Taita
and Mijikenda communities have said they will call a meeting to deliberate the
political future of the region come 2017 general elections saying they have
been disappointed by the replacement of Gideon Mung’aro as minority chief whip
in parliament by the Cord leadership.
The
communities led by secretaries of the Council of Elders Associations,
Vincent Mwachiro for Mijikenda and Peter Mambembe for Taita noted that the
removal of Mungaro had no basis and is unfortunate because the first
casualty should have been the majority chief whip.
Mwachiro
and Mambembe noted that the Cord leader was losing popularity and close friends
from his Orange Democratic Movement party and these were signs of the last
kicks of a dying horse. They said it is important for the communities in the
region to make a decision before the ship sinks into the deep sea.
Mambembe
said he had warned coast politicians from blindly following the former prime
minister after he lost of all friends who had formed the Pentagon by
claiming that they were interested in the presidency and accused the Cord
leader of being power hungry after he kicked them out of the party.
