Governor of Meru County Kawira Mwangaza has named her husband Murega Baicu as the patron of the Youth Service.

Murega’s position will not be paid or compensated, said Kawira during the unveiling of her cabinet.

Instead, she stated, her spouse will be more of a volunteer.

“This office will not have a salary, neither will it have allowances. This office will be held by the first gentleman of the county,” Kawira said.
