Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has unveiled his plan to create the post of a Prime Minister.
The lawmaker, who has been very vocal on matters of national interest, has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi, to get permission to draft an amendment on the same.
In a letter seen by Daily Nation, Kuria argues that there is no need for a referendum since they are going to affect the executive as well as parliament if affected.
The lawmaker also notes that the changes mean that the opposition is made stronger than before.
“They are clearly distinct from an Executive Prime Minister as leader of a government which would clearly have required a referendum as it is changing the structure of Executive and legislature,” said Mr Kuria, as quoted by Daily Nation.
If the speaker accepts Kuria's request, the legislator will then proceed to draft an amendment that will provide for the office of the Prime Minister and two deputies.
Kuria, who has already shown interest in the Presidential race in 2022, said that there is need to make the changes to transform the leadership of this nation.
The creation of PM’s post has been one of the subjects of major concern.
Deputy President William Ruto has been among those against the post.
He argues that the amendments in the constitution will not change the current situation in Kenya. He feels the main problem facing this nation are leaders who are not ready to accept defeat in elections.
