The air at the Meru Governor's residence buzzed with a mix of anticipation and quiet tension yesterday as the new executive committee members raised their right hands, reciting the oath that would officially usher them into office.
Just weeks ago, the political landscape in the County had been disrupted by the dramatic impeachment of Governor Kawira Mwangaza, a move that catapulted Deputy Governor Reverend Isaac Mutuma MÉthinkia into the seat of power.
At the moment, with the weight of leadership on his shoulders and the eyes of the public fixed firmly on his every move, Governor Mutuma has begun reshaping his administration-starting with the appointment of a fresh lineup of executive committee members meant to signal a new era of transparency, reform, and stability.
But as the ink dried on their letters of appointment, the question lingering in the minds of many was whether this new team could truly rise above the shadows of the past-or whether they were simply stepping into the same storm, under a different name.
