Former Mungiki sect leader Maina Njenga now seeks the return of the abolished Prime Minister post, last seen during the defunct grand coalition government between 2008-2013.
Speaking to the Daily Nation on Thursday, Maina vowed to push for a referendum to realise the same, also proposing the establishment of two deputies before the 2022 election.
He vowed to use his new Amani Sasa Foundation outfit to have the constitutional amendments done, hoping to use the heavy youth following he had during his Mungiki days, which he says is still intact.
"We want changes in the constitution to increase positions within the presidency. The changes include re-introduction of the Prime Minister’s seat with two deputies,” he is quoted.
The new setup, he said, seeks to introduce 5 national leaders to be drawn from across the nation, including the President and the deputy.
The proposal has since received a backing from leaders allied to the ruling Jubilee Party who are closer to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The constitutional reforms supporters include Muranga and Meru Senators Irungu Kangata and Mithika Linturi respectively, both of whom are of the opinion that it's long overdue.
"We need to expand government to have all ethnic groups feel included. In constitutional theory terms, we need a consociation government for all ethnically divided society. Countries like Lebanon and Ireland expanded the executive,” Mr Kang’ata is quoted.
