Speaking at her Nyangori and Nyagancha homes in Nyamira, Jerusha said the post should be elective. 

She emphasised on the need for Kenyans to read the document, and understand the various recommendations before making a decision.

"The country needs a powerful prime minister whose office is not subordinate to anybody. That's why we want every Kenyan to extensively read the BBI report and have a say on the kind of leadership that they need. Let no one influence, anyone, in any manner in terms of interpretation and giving of views," she said as quoted by Standard.

She further applauded the BBI report for ensuring gender equity, and advised women to support it.

"The views expressed in the report with regard to gender are very perfect and if they are articulated in the country's laws, then Kenyan women will be winners. I am imagining a situation where we are going to have a male governor and a female deputy; a male manager who is deputised with a woman or vise versa. That way, we shall have ended male dominance in the country's offices." she added.
