Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has now joined Siaya Senator James Orengo and his troops warning the sharing of 70 new constituencies “will divide the country”. In an apparent reference to his ODM party leadership, the Siaya senator said he has seen it all and will not yield to threats to abandon what is right. “It’s going to be very difficult for Wananchi to pass BBI if this issue of constituency is not looked at,” he said on Wednesday. The sacking of Otiende, according to Oparanya, was ill-informed and does not serve the general good of the party. The Wednesday statement was the second time Oparanya was contradicting ODM position of unconditionally supporting the constitutional amendments.
