A section of MPs from Western have lashed out at the Deputy President William Ruto over his stand on the proposed referendum. Speaking to the press in Kakamega town, the lot asked the deputy president to name the people seeking to create positions through the proposed referendum. Ruto was quoted at the weekend as having dismissed the call for the plebiscite as a drive to "create positions for a few people in Nairobi." He also led MPs and other leaders allied to him in characterising the referendum push as a drive to create positions "for a person who should be proceeding to retirement in peace."
