Former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has accused her successor of dismal performance since taking office for six months.
Mwangaza spoke on Sunday during the Okolea program in Kamunde studium Igoji,South Imenti constituency.
Mwangaza accused the current administration led by Governor Isaac Mutuma of failing to deliver despite mudslinging her and taking the seat through ‘backdoor’.
“This is the sixth month since Mutuma assumed office, and there is nothing tangible to show,” Mwangaza stated.
She said she would no longer remain silent about she termed as failed leadership in the county.
Mwangaza also used the opportunity to promote her new political vehicle, the United Movement Party (UMP), assuring Meru residents she is working to register supporters across the country.
During the event, which focused on community empowerment, Mwangaza gifted a cow to a needy woman as part of the Okolea initiative.
Her husband Murega Baichu threatened they might join Rigathi Gachagua if Mwangaza is not reinstated as Meru county boss or given another a meaningful state job within 45 days.
Several political figures were present, including Nkirote Biriri, who has declared her interest in vying for the Meru Women Representative seat in the 2027 general elections.
Biriri told attendees that she would be on the ballot in 2027, stating that she believes in equal opportunity and that the position should not be held by the same person for two consecutive terms.
Lawyer Mugambi Imanyara who is vying for senator said he has been approached by individuals trying to persuade him to leave Mwangaza’s camp but he declined.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to her, saying he would not be swayed.
Politician and opinion leader Michael Mutembei popularly known as Makarina also weighed in, accusing Governor Mutuma of taking over the governorship “through the back door.”
He called on President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure kindiki to consider reinstating Mwangaza to her former position, claiming that she was unjustly removed and was committed to serving the people of Meru.
