Meru County Governor Isaac Mutuma, on Wednesday, March 26, took a swipe at his predecessor Kawira Mwangaza when addressing investors in the county.
Speaking to the media, Governor Mutuma urged investors who had fled the county over the past two and a half years due to toxic county leadership to return and help grow the county's economy. "I would like to request our men and women who fled from Meru because of the toxic political environment over the last two and a half years to come back and support us in delivering services and development to our people," Mutuma stated. "I would also urge all our brothers working in various sectors of the economy in this country and abroad to return and assist in building Meru together because Meru belongs to all of us."
