President Uhuru Kenyatta is under pressure to retain a number of Cabinet Secretaries days after his inauguration.
A group of youth from the Mount Kenya Caucus has urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to retain Lands CS Jacob Kaimenyi in the Cabinet.
Led by chairman Linford Mutembei, the leaders said Kaimenyi has been unifying leader.
"We want a unifying leader and we are supporting Kaimenyi as he fits the credential," he said.
Mutembei further opposed the decision to give former Meru Governor Peter Munya be given the slot.
"We all know the squabbles that were witnessed in Meru because of Munya and Governor Kiraitu Murungi rivalry. We do not want a repeat," Mutembei is quoted by the Star.
Munya has filed to withdraw a case challenging the election of Kiraitu as governor, triggering talks he could have been promised a Cabinet Secretary post.
