President Uhuru Kenyatta has dismissed claims that he called for a meeting with Mt Kenya leaders at State House, Nairobi.
In a statement on Thursday, Uhuru said the information going around about the meeting are misleading.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta’s attention has been drawn to misleading information circulating online on a purported meeting with Central Kenya elected leaders this week,” State House spokesperson Kanze Dena said.
“The President did not convene nor postpone any such meeting. Therefore, the information is false and misleading.”
Kanze said Uhuru’s diary for the remainder of the week and the weekend ahead has several public engagements of which Kenyans will be duly informed through established platforms.
Some leaders privy to the information had told the Star they had been sent an invitation message on Thursday.
“There is a meeting tomorrow at State House to plan those things I have told you,” the leader told the Star.
They further claimed that Uhuru said the meeting was called off after consultations.
“I have deferred the meeting that was scheduled for Friday at State House Nairobi, with MPs, Senators and Governors from the Mt Kenya region to a later date, which will be communicated to you in due course,” the message read. BY THE STAR
