THE MAJIMBO DEBATE HOTS UP IN KERICHO, KENYA
AS the debate about majimbo continues catching fire in kericho, more and more people are continuing to take an interest in it and to speak out their minds out and to declare their stand about it.
We talked to one Kericho business man, Mr. Lawrence Bet, about the debate and he talked strongly about his stand on the debate. He said that he strongly advocated for the ODM backed debate .The businessman said that with this system of government, there would be a fair distribution of the country’s revenues. He said that according to the current system of government ,some areas of the country lacked behind in development because of others while they had the natural resources to enable them to catch up with civilization .They produced enough to feed ,educate and provide employment for it’s populations ,yet ,because of the other non-productive areas of the country, they lacked behind with them.
He also said that he strongly supported the increase by the government of the number of counties to twenty five and the regional governments in general .Kericho is Kenya’s main tea growing area and the people here have been strongly supporting this debate .They say that the areas populations are suffering from all these economic problems yet, the tea industry provides a lot of jobs but they are taken by people from different places in the country.
It looks like the ODM will again get a stronghold in kericho like it was in the past general elections.
