The contentious revenue sharing formula, which Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and other lawmakers have said is a loss to Mt Kenya, has sparked a sense of urgency too. In this regard, Mt Kenya is now positioning itself as "an attractive bride whom politicians seeking support from must seduce". In the last election, the region voted the duo of President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto to the last man. It was expected that President Kenyatta would serve 10 years then pass the mantle to the DP, but that appears to be no more. Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu said they all agreed on the need to unite the leaders for the development of areas common to the people in the Mt Kenya region.
