Kericho Governor, Prof. Paul Chepkwony, has broken ranks with his masters Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, and vowed to support ‪#‎OkoaKenya‬ referendum.
Speaking during an investment forum in Litein Town in Bureti, Chepkwony said their push for a referendum is justified since Uhuru and Ruto have refused to listen. He noted that the only language Uhuru and Ruto understand is the referendum language to increase money to Counties.
“We are not against the Jubilee Government. In fact, we respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, 100 %. But we are simply asking for monies allocated for devolved functions. We are not ready to keep quiet on this,†said Chepkwony.
The URP Governor accused Uhuru/ Ruto of withholding sh103 billion meant for the construction of ‘D’ roads and other projects in the Counties, saying only the referendum will ensure Counties get what is due to them.
