The Meru Governor has appointed a seven-member committee to evaluate whether Meru Municipality meets the criteria for elevation to city status. The committee, comprised of professionals from various sectors, will assess Meru Municipality against the requirements outlined in the Urban Areas and Cities Act. The committee's findings will advise the county government on whether to grant city status to Meru Municipality, with the mandate lasting for one year.
While the committee's appointment marks a significant step in the process, the gazette notice does not officially declare Meru a city.
