Mount Kenya Foundation (MKF) members will tomorrow (Thursday) meet leaders from Northern Kenya who are backing ODM leader Raila Odinga's presidential bid. MKF vice-chairman Titus Ibui, the convener of the luncheon, said the meeting aims at strengthening the ties between Northern Kenya and Mount Kenya regions in areas of mutual interest. "Your attendance will be significant and help strengthen the bonds and ties in the larger Mount Kenya region incorporating Mount Kenya North and to deepen areas of mutual interest and concern in the future," said the invitation card sent by Mr Ibui. The foundation is made up of tycoons from the Mount Kenya region and is known to have a significant say on the presidential aspirant the region backs each election cycle. However, a section of northern Kenya leaders, led by governors Ali Roba (Mandera) and Mohamud Ali (Marsabit), has disowned the initiative.
