Kiunjuri is the best of the worst of generation of kikuyus leaders - because your alternative seem to be the joker Moses Kuria - who come from Gatundu South with Uhuru.
I think Kiunjuri has or will have - RV kikuyus - beyond Laikipia - all the way to Uasin Gishu. He may have lost the Governor - but he has senator and all Laikipia Mps. Nakuru mps - are firmly in Kiunjuri camp. Diaspora Kikuyus see Kiunjuri as their own.
And then Nyeri-Kirinyanga also see Kiunjuri as their own. That leave us with little problem with Muranga where milk-man will want to play hard ball.As for Kiambu - by virtue of Uhuru - they are out - obviously likes of Kabete Mp is destined fro great things - possibly Finance Minister.
It is easy to dismiss Kiunjuri until you're told to bring the alternative. And cut him some slack agriculture was long devolved. Peleka makasirio kwa gavan wenu.
Nyeri-kirinyaga see kiunjuri as their own? Where do you get that? The RV kiuk Mps are in tanga tanga not necessarily with kiunjuri. Even laikipia kiunjuri isn't influential, the only kiunjuri disciple in laikipia is the women rep bimbo waruguru.
Agriculture is devolved but policy making isn't. This is where he has failed miserably, we have his ministry proposing to outlaw manure, milk hawking etc. Then the fool can't even ensure fertilizer imported to the country is up standard(him and the other moron munya).
Why would kuria be dismissed cause he's from Gatundu? Central or gema doesn't need one leader, most likely scenario central we have several leaders depending on the issues at hand. The days of one tribal king are over, uhuru is the last gema tribal king. Its the same thing happening in ukambani.
