How Uhuru Used Divide and Rule to Lure Kikuyu MPs For Sagana Meeting, Some Tanga Tanga Invited, Others Are Not

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s State House stratagem team have hatched a clever plan to secure the President’s highly anticipated event in Nyeri.

Uhuru is scheduled to meet Mt Kenya leaders today, Friday, November 15 at State Sagana Lodge and the entry into the exclusive meeting is not a walk in the park.

According to a report by The Standard, Kenyatta’s team decided to play cards with the invitees, delaying to issue invites so as to allegedly prevent the leaders from holding agenda planning meetings, ahead of interacting with the head of state.

Hours to the meeting, speculations are rife over the agenda as the President gears to have a one on one with some leaders who had aligned themselves towards Deputy President William Ruto.

Another tactic is that upon arrival, the invited politicians would get their attendance cards at the State Lodge gate upon presenting their Identity Card and phone numbers.

Kenyatta finally played the divide and rule strategy with Ruto’s camp. Some leaders who openly criticized the president were invited while some were not.

For instance, Kiharu MP, Ndindi Nyoro claimed he had no knowledge of the meeting and informed the daily that he had not been invited. His Kikuyu counterpart, Kimani Ichungwa, another DP ally, was invited.

Nyeri Town MP, Ngunjiri Wambugu disclosed that 20 people had been invited per constituency while affirming that DP Ruto had not been invited.

“We have been invited by the President and will honor it. We can differ in opinion but the president and DP are still our leaders until 2022 as per the law,” Wambugu stated.
