Haki Coalition Launched at Limuru III Conference: Mt. Kenya Leaders Unite for Regional Unity and Fair Revenue Sharing.
Limuru, Kenya - In a historic gathering at the Jumuiya Conference Centre, Mt. Kenya leaders came together today to launch a political coalition known as the Haki Coalition. The primary objective of this coalition is to advocate for the implementation of the "one man, one vote, one shilling" revenue sharing formula. The conference aimed to address the recent divisions within the region and promote unity among its leaders.
During the conference, the leaders emphasized the need for a united front in the face of challenges that the region has been experiencing. They firmly stated that the region has only one political kingpin, former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and called for unwavering support for his leadership.
Furthermore, the leaders expressed their concerns over what they perceive as a plot by the government to undermine the interests of the people of the Mt. Kenya region. They accused state machinery, including the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), of being used against the region. The leaders called on the people to stand up against these alleged injustices and fight for their rights.
In a direct message to the Members of Parliament representing the region, the leaders criticized them for their perceived inaction in the face of mistreatment by the government. They urged the MPs to actively engage in addressing the economic hardships and burdensome taxes faced by the people.
The leaders vowed to demand respect for the region and champion the "one man, one vote, one shilling" mantra in the division of revenue. They acknowledged that the failure to pass the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Bill was a mistake and pledged to rectify it by advocating for fair resource allocation.
In a call for unity, the leaders urged Deputy President Gachagua to move away from media engagements and instead seek dialogue with President Uhuru Kenyatta. They emphasized the importance of a united front to ensure the prosperity and development of the Mt. Kenya region.
The launch of the Haki Coalition marks a significant milestone in the political landscape of the Mt. Kenya region. With a renewed focus on unity and fair resource allocation, the coalition aims to address the concerns of the people and advocate for their rights. As the region moves forward, it is expected that the Haki Coalition will play a pivotal role in shaping the political agenda and ensuring the region's voice is heard.
