Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza’s husband Murega Baichu has criticized those questioning his presence in meetings chaired by his wife.
Mr. Baichu noted that he has a right to attend meetings held by the Meru Governor just like any Kenyan.
“Just like the media attends government meetings…why are you here? Let us say some visitors have come to see the governor…for example we had a meeting the other day… they came to bring equipment for our hospitals and to help our community. Why shouldn’t I be there?” He posed.
“The government is me and you… just like every one of us has an opportunity to attend the governor’s meeting, even me, Murega Baichu, I have a right to attend that meeting,” he added.

In addition, controversies arose last week, after Governor Mwangaza announced that he had appointed Baichu as the Meru Youth Service patron and hustlers’ ambassador.
“This office will not have a salary; neither will it have allowances. The first gentleman of the county will hold this office,” Governor Kawira announced.
Nevertheless, Baichu welcomed his appointment, adding that some of his priorities will be to build a music studio and ICT hub to benefit Meru youths.
