By DANIEL TSUMA NYASSYMore by this AuthorFord Kenya leader Moses Wetang'ula has called for the reduction of the number of counties from 47 to 16. “The original Bomas constitution draft proposed only 16 counties but we later had to come to a compromise where all the former districts had to become counties. He was addressing a congregation at Elimu Evangelical Church at Makupa in Mombasa on Saturday after attending an evening service. From there, we will know what works and what does not work as we have already seen that some counties are too small and unsustainable," he said. The Bungoma senator put forward that more funds need to be allocated to counties for better management.
