Residents and education stakeholders drawn from the newly formed Kabras West sub county have decried inequality in the recent demarcation from which saw them receive the least public resources including schools and technical colleges.
They blamed Malava MP Malulu Injendi of colluding with the administration to grab and have the most schools and colleges within the constituency allocated to Kabras East sub county.
The residents led by MCA Josephat Wakukha argued that out of the 53 secondary and 113 primary schools within the vast Malava constituency, the sub county only got 17 of the former and 44 of the latter with the remainder being allocated to Kabras East.
Speaking in Samitsi, Wakukha noted that Kabras East had got the lion’s share of the larger Malava constituency and amassed most infrastructure leaving his area bare.
He said that education was a critical pillar of development in any society and that politicians should cease meddling to gain political mileage.
Wakukha called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to intervene and give proper instructions terming the demarcation which was marked by the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) as politically instigated and did not consult the public.
