As the Senate impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua unfolded on Wednesday, Murang'a Governor Irung'u Kang'ata met with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to discuss "national cohesion and the progress we have made as a country under devolution."
The meeting quickly fueled speculation about Kang'ata's political ambitions, especially since he has been mentioned as a potential successor should the Senate vote to remove Gachagua.
