The Bomet County Assembly has said it will not conduct public participation on the constitutional amendment bill across the county as earlier planned. The Committee on Administration, Justice and Legal Affairs will instead hold one major forum at the county assembly grounds on Tuesday next week where residents have been invited to attend and give their views. Hostility from the residents on the ground has also been cited as the main cause by the assembly to shelve the planned forums. Keter hinted to us that there was the probability that the members might pass the document since it has some benefits to them as a county that outshines its demerits. “What we only want are the views from the people for us to discuss this bill and that will happen probably next week or the subsequent week,” he said.
