They [Diaspora Cord Fraternity] concurred with Senator Johnstone Muthama that the legislature remains as the only option channel to ardently protect the country against schemes aimed at frustrating devolution and the implementation of the New Constitution.

The former Prime Minister warned of the government’s plans of sabotaging devolution by running a parallel system of the old provincial administration alongside the new devolved system. He leaves London today to arrive in Nairobi right into afresh controversy that the government has refused to release toxicology samples of the late Makueni Senetor.
