But speaking at their Nchiru shrine headquarters in Tigania West, Kathera who was flanked by Murangiri and Muthamia disowned an earlier application allegedly made by the council seeking to be enjoined in the court as amicus curiae, or friends of the court.
"As Njuri Ncheke leaders we did not seek to be friends of the court in the impeachment case. We cannot interfere in the assembly business," Kathera said, adding that the only thing they could do was try to reconcile the Meru leaders as instructed by President Ruto.
But a faction led by Andrian Aruyaru stormed the Shrine and told their colleagues off, arguing that the Njuri council can implement the court order to listen to the warring parties and forward the report to the court.
The elders who arrived at the shrine with sheep and cows for a 'cleansing' ceremony there, said the role of elders was to unite Meru leaders, and the rest of them were not happy with the unending conflict pitting Mwangaza and the Assembly.
Accompanied by tens of elders, Aruyaru said they had for ages presided over Alternative Dispute Resolution and thus had the capacity to listen to all the political leaders' grievances against each other and compile a report for the court, as Justice Kassan had ordered.
"We are perturbed by the secretary general (Murangiri) saying the elders have no capacity to resolve the differences. We have that capacity and we want to unite all the leaders as the president said," he said.
Mike Makarena, a political activist told off those who do not want to see the elders unite the Governor and MCAs.
Makarena appealed to President Ruto to dissolve the county to pave a way for fresh elections.
"They want to impeach the Governor all the time. Everyone should accept Mwangaza is our leader".
