A youth lobby group is fighting hard to have the remaining Counties shoot down the BBI report.
The group led by Michael Rapudo and Evans Mutuma said BBI is not good for Kenyans.
Speaking at a Nairobi Hotel, Rapudo said the BBI proposes more than 600 MPs, over taxation and that this will lead to over -representation.
He also added that the BBI favors the rich and oppresses the poor.
“Why is it being shoved down the throats of Kenyans?” he posed.
23 county Assemblies unanimously approved the BBI Bill on Tuesday.
Thirty-five counties have approved so far approved it.
The lobby group – Youth against BBI said they will continue to campaign against the document.
“We will go out and campaign against this oppressive and bad document. Kenyans are not ready to pay more taxes. One region that is Central Kenya is going to have more than 40 constituencies. The other regions are getting one or two constituencies, and this is unfair. Marginalized Counites like Turkana will lose the equitable share of revenue. This is backwardness,” Rapudo said.
Mutuma added that Kenyans have the constitutional right to accept or deny a document without any coercion.
