It has emerged that on Tuesday, Deputy President William Ruto’s allies compelled the State House group to cancel a meeting at the Ole Sereni where they were set to discuss a wide range of issues including Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
Senate Deputy Chief Whip Irungu Kang'ata and Deputy Chief Whip in the National Assembly Cecily Mbararie had reportedly sent an invitation to all members of parliament from the region to meet to chat the way forward before the cancellation of the same.
The invitation, which was seen by The Star, indicated that the lawmakers were expected to meet on Thursday but they changed their mind after the pressure from the allies of the DP.
"Mheshimiwa, further to our message please note that you are invited for a breakfast meeting of all Mt Kenya MPs and Senators on Thursday 5th December 2019," read the message as quoted by Star.
The invitation had also urged the leaders to keep time to enable them to discuss the issues at hand in an exhaustive manner.
Mbarire and Kang'ata later decided to cancel the meeting after they discussed with State House official Njee Muturi over the issue.
On Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta lost his cool and launched an attack against the allies of the DP for attempting to scuttle the BBI report following its release.
Uhuru asked leaders not to engage in sideshows at the expense of development.
