Already, politicians have taken sides regarding the issue, amid claims that it will propose major constitutional changes, with groups opposing and supporting it in equal measure.

But Manyora says that the BBI report might struggle should it propose a parliamentary system, basing on the fact that it might mean the nation's head will be picked in parliament.

He says that unless the issue of constituency boundary is addressed, as they currently don't show the actual situation on the ground, then it will be a negative for Kenyans.

He says that the MPs from Central Kenya will not support it, feeling unfairly treated since their constituencies have so many voters yet others have lesser ones and have been split into two.

And intending to have a say in electing the head, the region might oppose it, feeling that it can make a bigger effect though the one man one vote system than through the parliament.

"Many people feel there was a lot of dishonesty when constituency boundaries were reviewed. Small constituencies were split into two, other small places were given constituencies. You can cite Vihiga was split into two, Suba, Mvita and many others," he wrote in an article on the Star on Monday.

He says that until this issue is solved and everyone feels satisfied with the boundaries, the changes might face major rejection once out.

Already, pundits have observed that Mt Kenya is opposed to parliamentary system on grounds that it will no longer have the ability to have one of its own at the top, as it has not much MPs.

On the other hand, the community has always dominated the others in presidentisl elections due to its huge population, which has been seen as tnw reason why the politicians are rooting for one man-one vote system.
