More than 50 MPs from Mt Kenya region are going into a meeting this morning to unveil a common stand on the BBI, although they are already deeply divided.

The meeting in Embu appears headed for a rocky start after a bitter exchange yesterday between two MPs at a harambee presided over by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i in Kirinyaga County.
