DAP Kenya and Wiper Party Urge MPs to Approve the NADCO Report

By Shadrack Nyakoe

The Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka together with his Democratic Alliance Party (DAP) Kenya Eugine Wamalwa have called on the Members of Parliament to pass the National dialogue Committee (NADCO) resolutions without amendments.

The duo argue that the report resembles what the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was proposing for the benefit of all Kenyans.

Speaking at the Wiper Party Headquarter in Nairobi, Kalonzo stated that Devolution is the current abiding hallmark of the Constitution 2010.

“It must be mentioned that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)) was pragmatically clear on equality and equity for all regardless of area, tribe, race, and religion. We should as a matter of urgency consider the BBI provisions going forward as there are solutions to our current predicaments,” Kalonzo said.

He further emphasized that: “It is important that we strengthen not just all institutional ambits but focus and debunk the mostly individual, familial, and community thinking that ‘our time to eat’ is now because we are in government. That pragmatically devolved election cycles since 2013 have resulted in three-times plus the episodes of blatant theft of 15 percent allocation of public resources cannot continue to be the Kenyan narrative.”

DAP Kenya Party Leader Mr. Wamalwa noted that the NADCO Report advocated for an increase in County Budgetary allocation from 15% to 20%.

“I am of the opinion that this should be 35% with more checks and balances holding the county administrations responsible. We will then I believe realise our vision of having at least one properly funded and staffed National Secondary School as well as a Level 5 Hospital,” Wamalwa said.
