By MANASE OTSIALOMore by this AuthorMandera Governor Ali Roba has scoffed at a proposal by Orange Democratic Movement’s leader Raila Odinga for a constitutional review to form a three-tier government. Mr Roba termed the suggestion by Mr Odinga as a setback for devolution that he said has transformed Kenyan lives across the country. “What Mr Raila is talking about in Nairobi is not acceptable in this part of the country and we cannot accept to be taken to Garissa for services,” said Mr Roba. Mr Odinga based his argument on the the Bomas Draft Constitution that divided Kenya into 14 regions, each made up of several districts. Under the draft, the role of the regional governments was to coordinate the implementation, within districts, of programmes that cut across devolved units.
