The new Constitution has burdened Kenya with 47 counties, 47
governors and several MCAs whose work is done by MPs through the CDF. MCAs earn
huge salaries and to justify their position, they have resorted to threatening
and impeaching governors. There are some regions which have more governors
thanks to the allocation of counties. These are Rift Valley, Nyanza and
Central. If we have 42 tribes why do we have 47 governors? This means there are
governors whose counties have less population. To cut the wage bill, it is
imperative to compel Parliament to amend the Constitution to reduce the number
of governors as well as MCAs.
