Governor Kiraitu Murungi received a powerful delegation of defectors from top leadership of the former regime's Party of National Unity (PNU), who have ditched their former party and pledged allegiance to him and his administration.

The delegation of PNU's top brass which was led by Senatorial aspirant and Chairperson of Kenya Industrial Estates (KIE), lawyer Mugambi Imanyara and running mate to former Governor Peter Munya, Mr. Peter Kaberia Nkubitu, also included all the County Executives of former regime led by Ntoitha Ntomithiaru, Martin Bikuri, Mary Mwiti, Joy Karui Muriungi, former Akithii MCA Nturibi Itirikia, former head of County Revenue Board Eng. Acquiliano Thilange, the former PA to Mr. Munya, Mr. Gikundi Ntuala, businessman and party financier Kiriinya Nairuti, among others.

"We want to tell the people of Meru that we are now fully in support of our Governor H.E. Kiraitu Murungi because we have seen his development agenda which is transforming this County. We also acknowledge the immense experience of our Governor in politics of this country, and we want him to unite and guide our County especially through the ongoing referendum debate, the 2022 succession Politics and the direction we should take as the Ameru people," said Mr. Kaberia.

While welcoming the team, Governor Kiraitu thanked them for throwing support behind his leadership, saying that the unity will go along way in cementing the position of Meru County as an integral part of Kenya. The Governor also issued caution to all proponents of various drives to amend the constitution, saying the counties will vote down any proposals that do not focus on bringing more money to the devolved governmnets.

"You saw the other day our Assembly voted down the Punguza Mzigo bill, because it was an abstract, academic initiative which was not well thought out and would have created more problems than it sought to solve," added the Governor.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Governor Hon. Titus Ntuchiu said that as a County Government, they welcome the defecting team and will work with them to achieve the vision of Making Meru Great, but will not entertain any empty political rhetoric at the expense of service delivery to Mwananchi.
