As new Deputy President Kithure Kindiki was taking oath of office Friday, the Njuri Ncheke Supreme Council of Ameru elders converged at their Gitoro shrine, for thanksgiving prayers.
It was not lost to many that it is the council that in 2015 endorsed Prof Kindiki, then Tharaka Nithi Senator, as the spokesman of the Meru community; the six sub-tribes that live between Thuci river in Tharaka Nithi county to Ntonyiri, the farthest end of Meru county.
