The leaders have been asked to show up at Gachagua's residence in Karen.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has summoned the elected leaders from Kiambu County for a meeting.

The leaders will meet Gachagua at his Karen office on Monday, November 6.

The leader of the majority in the National Assembly, who is also Kikuyu MP, Kimani Ichung'wah, revealed that the meeting would be centred on the matters pertinent to the county, including the wrangles that have lately characterised the county government under Governor Kimani Wamatangi.

"The deputy president has called us as the leadership of Kiambu county for a meeting in his official residence. We cannot stand here and pretend not to have problems in Kiambu. As leaders, the best we can do is to pray to God to give us the wisdom and fortitude to be able to confront all our challenges truthfully with respect to each other," said Ichung'wah.

The lawmaker said the meeting would be driven by the greater good of the Kiambu constituents.

He called on his colleagues to shelve their supposed egos and put heads together for the benefit of the people.

Ichung'wah spoke at St James Cathedral in Kiambu where he had accompanied the deputy president.

Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah revealed the meeting would be centred on the affairs of Kiambu county.

The deputy president has been calling for unity in the counties deemed to be President William Ruto's backyards.

To exhaustively tap into national government benefits, Gachagua called on the counties from Rift Valley and Mt Kenya to embrace unity.

He detested the happenings in Meru where Governor Mwangaza had not been on good terms with her deputy Isaac Mutuma, as Wamatangi faces off with MCAs who have threatened to impeach him.

Gachagua said he had sounded a warning to Kericho governor Erick Mutai who had not been seeing eye to eye with his deputy Lilly Ngok, and that he would do the same to Mwangaza and Wamatangi.

"I warned Kericho leaders. Mt Kenya and Rift Valley are political backyards for President William Ruto. We don't want squabbles in these two regions. This is the time to unite and speak in one voice to benefit from this government," he stated.

The deputy president who was visibly vexed mentioned that the leaders would be ousted in the event they shun unity.

"We cannot accept these two regions to have unending squabbles. We will ask the voters to send them away. We are asking leaders in Kericho, Kiambu and Meru to stop squabbles," he said.
