Wednesday January 9, 2019-Meru Governor, Kiraitu Murungi, has said Jubilee Party risks disintegrating if Mt Kenya leaders led by President Uhuru Kenyatta fail to stem the ongoing rebellion.
Speaking on Wednesday, Kiraitu said Uhuru should sit down with disgruntled Jubilee Party leaders who are causing rebellion.
Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria and Bahati MP, Kimani Ngunjiri are among rebels who are claiming Uhuru has marginalized Mt Kenya region.
But Kiraitu urged the two leaders to respect the President and called for a meeting where all Mt Kenya leaders including the President will meet and deliberate on the way forward.
“Let us sit down as leaders of Mt Kenya region and strategise on how we can mobilise more resources for the development of our counties," Kiraitu said.
"I don't agree with those who say he has neglected the Mt Kenya region. Uhuru is trying his best. He cannot do everything alone." Kiraitu added.
The Harvard University trained governor also said he supports the handshake between Uhuru and opposition leader Raila Odinga towards harmony, peace and developments in the country.
"I support and will support the national dialogue being undertaken by the Building Bridges Initiative seeking a sustainable solution to our perennial cycles of elections violence, political instability, ethnic tensions and strife," he said.
