Renowned Economist and National Super Alliance (NASA) technical advisor David Ndii has created a petition to divide the country into two halves.
Ndii notes that for the past 54 years of Kenya's independence, the country has consistently been ruled by two communities yet it is a country with 44 tribes.
He submits that successive Kenyan governments have perpetuated a culture of impunity through rigged elections that deny Kenyans from other tribes the ability to self-determine and even grow economically.
"In the wake of a rigged 2017 election and the subsequent killings and fact ethnic cleansing taking place in the country, it is time we charted our own course as people who believe in change," he stated.
In the draft petition, he singles out regions such as Nyanza, Western, Turkana and the Coast region as areas which should be separated from Central, Nairobi and Rift Valley.
He further notes that the draft would be lodged at the Africa Human Rights Commission in Banjul, Gambia.
"We the people of Western Kenya (Luhya, Luo, Teso, Kuria, Kisii), Coastal Kenya (Swahilis, Mijikenda, Pokomo, Giriamas, Taitas, Tavetas), North Western Kenya (Turkana, Pokot) in accordance with article 20 of the Africa Charter on Human and People's Rights (ACHPR) 1986.
"We the people of the above-stated communities in Kenya intend to file a complaint with ACHPR in Gambia to grant us rights of self-determination of forming our own state as provided for in Article 20 (1) and 20(2) of the rights," the petition reads.
According to the articles cited by Mr Ndii, colonized or oppressed people shall have the right to free themselves from the bonds of domination by resorting to any means recognized by the international community.
He concludes by urging Kenyans to append their signatures to the document to allow him to submit it to the Commission.
Kenyans.co.ke confirmed that as at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, the petition being signed online had already gotten support from 2,240 people.
The petition was received with mixed reactions with a section of Kenyans accepting the call, while others dismissed it.
