Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata has sent social media into a frenzy with speculation after meeting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
In a statement on Wednesday, October 16, Kang’ata disclosed that Raila invited him to his office for consultations.
The county boss stated that their discussions revolved around national cohesion and the progress of the country under devolution.
“Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga invited me this morning for consultations. We had a good discussion on national cohesion and the progress we have made as a country under devolution,” Kang’ata remarked.
However, the governor’s meeting with the former prime minister has led to speculation about the next deputy president if Rigathi Gachagua is impeached.
A section of Kenyans online suggested that Kang’ata may be next in line to take up the post should the Senate oust Gachagua.
However, a section of netizens warned the governor against the post and asked him to stick with the people of Murang’a County.
