For the first time, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, will not be attending the Sagana State Lodge meeting, despite being the host governor.
Sagana meeting happening today will be presided love by the head of state, President Uhuru Kenyatta, which is the third meeting in the same lodge ‘sagana 3’, will take place in his absence of the governor.
The governor, unlike this time around, was highly involved in meeting arrangements and was the one who received the head of state in the previous two sagana meetings.
Information from the governor’s office indicated that the governor will not attend since he ditched the Jubilee party to UDA.
“That is a Jubilee meeting. The governor is in UDA, and so he will not be attending the meeting,” they stated.
Jubilee party supporters have flocked Sagana State Lodge in thousands, from various parts of the Mt Kenya region to listen to their de facto leader.
Earlier in the day, Police had a rough time trying to culminate hundreds of supporters who were not on the list of attendants.
