Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Gladys Shollei asserts that President Uhuru Kenyatta reached out to ODM leader Raila Odinga in a bid for political calm.
However, she notes, the handshake seems to have backfired, causing even more problems than the initial demonstrations and unrest that Raila and team were causing.
She on Tuesday said that while Uhuru wanted to tame Raila who was treating the nation to demonstrations, after rejecting Uhuru's 2017 reelection, the handshake is causing more harm.
She noted that it has given birth to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which according to her is a plot to push for a referendum, which she said would land the nation in more problems.
"The President went into the handshake to tame Raila Odinga but it has now turned into a monster especially now with the birth of BBI that pushes for a referendum. BBI is an illegal process," she said on Citizen TV's Daybreak.
According to Shollei, the option of a referendum, which Raila's allies have been telling Kenyans to prepare for, raises questions on what exactly that want to take Kenyans through.
She noted that some of the amendments that have been made by the group, like a return to the parliamentary system, can be done through the parliament, and doesn't require a referendum.
She warned Kenyans to be very afraid, pointing out that the referendum is likely to affect very sensitive sections of the constitution, namely devolution, bill of rights and the territories.
Shollei added that the other contentious sections are independence of the judiciary, functions of the parliament and the term of the president.
"When you hear anyone saying that they want to go you should be very afraid because they want to change the constitution because you can change the constitution from Parliament but there are six articles in the constitution that must go to a referendum," she added.
Raila and team have based their referendum push on the expansion of the executive and a return to the parliamentary system, which enjoys the support of some Jubilee Party members.
