The Building Bridges Initiative team is set to submit a report soon to President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, with the country expected to go for a referendum.

Mr Odinga is pushing for governance change, arguing that time has come for the country to adopt Parliamentary system, which he argues that is less divisive.

With Uhuru set to turn 60 in 2022 when his current term expires, COTU boss Francis Atwoli has been asking him to continue staying in power.

But at Naivasha, Uhuru dismissed claims that he's keen to remain in power, insisting that when his time to leave comes, be will not hesitate to do so.

"I will go home when that time comes. I have no interest in staying around and that is a promise. I am not interested in creating a position for myself," he said, defending BBI team.

Deputy President William Ruto has been opposing plans to change the constitution, arguing that the country is not ready for another referendum.

Constitutionally, Uhuru cannot go past 2022 given that he's serving his second term. He was first elected in 2013 after narrowly beating Raila Odinga.

Earlier at Embakasi in Nairobi, Uhuru asked men to respect women, making indirect reference to ongoing crisis within Nairobi County Assembly.

"Men respect women, don't go disrespecting them. Go and seduce them slowly, if you succeed, well and good, if not look for another one," he said.
