BBI Bill: Wajir civil groups protest addition of 70 constituencies

Session in progress at the National Assembly chambers.[Standard]

Civil society groups drawn from Northern Kenya now want the proposed addition of 70 constituencies in the BBI bill scrapped.

Under the umbrella of the Coalition of Civil Societies of Northern Kenya, the groups claim it is only the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission that is mandated to propose addition or subtraction of constituencies after boundaries review.
