Majority Leader Aden Duale believes presidential system contributes to inequality among Kenyan communities and should be scrapped off.
The Garissa Town MP's remarks is an indication that he no longer speaks from the same script with Deputy President William Ruto, who has dismissed constitutional changes.
In an interview with the Standard, Duale on Monday insisted that Kenya must adopt a pure parliamentary system of government.
According to him, the system will give opportunities to smaller communities to also have a say in government unlike in the presidential set up.
"What I support is a pure parliamentary system of government. We must do away with the presidential team. A parliamentary system will ensure inclusivity in government," Mr Duale said.
On Sunday in Vihiga, Deputy President William Ruto insisted that the country is not ready for changes, accusing Raila Odinga of allegedly using Handshake to push for creation of PM post.
“Politicians have perfected the art of sitting in high-end hotels and offices to make legislation for the people. But people have become cleverer now. It is not possible to use a short cut to change the Constitution,” Ruto said.
Last week, Mr Odinga insisted that the heterogeneous composition of the country gives parliamentary system an upper hand than the presidential system.
“Parliamentary system is generally suitable for plural societies; that is societies in which the political landscape is composed of diverse cultural, religious, ethnic, racial and regional interests, and that is what Kenya is,” he said.
The country is expected to go for a referendum early next year after the Building Bridges Initiative team releases official report on recommendations.
