The race for Political Supremacy in Upper Eastern Kenya is taking shape.
Several Government officials told Hot News that some State functionaries are behind the recently registered National Ordinary Peoples Empowerment Party (NOPEU).
A source who requested anonymity said the Party was silently registered by the state functionaries who fronted several politicians from Meru.
“The State functionaries want to use the party at the opportune time to politically control the region. The officials of the party who include some young men from Meru, are being financed by the functionaries and soon, recruitment of members will start,” the source said.
