    Performance track records show that Kiraitu would be the best Senator supported by a young youthful governor Munya. This combination will take Merians places.  

  • Julius Ethang’atha N

    There are two politicians who have shown that they can make a difference in opening their areas for development particularly in roads network. These are Kiraitu and Munya. Give them them an opportunity to do more, especially given the contrasting periods of yesteryears. Why should merus waste time with people who will not lead the citizenry to exploit the God given resources to the full?
