Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o has thrown his weight behind the proposed changes to revert the nation to the initial parliamentary system of governance.
Kenya is currently operating under a presidential system, which a number of politicians have challenged, proposing amendments to abolish it, specifically through a referendum.
Speaking on Monday, the county boss backed the move, observing that Kenya, being a multicultural society, has proved that it cannot operate well under the current setup.
As a panelist on NTV's AM Live, he stated that for political stability and national unity, there is need for Cabinet Secretaries to be picked from Parliament as was the case before.
"I have always felt that a presidential system is not the best in a multicultural society like ours. Parliamentary systems have worked better in countries with multicultural societies in terms of political stability and national unity," he said.
He also faulted the Kenyan culture where elections are translated as issues of life and death, which has repeatedly seen Kenyans slip into wrangles after most elections.
According to the politician, this is completely different to what should be the case, observing that polls should instead be a unifying exercise and a means of political stability.
"It is important that elections: don’t cost us so dearly every time we hold them, become a means of stabilising society politically, and provide a political framework for development," he added.
