Central Kenya leaders have asked residents to rally behind the BBI so they can claim their space in the national political agenda. Kimemia said Central region must go for its share of the expanded executive should the BBI recommend it. The BBI is expected to recommend the creation of more positions in the executive to promote inclusivity. “If there is an expanded executive, the Central region with over 14 million voters must claim its space in that political and social-economic agenda,” Kimemia said. According to the IEBC figures for the 2017 General Election, Central region had 2,912,659 voters.
