Mt Kenya Council of Elders has asked Deputy President Dr William Ruto to pick Agriculture cabinet secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri as his running mate ahead of 2022 President Uhuru Kenyatta succession battle.
The council through its chairman Paul Mwati said Kiunjuri has all it takes to be the running mate of Ruto.
“Kiunjuri is no doubt a career and seasoned politician who joined active politics in 1997 as a MP for Laikipia East at a tender age of 30 years and for all these years, he has made a name on Kenya’s political landscape as a fearless and candid speaking political leader,” noted Mt Kenya Council of Elders boss, Mwati.
He advised Uhuru Kenyatta to begin grooming a spokesman for Mt Kenya communities and in this case, Kiunjuri is the first among equals because in terms of leadership and experience, he is shoulder and head above many other politicians in the region.
Mwati added that if the president fails to pick a spokesman for the communities in Mt Kenya region at the right time, there is a likelihood he might leave them as political orphanage upon his retirement after the 2022 transitional election cycle.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
