A section of Nairobi ODM party women leaders have asked the new Meru Governor Isaac Mutuma to appoint a woman as his deputy even as they condemned the ouster of Kawira Mwangaza.

Addressing a press briefing in Nairobi, on Tuesday, the ODM women caucus said, that if a woman is appointed deputy governor, Mutuma shall have demonstrated gender equality and inclusivity in his administration.
