The NRM through the Homa Bay town MP Peter Kaluma has issued a three-page response to the IEBC to highlight the sucession process as indicated in the Constitution. The country will be divided into two; the peoples' republic of Kenya and the Central Republic of Kenya.
Chairman Wafula Chebukati was responding to Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma. He said he can pursue the matter but must adhere to the law.
Kaluma last Thursday submitted a Secession Bill to the IEBC after writing to Chebukati on October 2 asking if the commission had set up procedures to hold a referendum to amend the Constitution to split the country.
Chebukati’s three-page response seen by the Star highlights constitutional provisions Kaluma should follow and states the changes made on the Election Act in addressing constitutional ambiguities Raila Odinga’s Cord faced during its Okoa Kenya drive.
“A referendum question on an issue other than that contemplated in Articles 255, 256, and 257 of the Constitution shall be decided by a simple majority of the citizens voting in the referendum,” Chebukati says, citing the new clause introduced to Section 54 of the Election Act.
Kaluma wants the creation of two new countries, the People’s Republic of Kenya and the Central Republic of Kenya. People have been advocating for the division as part of the healing from the injustices.
Raila Odinga went to the US since last week and joined by his colleague Kalonzo Musyoka. The duo has been planning on how fresh credible, fair, verifiable and free elections can be conducted.

Thank you peter Kaluma for presenting the SECESSION BILL to IEBC! We don't need gullible people like Ekuru Aukot and DP Ruto in people's republic of Kenya! #Resist— Amakanji Thomas (@AmakanjiThomas) November 13, 2017
Why are Kikuyus and Kalenjins bitter about Secession Bill? I thought it should excite them as it allows them to alternate the presidency at will.— nyandiga (@nyandiga001) November 13, 2017
