Mr Duale said that legislators from Jubilee Party cannot be involved in a referendum debate not unless they get directions from President Kenyatta.

“Jubilee Party will not be involved in the debate about reducing the number of electoral seats until it gets direction from President Uhuru Kenyatta. Our prime focus is on the Big Four Agenda,” tweeted Mr Duale.

The Garissa Township MP was reacting to Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot who launched an online campaign dubbed ‘Punguza Mizigo’.

The campaign seeks to reduce the number of legislators from the current 416 to 194 in a move aimed at reducing the amount being spent in parliament.
