed to counter the Sagana forum's outcomes in the coming days.
South Imenti MP Kathuri Murungi, a member of the Mt Kenya MPs caucus, has proposed the meeting to conduct a postmortem of the Sagana forum and review the problems facing Mt Kenya ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta's planned tour of the region.
Mr. Murungi said, 'It's 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.'
Already, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has rubbished the Sagana States Lodge meeting, claiming it was designed to cut to size some elected leaders and perpetuate a certain narrative to the leaders.
Mr. Kuria further accused close allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta of minding only their welfare, saying the meeting created more division in the region.
Those contented with the Sagana meeting have laughed off efforts to arrange another gathering, accusing the leaders of arrogance and pride.
