Leaders from Mt Kenya region have defended the allocation of more parliamentary seats to the region as envisaged in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.

In an event held in Limuru dubbed “BBI Express Limuru Chapter” the leaders said they were not shy to demand additional seats in Parliament on account of their region’s population.
