Kawira Mwangaza","speaker_title":"The Governor of Meru County","speaker":{"id":1325,"legal_name":"Kawira Mwangaza Mwenda","slug":"kawira-mwangaza-mwenda"},"content":"Out of the 45 elected MCAs, we have only one. Meru has never elected a leader at the national level. We get nomination slots and no election for women. I think the other way to solve this issue is to do a lot of civic education for Meru, so that people can understand and embrace the leadership of women. That is the only issue in Meru. For development, we are doing well. For absorption of the budget, we are doing well."}
