The National Assembly Speaker said he is ready to serve the people of Mt Kenya region after being coronated as the region’s spokesman.

Muturi was coronated last month at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga shrine in Murang’a County, an event that was attended by hundreds of elders.

Governor Mwangi wa Iria organised a cleansing ceremony of Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga shrine.

Last week, elders from the Kikuyu Council of Elders and Kiama Kia Ma said they have nullified the elevation of Muturi as spokesman for the Mt Kenya region.

The elders who spoke after a cleansing ceremony said their prayers had invalidated the coronation.
