Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua and Jubilee secretary general Jeremiah Kioni have defended their decision to call a meeting in Limuru to discuss what they say are problems in the Mt Kenya region that are hurting residents. Rattled by continued political divisions and alleged segregation, deteriorating local economy due to collapse of businesses and poor agricultural crop prices, Mt Kenya leaders have organised a meeting dubbed Limuru III Conference, set to bring together more than 10 parties. The date of the conference, which is also meant to discuss the political direction the mountain will take, will be announced next week. According to Ms Karua, various issues related to politics and 'oppression' of the community by the current regime will be discussed. "We have been invaded as a region and we want to discuss how we should stop the onslaught," he said.
