A section of Meru leaders has challenged the national government to ban the 'Okolea kana KA Miiru' charity events associated with former Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.

The leaders appealed after three youths were allegedly attacked during last Sunday's charity event at Kaguma in Central Imenti. The incident left one of the victims, identified as Rooney Kimathi, admitted to the Meru Level 5 Hospital's Intensive Care Unit.
