The Young Professionals League is today from 2:00pm set to accompany the CORD Summit of Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, Senator Moses Wetangula led by the Rt Hon Raila Odinga as they attend the Dagoretti North constituency sukuma wiki cutting competition and thereafter disburse bursaries at Kabiro Primary School. Yesterday in Vihiga County, Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga asked President Uhuru Kenyatta not to assent to the Division of Revenue Bill 2013 on grounds that the National Assembly has significantly reduced funds allocated to the county governments. Raila Odinga noted that the Senate had proposed Sh258 billion for devolution but legislators reduced it to Sh210 billion. Raila Odinga said that signing the Bill would amount to killing devolution and not honouring the new Constitution that Kenyans voted for overwhelmingly. “The move will hurt Kenyans who knew devolution will bring development to the counties,” he said. He said Uhuru should make sure the relevant authorities amend the Bill before it is brought back to him. Raila spoke at Ebusiratsi Secondary School during the thanksgiving ceremony of Vihiga Senator, George Khaniri. Siaya and Bungoma senators James Orengo and Moses Wetangula, MPs Fredrick Outa, Alfred Agoi, Charles Gimose and Wilbur Otichillo accompanied him.
