Ever since President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga resolved to work together in the handshake deal, factions have emerged with the looming referendum being the main bone of contention ahead of 2022.
As it is, Uhuru and Raila are on record saying that constitutional amendments by way of the referendum is a must if the country is to remain united.
However, former Lagdera MP Farah Maalim is seemingly in agreement with the duo, a thing that is likely to spark speculations as to whether he is secretly working for the duo.
Going by one of his latest social media posts, it is now a fact that Maalim is for the proposed referendum. However, his main concern is to tame the Parliament from exploiting the taxpayers.
"Nobody in public office should have a role in determining how much is enough for him or her. The salaries & remuneration commission must be shielded from rogue parliaments through a constitutional amendment. Independent commissions must be truly independent. MPs' overly overpaid," Maalim said in a tweet.
Given the massive following that the former MP enjoys in the expansive North Eastern region, it will not be a surprise to see Uhuru and Raila work with him in popularising the referendum campaigns in the region.
