Kindiki crowned Mount Kenya spokesperson amid opposition

Deputy President Professor Kithure Kindiki goes to bed tonight with a new title after being crowned spokesperson of the Mount Kenya region in a cultural ceremony led by the Council of Elders at Kirigiti Stadium in Kiambu County. Kindiki has vowed to champion unity and the interests of the region. However, the endorsement has already drawn strong resistance from a section of Mount Kenya leaders, including former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who is currently on a tour of the United States.
