Muturi calls for political parties in Mt Kenya to merge
By Correspondent
Presidential aspirant Justin
Muturi (pictured) wants Mt Kenya region to join one political party.
Muturi who is also the National
Assembly Speaker says parties in the larger Mt Kenya region should form one
party to increase the region’s bargaining power ahead of the August 9 polls.
In a series of tweets on
Thursday after meeting opinion leaders in Lari, Kiambu County, Muturi said the
region’s political interests were better protected under one outfit.
“I have no business in fighting
other Mt Kenya region parties, let's channel through one voice, one party. Our
interest is better protected by ourselves,” he said.
The Speaker who is eyeing the
presidency under the Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) ticket, urged the
region to take a cue from other regions which have strong parties to push
for their interests at the national level.
