During the meeting, Raila expressed his support for the one man one vote one shilling principle spearheaded by some leaders from the region.
“I want to agree with the phrase one man one vote one shilling. I am calling for equality and justice in governace. I am not a populist but I agree with this, devolution is about sharing resources in the country not equality” he stated
“One of the discussions in the Limuru 3 was the issue of resource sharing in the country somehow this issue has been misrepresented as it is discriminating against someparts of the country. Nothing could be further from the truth” he added
