Meru leaders urged to embrace Mwangaza as she formally joins UDA party

Meru Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) have been urged to work together with Governor Kawira Mwangaza as she formally joins the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party.

She was received by UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala and Chairperson Cecily Mbarire at the Hustler Center in Nairobi.

Mwangaza stated that she is ready to reconcile with Meru leadership and work with every leader.

“Meru is bigger than all of us. Meru is bigger than any other leader. So it is my prayer that we can work together with every leader,” she said.

Mbarire, who is also the Embu governor, appealed to the Meru leaders to consider reconciliation for the benefit of Meru County.

“I'm urging all politicians, especially the UDA MPs from Meru, and the UDA MCAs of the Meru County assembly, I want to urge them to open the door for dialogue, reconciliation, and healing for this great county of Meru,” she stated.

“We want to ask them to embrace the entry of the governor and they should work together as a team. That's the aspiration of our party leader. Our party leader wants a united Meru. Our party leader wants a solid Meru County government,” said Malala.

“We are stretching an olive branch to the MCAs in Meru County as a party we shall retreat and find a reconciliatory mode in which you shall operate with the governor because now it is time to move on.”

Governor Mwangaza has survived two impeachment attempts after being accused of misappropriating county resources, nepotism, and unethical practices, and usurping her statutory powers among other charges.
