Laikipia East Member of Parliament Mwangi Kiunjuri has urged Mt. Kenya region to embrace the broad-based government to foster development.
Speaking in Nanyuki during issuance of bursaries, Kiunjuri noted that the broad-based government represented the face of Kenya.
“We hear about the broad-based government; every community is now in government. After the last elections, we were all fighting for nearly a year, but now Kenya is united,” he said.
He pointed out that in the past election, there was political disunity, but after the handshake between former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Party (ODM) leader the country was peaceful, hence the need to embrace broad-based government.
The Service Party leader at the same time lashed out Mt. Kenya politicians, pushing a hostile agenda towards President Dr. William Ruto, noting it will hamper development in the region.
“As Laikipia residents, let us work with the government of the day,” he said.
Additionally, Kiunjuri highlighted that leaders would be judged based on their track record, hence the need to accord area MPs time to foster development for the remaining period.
