Devolution cabinet secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has announced that he will not vie for the Governor’s seat in Laikipia County.
This follows a request by president Uhuru Kenyatta urging area residents not to call him up for a political seat. President Uhuru, in his tour of Laikipia last week announced that he still needed the cabinet member in his current and next government.
“Allow me to have Mr Kiunjuri in government for the next five years. He is among my strong political protectors while crisscrossing the country. I will release him in 2022,” said President Kenyatta.
Mr. Kiunjuri has now responded affirmatively. “An order has already been issued and the chapter is closed. I am not vying,” Mwangi Kiunjuri said.
