Tharaka Nithi leaders divided over calls for referendum

Tharaka Nithi leaders divided over calls for referendum
October 1, 2018 Eastern Newspaper

A section of leaders from Tharaka Nithi County have opposed calls for a referendum to reduce the number of representatives in the Country.

Led by Governor Muthomi Njuki, the leaders argued that the financial requirements for a referendum will further burden the taxpayer.

The County boss noted that the calls for referendum are being instigated by a section of politicians keen on flexing their political muscles ahead of 2022 polls.

He called on those championing for a referendum to shelve the idea.

However, in a quick rejoinder, Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki has dismissed those opposing calls for referendum arguing that Kenyans are suffering because of the high wage bill occasioned by the constitution as it is at the moment.

Kindiki added that there were a lot of roles being duplicated and thus wasting resources meant for development.
