The Njuri Ncheke elders have vowed to defend the embattled Meru governor, Kawira Mwangaza, holding a dialogue in her dispute with ward representatives.
Led by their secretary general, the elders said they will stand with the governor as they work hand in hand with the current county government.
The Njuri Ncheke sec-gen, Josphat Murangiri speaking to media people in Meru town, urged Ms. Mwangaza to take control of county affairs and end the tussle with MCAs.
“Njuri Ncheke does not take sides for any incentive. Njuri Ncheke is incorruptible. We will support Ms. Mwangaza to deliver on her mandate. This is why we have called for an urgent resolution of the conflict,”
“We are not happy with how our leaders are fighting. They should know that the campaigns ended. It is time to work for the people. Everyone should accept that Ms. Mwangaza is the people’s choice,” Mr. Murangiri said.
Mbaya Muthamia, the Njuri Ncheke secretary-general for programmes, said the governor had promised to meet assembly leaders.
“We have urged the governor to calm down and embrace all. All leaders should have compromises so that they can work together,” he said.
The elders had on Thursday met Governor Mwangaza, it being the first time to meet the governor after they issued an apology for not backing her in the last elections.
