Deputy President William Ruto yesterday waded into the leadership wrangles that have bedevilled Murang'a County following the failed impeachment of Governor Mwangi wa Iria. Mr Ruto, who was in the region yesterday for a church service, pleaded with leaders to embrace dialogue as a solution to challenges facing the county. Deputy Governor Gakure Monyo's office was demolished last week in what the county government said was renovation. The governor has blamed his deputy and other politicians of being behind his ouster bid. The county assembly has promised to impeach Wa Iria a second time after the Senate threw out its first attempt. But speaking at the Kihumbuini PCEA Church in Gatanga during celebrations to mark 100 years, Ruto said challenges facing the national and county governments presently can only be resolved through dialogue. Current crisis The DP said he was concerned with the current crisis and called on all elected leaders in the region to have a round-table to seek solutions. "Leaders should work together and demonstrate unity and shun the culture of undermining one another," said Ruto as he stressed the need for accountability in public service. Kenyans, he said, supported devolution after it was identified as a mechanism that would ensure effective management of public resources. "Murang'a governor, your people are demanding for transparency in service delivery," said Ruto. The governor dispelled claims of disunity in the county. standard digital
