At a meeting in Nyahururu, Laikipia County, the 48 MPs said that after consultations they had agreed on the need for a link that would create a nexus with the executive on development issues.
“We, as the elected leaders from this region and its Diaspora on our own behalf and that of our people, unanimously resolve that our link to the National Government be the Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and National Administration Prof. Kithure Kindiki, whose responsibilities include the coordination of National Government functions across Country,” the MPs said in a statement.
The MPs noted that efforts to consolidate the development needs of the people they represent have been frustrated by the lack of a focal point to which they can channel the interests and priorities of Mt Kenya residents.

Micheal Muchira (MP, Oljororok), Faith Gitau (MP, Nyandarua), Joseph Gitari (MP, Kirinyaga Central), Kimani Ichung’wah (MP, Kikuyu), Alice Ng’ang’a (MP, Thika Town), Mburu Kahangara (MP, Lari), John Kiragu (MP, Limuru), Githua Wamacukuru (MP, Kabete), and John Wanjiku (MP, Kiambaa) were also in the meeting.
