Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has questioned President Uhuru Kenyatta's decision to prefer working with former Mt Kenya leaders.
On Friday, Uhuru held a meeting with Mt Kenya leaders, with the head of state preferring having former Nyeri Senator Mutahi Kagwe as the Master of Ceremony (MC).
Throughout the meeting, leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto were blocked from addressing the gathering, with reports suggesting that they sat far away from VIP tent.
But on Sunday, the Bahati MP asked Uhuru to immediately dissolve Parliament and call for elections if he's unable to work with elected leaders.
“I have said this, and I am repeating it for the umpteenth time: if the President is tired of working with the people who were elected with him, he should dissolve the government and call for elections," Kimani Ngunjiri said as quoted by the Star.
"That way he will have to campaign for those people he thinks can work with him and also campaign for himself, get elected and form a government with those who would massage his ego,” he added.
Uhuru is expected to visit the unsettled region next month, with his impending retirement worsening succession battles in the area.
But Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu insists that Uhuru is the de facto leader of Mt Kenya, adding that he will call shots even after his expected exit.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta remains the spokesperson of the Mt Kenya region now and in the future,” Wambugu said referring to what he called the Sagana Declaration.
