Murang’a county elders have said they did not coronate the speaker of the national assembly but they blessed him to be the Mt Kenya region spokesperson. The elders clarified that coronation leads to kingship which they said they do not have the authority to bestow upon a leader. Kagwanja said they brought Muturi to Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga shrine so that he could visit their home as he had done with the Ameru and the Ambeere. He spoke on Friday during a meeting with executive committee members of the County Elders Association. Kiama Kia Ma county chairperson Kiarie Rugami on his part said the installation ceremony brought together over 6,000 elders from 10 counties.
