With the debate on referendum gaining momentum, the group opposed to the drive has now issued some conditions that must be fulfilled if they are to back the poll that is continuing to divide opinion.
Whereas ODM leader Raila Odinga has maintained that the referendum push is unstoppable, another faction allied to the Deputy President William Ruto has opposed the move saying that it is premature to amend the constitution.
However, according to Garissa Township MP Aden Duale who is also a close ally to Ruto, they will only support the dive if it is not geared towards reducing the number of constituencies, creation of new positions and merging of counties.
"As the patron of the Pastoralists Parliamentary Group, we will not agree to a referendum where constituencies are reduced, counties merged, and positions created. We will only support a referendum that will increase the resources given to county governments to 45 per cent. For now, we are waiting for the proponents of the referendum to share with us the referendum questions," Duale told Daily Nation's weekly interactive segment.
The DP recently declared that he had no problem with the referendum, only to make a u-turn days later, dismissing the drive saying it is for 'idlers'.
