Comedian and activist Eric Omondi discloses his intentions of initiating a referendum to have the number of counties reduced from the current 47 to eight.
Speaking during an interview, the vocal comedian stated that the idea of creating counties was to devolve resources but it has ended up devolving corruption.
Eric further added that he would be also seeking the removal of the nominated members in the assembly and woman representative position.
“We are going to start a referendum led by Eric Omondi kuondoa the 47 counties. We are going to reduce to 8 counties to be like former provinces. We are going to do away with Senators, Woman Representatives, nominated Members of Parliament, nominated Members of County Assemblies, nominated Senators, hata hao MCAs wachunge sana ju sijaona kazi wamefanya,” Eric said.
“The idea was to devolve resources but we ended up devolving corruption. We are going to do away with the 47 governors and have eight governors. Hatutakuwa na Senators ata MCAs.”
He went on to state that Kenyans are overwhelmed adding that the over-representation not only burdens Kenya’s taxpayers but also brings confusion in terms of project developments.
“Kenyans are over-represented, one person is represented by an MP, Senator, Governor, MCAs, Woman Representative and the President,” Eric added.
