Speaker Justin Muturi was on Saturday installed by the Njuri Nceke council of elders as Mt Kenya spokesman. The speaker was coronated in an elaborate event attended by hundreds of elders, largely from his Mt Kenya backyard. He is the fifth leader to be installed by Njuri Nceke, being Kenya's first president Jomo Kenyatta, former President Mwai Kibaki, President Kenyatta, and Meru Governor Kiraitu Murungi. Muturi has been approached by the Njuri Nceke Council of Elders, the Kiama Kiama Kikuyu Council of Elders, the Embu and Mbeere Cultural Elders, as well as religious leaders. Several MPs, not only from the speaker’s Mt Kenya East backyard but also from other counties in Central, have joined the push.
