On the opening day, the event was graced by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as well as a couple of Cabinet Secretaries led by Fred Matiang’i (Interior), Joe Mucheru (ICT), Eugene Wamalwa (Defence) and Monica Juma (Energy).
Governors allied to the DP, however, gave the event a wide berth.
In attendance were county chiefs presumed to be loyal to the “Handshake” partners. They included; Council of Governors chairman and Embu Governor Martin Wambora, Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Charity Ngilu (Kitui) and host Kivutha Kibwana.
