The team is expected to oversee peace and reconciliation process between the county executive and the assembly whose fight has led to slow implementation of development projects in the region. But a section of the MCAs rejected the team saying they were not consulted when it was being made. Led by Kirinyaga Majority Leader Kamau Murango, the MCAs said they will not participate in the talks. When contacted for comment Archbishop Muheria said he was not aware that he has been named to be part of the peace team. Members of the team set to spearhead the reconciliation talks are apolitical and non-partisan, the governor said.
