According to the PS, Mt Kenya has been getting the short end of the stick in resource allocation and representation in Parliament. Kibicho said during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s meeting with Mt Kenya MCAs on January 29 in Sagana, he asked if any MCA gave more than Sh2,000 school bursary per student. But look at what our people are being promised,” Kibicho said referring to the wheelbarrow movement led by Deputy President William Ruto. The BBI Bill gives Mt Kenya region 12 additional constituencies, making it one of the biggest beneficiaries. If the Bill is passed, the Executive will be expanded to have the President, Deputy President, Prime Minister and two deputy prime ministers.
