Published on November 27, 2019, a group of Mt Kenya leaders have advised Uhuru Kenyatta and his handlers to stop wasting their time trying to tame William Ruto's political wave sweeping across the region and beyond.
Addressing an impromptu meeting in Nyeri town, the leaders, including Mt Kenya Council of Elders chairman Paul Mwati, Tetu MP Gichuhi Mwangi, former Kamakwa ward councillor John Kanja, and former nominated civic leader Muthoni Wanjau, downplayed the recent Sagana State Lodge meeting called by Uhuru as a desperate effort to subdue his deputy's increasing support in the region ahead of the 2022 transitional general elections.
According to Muthoni Wanjau, 'What kind of statesman is unable to come out with a clear succession plan?'
Paul Mwati added, 'Just like a jet, Ruto's wave in Gema political landscape has reached cruising height while Uhuru, Raila Odinga, and their handlers are still packed in the apron not even in the political runway.'
Tetu MP Gichuhi Mwangi wondered how a whole president could treat leaders like lower primary school pupils at the Sagana State Lodge meeting.
