Monday, May 13, 2024 - Narc Kenya chairperson Martha Karua has invited former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for a conference in Limuru dubbed Limuru III conference aimed at addressing issues affecting Mt Kenya residents.
The conference is organized by Karua, former Ndaragwa Member of
Parliament Jeremiah Kioni, and former Laikipia County Governor Nderitu
Muriithi.
Speaking after a closed-door
meeting at a hotel in Ruaka, Kiambu county, Muriithi said the meeting is open
for every person to discuss matters ranging from agriculture, economy, and
politics.
"Mt Kenya region has an
economy bigger than 33 African states and as a region, we have decided to come
together to chart a way forward," Ndiritu said.
He said the meeting has no
invitation and is an open meeting for Mt Kenya people at Limuru Jumuiya
conference centre so that everybody can have a say on different matters that
will be discussed.
"We are the ones who will
bring ourselves to the meeting. This is not a political meeting or rally where
people are mobilised with money. People should not have any idea that they will
be paid as no one will pay them. This meeting has no financiers or bigger
people than the other. We will all be equal in deliberations," he said.
He said the region has lagged
behind in terms of economy with increased unemployment and untapped resources,
adding that the region can only liberate itself through unity.
"Other regions have come
together and deliberated on their matters. There is nothing wrong with Mt Kenya
region coming together to discuss their own matters," he said.
