Friday, September 30, 2022 –Jitters after newly elected Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza today handed husband a double appointment.
Ms Mwangaza gave a twin-appointment to Mr. Murega Baichu who, from today, will be the patron of Meru Youth Service MYS as well as an Ambassador for Meru’s hustlers.
The two positions which are not in the Constitution were created with her office and will be funded fully by tax payers’ money.
But while trying to defend her move, Mwangaza argued that the newly-appointed ambassador will not draw any salary from the county coffers.
“His Excellency first gentleman Murega of Meru County currently holds the ambassadorial role by the Ministry of Tourism and when you see him there he is an apostle.
“Today we are giving him a job without pay and allowances. He will be a volunteer in the docket of Meru Youth Service,” Mwanganza announced.
The governor also said that the role of her husband in leadership of the county is to reinforce her work by speaking for and on behalf of the poor hustlers.
“I have also given him another powerful role as Meru Hustlers Ambassador. He will be reporting to the governor so when you see him with his cap at Governor’s office, just know he will be representing the hustlers,” the governor stated.
Just a few days ago, the husband had been captured attending several key County meetings in which he appeared to fully participate.
