The Big Question

Are you for 2 or 3 Constituencies to be created out of the larger current Lurambi ? Facts: 1. Projected 2010 population - 330,000 2. Administrative divisions - 3 ( Lurambi aka Butsotso,Kakamega Municipality and Navakholo aka Bunyala) 3. Kakamega is the Provincial Headquarters therefore highly urban. 4. Registered Voters - 107,000 5. Polling Stations - 137
For an up-to date map of the Constituency map you may contact Alka Express Agencies on + 254 722693648. To make an informed decision, see the criteria set by the IIEC for subdivision of constituencies below:
1. Density of population, and in particular the need to ensure adequate representation of urban and sparsely populated rural areas.
2. Population trends. This addresses the shifting of people from one constituency to another, rural urban migration and population growth.
3. Means of communication
4.Geographical features
5. Community interest

Kakamega town is likely to experience an upsurge of population due to rural urban migration given it's likely new status within a devolved government. And for Community interests, Batsotsos are completely distinct from the Banyalas. Be it language, culture or socio-economic status.

We shall be informing you which side the prominent Lurambians are taking. Have your say.
