It has emerged that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s remarks on rotational presidency gave rise to the coronation of National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi as the spokesperson of Mt Kenya region. 

The president’s cousin, Kungu Muigai, made the revelation on Saturday at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga shrine when he announced that in support and solidarity of Uhuru’s remarks, elders from Nyangi Ndiriri and Njuri Ncheke started the process of grooming their own.
