Two politicians from the Kuria community have said they will block the Sh516 million urban upgrade by the World Bank. That is, unless Kuria municipalities are included in the project, Kuria East MP Marwa Kiatayama of Jubilee and nominated MP Dennitah Ghati of ODM said. "We are not going to allow Migori county to marginalise Kuria region. For Kuria municipalities to be left out is in bad faith,” she said. Three leaders from the Kuria community have sued to block the upgrade, alleging unfairness in allocation of the grant.
