KILEMI MWIRIA:KIRAITU,MUNYA FIGHTING OVER SELF INTEREST

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s adviser on education, Kilemi Mwiria, has accused Meru top politicians of advancing personal interests at the expense of development.
Dr Mwiria, who who has expressed interest in the Meru governorship, said he would resign in February to concentrate on his political ambition.
He was speaking on Friday at Nkubu High School in Imenti South where he was the chief guest during the school’s prize giving day.
Dr Mwiria, who lost to Governor Peter Munya in 2013, had contested the election results in court before the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the incumbent.
He said the bitter differences between Mr Munya and Mr Murungi have only emerged due to the approaching elections since they had ganged up against him in 2013.
“Mr Munya and Mr Murungi have been like father and son. They are not fighting over development policies but personal interests. Their differences are a result of one party missing on contracts that would have benefited them personally.
“The people of Meru should not be fooled into believing that the name calling has anything to do with their welfare,” Dr Mwiria said.
Senator Murungi and Governor Munya rivalry has left MPs and MCAs divided sabotaging legislative business in the county.

SELFISH INTERESTS
The former Tigania West MP accused Mr Murungi of advancing selfish interests in his quest for governorship in 2013.
“When we met ahead of the 2013 campaigns to agree on our political leadership, Mr Murungi was the first to declare that he preferred to be a senator. He had recommended me for governor before he changed tune and stood for Mr Munya. They have nothing good for Meru County,” he said.
Dr Mwiria said despite the two aspirants having kicked off their campaigns earlier, he was confident that he will trounce them.
“Mr Murungi’s team is spreading propaganda that I will not be in the race. I assure my supporters that I will resign from public service by February to start my campaigns. Victory in politics has nothing to do with a long campaign period,” Dr Mwiria said.
He has maintained that he will fight it out with Mr Murungi and other contestants in the Jubilee Party nominations.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
