[Muriithi Mugo, Standard]Energy Principal Secretary Alex Wachira has dismissed public service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku's suggestion that the Mt Kenya region should be divided into two. "I have heard Ruku saying that there should be two titles, one for Mt Kenya East and another for Mt Kenya West. He is out of order since the region is one and will remain united under President William Ruto's political patronage. Wachira said CS Ruku was quoted saying in Embu that Mt Kenya could have two titles, effectively dividing the political influence of the region. Wachira said that the region which has attracted political suitors has the best chance of returning to the helm come 2032.
