According to Jubilee chairman, the two have abandoned their electrolytes and are busy pursuing their personal interest.

Addressing press at Sagana town Mr Wakang'ara described the legislatures from Mt Kenya region who voted against the BBI bill as traitors who have sold their soul to the highway bidder.

He said that the bill is very progressive and puts for the needs of Mt Kenya region in forefront and no elected leader from the region should oppose it.

The Chairman noted that if the bill is passed during referendum, Kirinyaga county will benefit with additional one constituency which he noted they have always agitated in the last ten years.

In the same voice Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru while speaking at Kagio St. Emmanuel PCEA church on Sunday said that it was encouraging to see some MPs who were very opposed to the Initiative change their mind upon reading the document and voted yes after understanding what it has.

“I don’t blame those who  started criticizing and opposing the initiative which was mooted soon after the famous hand shake between president Uhuru Kenyatta and the ODM Leader Raila Odinga  for they had not taken time to look at the document "she told the worshipers.

The governor also took the opportunity to urge the Senate to pass the document overwhelmingly like the National Assembly did last week.

“Once this document becomes law, our county will be receiving Sh 8.2 billion up from  the current Sh 4.2  billion meant  to develop all  the 20 Wards in our county, pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure ,”she said.
