Busia and West Pokot County assembly are the latest assemblies to adopt the Building Bridges Initiative Bill.
In Busia, a majority of the MCAs voted for the bill which was opposed by one MCA.
On the other, West Pokot MCAs unanimously approved the bill citing increased allocation, equalisation fund and Ward development fund as some of the issues that made them adapt the bill.
The bill was tabled at the house on Tuesday by the Leader Majority Thomas Ngolesia and it was seconded by Leader of Minority Peter Lokor.
West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo and Pokot South MP David Pkosing were in attendance during the passing of the bill.
West Pokot becomes the first county assembly in Rift Valley to pass the constitutional amendment bill.
So far 5 county assemblies have adapted the bill which requires at least the support of 24 counties before it proceeds to the National Assembly .
