Former Murang’a governor Mwangi Wa Iria has vowed to reclaim the glory of Mt Kenya politics which he says is lost.
The Ex-governor says he will fight for his ‘rightful’ position in Mt Kenya politics
Wa Iria claims there are deliberate efforts to edge him out.
He says he wants to become the regional kingpin and defend the rights of the people claiming that the leaders in the area have already developed cold feet.
“I am out to revive the political glory of the region because our identity as the community is crashing and soon we might not be heard,” he said.
At the same time,the former governor says a report implicating his wife in a graft case is just a ploy to distract him from the course.
“I saw reports circulating in all media platforms that my wife has been implicated in graft and I feel I am the one being targeted,” Wa Iria said.
“They should leave my wife out of this dirty game, if they want they can take the parcel of land which they claim she bought with graft money,” he added.

He also claimed there was a plot to cut to size any potential leader from the region to ensure they have no voice even when things go wrong.
Further, he said the leaders in the area folded up their parties which was a big mistake.
“Few leaders here who had their own parties folded them up and now they don’t have a platform to speak out on matters in the region,” Wa Iria added.
Going forward, Wa Iria says he will make a comeback in politics using his Usawa Kwa Wote party to launch a revolution in the region to address the issues affecting the residents.
“We shall have a huge movement in the area starting January next year, and we will be addressing the interests of the region,” he added.
Wa Iria said no amount of intimidation will make him give in adding that he is ready to face off with anyone fighting him.
“I know these people but I won’t mention their names now they should brace themselves for the fight,” he remarked.
“I would urge the president not to interfere with the Mt.Kenya politics he should let us handle our issues” Wa Iria added.
