MCAs were disappointed after President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga snubbed the legislative summit in Kisumu this week. Uhuru, Raila and Ruto were slated to address the fourth annual summit that brought together senators, MCAs and devolution stakeholders. The snub of the summit by the big leaders angered MCAs who had high hopes the leaders would hear the challenges they face. On January 19 accompanied by Raila, Kenyatta attended the burial of the former Youth Enterprise Development Fund chairman Bruce Odhiambo in Koru, Muhoroni. The President during the first summit promised MCAs grants, saying they should be accorded equal treatment with MPs.
