Former KDF ry Captain Mwenda Mbijiwe (pictured) has announced his run for Meru governor. He accused Munya of neglecting the miraa business, resulting in more poverty. “We must invest in lobbying new markets and ensuring the Netherlands and Europe terminate the miraa ban. Mbijiwe said farmers and traders suffered a huge blow after the crop was banned in the lucrative Europe and US markets. Mbijiwe urged the county government to put in place measures that will safeguard the miraa business.
