He said he will governor Mutuma time to work for the remaining one year.
“Just because I have declared my bid for governor does not mean we will start squabbles with Mutuma I can see that people from his camp want us to fight but let me tell them I have no time for them,” Mutuma said.
He said instead those camp should not direct their energies to fight him but rather on how they will advice the current governor to deliver ti the people of Meru in the remaining period.
