Shockwaves in Mt. Kenya: Is Martha Karua Facing Arrest After Explosive Limuru III Meeting?

Following the recent Limuru III conference, which stirred considerable political tension in the Mt. Kenya region, there have been calls for Martha Karua’s arrest. This meeting led to the establishment of the Haki coalition, a new political alliance designed to advocate for the region’s interests. Key figures in this coalition, including Karua and former president Uhuru Kenyatta, criticized the current administration and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing them of neglecting regional needs and implementing harsh economic policies.

Pro-government factions have pushed for Karua’s arrest, viewing the actions of the Haki coalition as destabilizing and politically driven. Some government allies have dismissed the relevance of the Limuru III meeting, suggesting it is an attempt to revive ethnic-based politics and undermine the current government.
