By PATRICK LANG'ATMore by this AuthorA voter has drafted a Bill seeking the removal of 27 constituencies in the four Nyanza counties from the Republic of Kenya, while creating a new county called Kuria. “The residents of these constituencies have continuously expressed their wish to be excluded from the territory of Kenya. Apart from Central Kenya counties of Nyeri, Murang’a, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Nyandarua, Embu, and Tharaka Nithi, Mr Kaluma wants all the other 40 to break away from the united Kenya, alleging that they have been continually discriminated against by successive governments. We have gone into the second generation of devolution and we cannot celebrate this by destroying our country. And if any of the two Houses fail to pass it, the Bill will be subjected to a referendum where a simple majority will take the day.
