Even before the official unveiling of Building Bridges Initiative report, DP William Ruto and Raila Odinga's teams continue to fault each other over constitutional changes.
While Mr Odinga insists that the country must go to a referendum to fix certain issues, Dr Ruto has often dismissed the move, arguing that Odinga should accept defeat in polls.
On Tuesday, the foot soldiers for the two leaders maintained tough stand on the proposed bill, with both defending their school of thoughts over the proposals.
Minority Leader John Mbadi insisted the the changes are necessary, arguing that they are not meant to benefit Mr Odinga.
“Raila is here for a period but the country will still have the positions and systems of government even when he is out of politics,” Mr Mbadi said.
“Let them hold their horses until the BBI report is released. No one can be sure of what it will recommend. It behoves the DP to control his troops,” said Mr Wandayi Opiyo.
ODM secretary-general Edwin Sifuna and Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o called for patience until the BBI team hands over its reporter.
“Let us wait for the BBI proposals to come out first, then we can sensibly comment. I cannot anticipate debate by a premature and judgmental commentary,” said Prof Nyong’o.
Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, however, led a team of Mr Ruto’s allies in telling off Mr Odinga’s lieutenants.
“They are only ‘pretending’, yet they know that the position of Prime Minister is what they are looking for.“ These are people trying to gain power through the backdoor because they have realised that they can’t win an election,” Mr Cherargei said.
“Kenya is over-represented. We need a lean executive and sizeable legislature to avoid a lot of expenses.”
MP Caleb Kositany said Kenyans should change their mindset. “No matter how many times we change the Constitution and our minds remain the same, we will never get it right.
“What we need is to accept that there can only be one leader at a time and accept election results,” he said.
