Kikuyu elders in Kirinyaga County have publicly rejected efforts to divide the broader Mt Kenya region into separate East and West political blocs. The elders emphasized the importance of maintaining regional unity and cautioned against any attempts that could sow division within the community.
The move to split the region along East-West lines has been a topic of political debate, with some leaders advocating for a reorganization to better represent local interests. However, local elders in Kirinyaga voiced their strong opposition, arguing that such divisions could undermine the region’s unity and collective development.
The elders called for continued solidarity among the communities within Mt Kenya, stressing that the region’s strength lies in its unity and shared history. They urged political leaders to focus on inclusive development and unity rather than regional splits that could potentially polarize the community.
Further discussions on regional political arrangements are expected, but for now, the elders’ stance underscores a desire to preserve the integrity of Mt Kenya as a unified political and cultural entity.
