A group of Maasai professionals has proposed Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery named the community’s spokesman.
The Maa community is seeking a replacement for William Ntimama who died early last month.
The group said Nkaissery has the necessary leadership experience and the command to lead the community.
The Daily Nation reports that the professionals want the person who will take up the mantle to be one of integrity who cannot be manipulated to go against the interests of the Maa community.
These characteristic traits, they said, are evident in Nkaissery.
“The person we believe could have the guts to lead us is CS Nkaissery. Mr Nkaissery can fit the bill because he is handling one of the most powerful dockets in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Government,” said their leader Frank Kiberekenya in Nakuru town on Wednesday.
Kiberekenya is the secretary of the Nakuru County Land Management Board.
Several leaders are eyeing the spokesman role.
