Nyeri politicians on Saturday explained why the county missed out on the 70 extra constituencies in constitutional changes proposed in the BBI. But Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu, Governor Mutahi Kahiga and Tetu MP James Gichuhi said the county had to forgo the extra slots to retain the three protected constituencies - Tetu, Mukurwe-ini and Othaya. They spoke during the launch of BBI signature collection outside the regional commissioner’s offices in Nyeri town on Saturday. “I want to urge all registered voters in Nyeri Town constituency to go to the closest assistant chief’s office and sign,” he said. Others present included Nyeri county commissioner Loyford Kibaara and Nyeri Central deputy county commissioner Joseph Mwangi, while Kieni MP Kanini Kega was represented.
