Manyatta Member of Parliament (MP) John Gitonga Mukunji has proposed renaming Embu County to Embu-Mbeere County to address perceived developmental inequalities faced by the Mbeere community.

• The proposal aims to rectify what the MP describes as "long-standing injustices" and "historical neglect" in the Mbeere region, despite its resourcefulness.
• The key person involved is Manyatta MP John Gitonga Mukunji.
• Changing a county's name under the Kenyan Constitution would require a constitutional amendment, potentially involving Parliament and/or a popular initiative and county assemblies.
