This middle aged woman in Meru held into Uhuru Kenyatta’s arm hoping that the master of Landlords could sort out one of her many problems, Uhuru seems to be disturbed (in this picture) and taken a back by the unfortunate development.
Meru County is one of the thriving regions in Kenya with minimum squatter problem, though now on the rise. The declining commodity prices have fueled poverty in the larger Meru. The county was once home to a vibrant Coffee, Tea and Milk Co operative Societies.
The region was the bedrock of Kibaki’s presidential politics and was largely perceived to be inherited by Uhuru Kenyatta but his mistreatment of Kiraitu Murungi’s APK- M’bus saw the support flip through his fingers. Meru is a swing vote region that is open to both Raila’s CORD and Uhuru’s Jubilee coalitions.

what did you expect he does? dish out land from the car? be reasonably, you just cant go on dishing out anything just because someone has cried to you, investigating the case to find out the truth was the way to go.he did the right thing, how many would have come from dishing out, that was send.
Thomas Agusa says
It shows how far the Meru can go in not voting for Uhuru!! If the Meru supported Jomo Kenyatta, they faithfully did the same for Matiba, then Mwai Kibaki, why would they do it again for Uhuru as if they are enslaved to some cause that would never reciprocate? Ndiyo kusema hata Kiraitu Murungi hatoshi?

Enough of wishful thinking by my brothers and sisters in cord. Meru is a Jubilee zone, we believe in a Uhuru-led government. We cannot 4get the threats he directed at the community in 2007. We won’t be fooled.
