Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria criticized the selection of Kirigiti Stadium for a recent elders’ meeting hosted by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki. Kuria argued the historic site should not be linked to divisive political agendas. The ceremony, held in Kiambu County, saw elders formally endorse Kindiki as the spokesman for the Mt Kenya region. During the event, elders ceremonially handed over symbols of authority, marking a significant political moment. The gathering, described as a solemn assembly, emphasized unity and tradition. Geoffrey Ruku returned a symbolic axe during the proceedings, while Rigathi Gachagua expressed disappointment, calling the decision a loss of political stance. The endorsement comes amid ongoing political dynamics in Kenya, highlighting the influence of traditional leadership in modern governance.
