Jubilees' plan to stop referendum push.

The ruling coalition has come up with plans to stop the referendum push by the Governors and the Opposition coalition. Speaking at the Parliament Buildings, the National Assembly Majority leader Honorable Aden Duale said that the country is not ready for a referendum and both the Governors and the Cord coalition should stop the call for a referendum.

Similarly, the other leaders allied to the ruling coalition including the Deputy President have stated that the nation is not ready to get into an election mode which i guess already it is in. Last week in a meeting attended by the Deputy President and leaders from Tanzania to commemorate the Mara events, the Leader of Majority in the National Assembly, Honorable Aden Duale, took onto the Bomet Governor, Honorable Isaac Ruto telling him off on his push for referendum and call for more money to be allocated to the counties.

The ruling coalition has also stated that it is going to discipline its leaders who are pro-referendum. This indeed places the Governors in a fix and some of them have already decamped from supporting the referendum drive.

The Gun Battle

Over the recent days this week, county assembly members and county leaders have engaged in fierce battles with the recent one being the Makueni event. This posses a question as to why leaders have to be in possesion of firearms.
However, with the latest events in Nandi county and Makueni county, the Members of County Asemblies countrywide are now demanding for firearms from the Uhurus' Government. Indeed, their demands are valid. One of the MCAs said that the Goverment should issue them with firearms just as other leaders are given security details with firearms.
