The Orange Democratic Movement party has earmarked two major issues which it will push for in the final touches of the Building Bridges Initiative report.
BBI team is expected to collect final views before it recommends certain constitutional changes ahead of 2022 polls.
Introduction of powerful Prime Minister in Parliamentary system tops the ODM agenda. The push has been made public in the last three BBI rallies.
Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi says the party will support the parliamentary system but added that hybrid system is also acceptable.
“We want a prime minister with responsibilities and sufficient powers, but make it clear who is supreme. The president can still have more powers to avoid two centres of power,” said
ODM Chairman John Mbadi also says the party will push for regional governments which are famously called third-tier level.
Critics of this system argue that it's meant to create positions for outgoing second term serving county chiefs.
“The BBI report was released so that we can make further contributions. There is no mischief; we are just being open about our position,” said Mbadi.
Mbadi claimed that regional governments would make more economic sense compared to the current governance structure.
“If more roles are handed to the regional governments, this will cut down recurrent expenditure. The counties should be reduced to service delivery centres as opposed to the heavy government structure we currently have,” said Mbadi.
