MERU COUNTY: Leaders from the Meru community Saturday mounted pressure on Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi to withdraw his censure motion against Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru. Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki set the ball rolling when he claimed the impeachment motion was giving President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, sleepless nights.

He said it was embarrassing for the MP, who led the Meru people to an overwhelming vote for the Jubilee Government, to spearhead attacks on the same Government. The leaders were speaking during a wedding for Buuri MP Gatobu Kinoti, who is the youngest parliamentarian. Uhuru, who arrived shortly at 5.30pm, also graced the event.
