A cross section of leaders from Tharaka Nithi and Meru Counties converged in Meru Town on Saturday to unveil a cultural association to spearhead conservation of the Ameru culture and heritage.
The Ameru Community Cultural Stakeholders Association (ACCSA) is also expected to bring closer residents from the two counties to promote social cohesion as well as economic growth.
During the event held in a Meru town hotel, former Cabinet Minister Professor Jacob Kaimenyi was installed as the Chief Mugwe to lead the association for the next six years as per their constitution.
Mugwe is the Kimeru title for a cultural leader.
