The Chairperson of the National Constitutional Amendment Committee says
there is need to revisit the peace agreement to match the number of states
with the ones that practically exist.

Gichara Kibara said the current number of states is not matching with the
ten in the peace agreement.After the creation of more states in 2015, the
Transitional Constitution 2011 was amended by the National
Legislature.“First one is to incorporate the agreement as it is it because
that is our responsibility to incorporated all the requirement of the
agreement into the constitution,” Mr. Kibara said.

But Mr Gichara said the agreement overrides the constitution in case of
conflicting provisions.He says the peace agreement, based on ten states,
has been incorporated into the draft constitution, which has been presented
to the Ministry of Justice.“The other is we have advise there is need to
revise the issue of the states. Because even if we put them in law as ten
and on the ground they are 32 we are not helping,” he said.

Currently, there are 32 states.
