Tumerudi kwenu watu wa nyumbani na unyenyekevu bila kiburi kuwaomba msamaha kwa yale yaliyotendeka ~Government Spokesperson, Isaac Mwaura

Some leaders if not careful will be like Francis Nyamu Kagwima. Kagwima was Moi pointman in east who was used to divide the mountain votes for his advantage. This thing of dividing the mountain did not come today. He was Tharaka MP from 1988-1997, then from 2002-2007. Moi appointed him the assistant minister of IT immediately after the 1992 elections and made him his Mt Kenya east pointman with instructions to make sure that Mt Kenya is divided into east and west. He surely fallen to the trap and went against the wave. In 1997, he was swept away by the Mt Kenya wave and Cecilio Murango Mwenda was elected as the new Tharaka MP. Let no one cheat you. Mt Kenya can never be divided. Go against Mt Kenya wave at your own peril #elections2027 #wantam
