What are the immediate political implications of the Meru community's feeling of exclusion from key government positions, considering their substantial support for President Ruto?

Mithika Linturi, a former Kenyan Agriculture Cabinet Secretary, accuses President Ruto's administration of overlooking the Meru community in recent political appointments despite their significant support (800,000 votes) in the 2022 elections. He cites this as disrespect and vows to advocate for their rightful place in national leadership. This has caused significant discontent within the community.
