Thirty-five Busia District council members have passed a motion to create Lumino District.
Busia District Speaker Charles Malowa Kudedi said the resolution came after 35 council members unanimously voted “yes” for the motion that seeks to carve Lumino District out of Busia District.
“All the 35 members of this council voted yes by secret ballot. I therefore declare the motion for the creation of Lumino District passed,” Kudedi ruled, adding that “the resolution will be forwarded to the Minister of Local Government for further consideration.”
Wednesday’s resolution comes amid plans by government to lift a 2021 ban on creation of new administrative units.
The motion for the creation of Lumino District was as a private member’s bill by Lunyo Sub-county councillor Onyango Wasumba.
