“We have drawn a wish list as the President will be coming here. All aspiring, former and sitting leaders are here and we vowed to uphold peace before and after Mashujaa Day,” the PS stated.
Waiguru noted that the meeting was highly productive, adding that it was refreshing to join fellow Kirinyaga leaders and business community in a discussion centered on development.
She reiterated that matters affecting Kirinyaga residents were the main focus during the meeting.
On her part, Ngirici voiced the importance of having unity among leaders despite their differences.
