The National Super Alliance has drafted a bill detailing how Kenya should be split.
The secession talk was first introduced by NASA’s technical head and economist Dr David Ndii.
It drew harsh and varied reactions especially from Jubilee supporters.
But it has now emerged that NASA is gunning to split Kenya into two including People’s Republic of Kenya.
ODM’s Peter Kaluma (Homa Bay Town MP) has sponsored The Constitution of Kenya amendment bill 2017.
He seeks to amend Article 5 of the Constitution to redefine the country’s territory.
“It is proposed to amend the Constitution of Kenya 2010 under 255(1)(b) and (2) of the Constitution as read together with Article 5 of the Constitution to redefine the territory of Kenya and allow for the creation of two new countries,” reads Kaluma’s draft according to the Star.
He has submitted the bill to the IEBC for review. He then will embark on collecting a million signatures of registered voters necessary to trigger a referendum.
NASA top leaders from Coast region led by Mombasa and Kilifi Governors Hassan Joho and Amason Kingi have been vocal about the secession debate in the last few days.
The two join a battery of Nyanza leaders who insist the secession debate will be a top agenda for them.
NASA leader on Thursday weighed in on the secession debate citing that its call; has been informed by exclusion from power by certain forces within the ruling class.
“The biggest problem in Kenya right now is exclusion. When you see people begin to talk about secession, it basically tells you here is something seriously wrong with Kenya that must be addressed or else the country tears apart,” said Raila as quoted by the Star.
He was addressing an audience at the US policy think tank Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC.
“A solution must be found in Kenya soon,” he added.
Kaluma stated that secession is the only way to address evils that have dogged the country governance system.
He listed the evils as exclusion, tribalism, corruption, inequities, impunity and general bad governance which he blamed on the current Jubilee regime.
If the draft is approved by the IEBC, it will be introduced in county assemblies, 47 in number within three months.
If majority of the county assemblies pass the draft bill, it will be introduced in Parliament for approval from where a referendum will be held.
