Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior has said that he foresees two referendums before 2022.
In an interview with KTN’s Point Blank, Mutula said that the recent twist of events shows that we are likely to end up with two referendums. He said that both Punguza Mzigo and Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) cannot be ignored.
“The possibility of having two referendums is alive, and it can happen,” he said.
Mutula asked the BBI team to consider coming up with a referendum law after completing the compilation of the report.
He said that the law will act as a guideline towards the realization of the goals of the government.
“While BBI finishes their report, they must similarly come up with a referendum law. And one of the issues is electoral reforms,” he said.
On Punguza Mizigo, Mutula said that the fact that it has discriminated against women makes it dead on arrival.
He noted that the nation has more than half of the its population being women and a referendum that wants to suppress them is headed nowhere at the end of the day.'
“PunguzaMizigo got it wrong by trying to discriminate the 47 women who are carrying special interests. Women in Kenya are more than 50%,” he added.
