The launching of the latest book by Kisumu Governor Anyang'Nyong'o could evoke yet another debate over the country's government system with at least 36 months to the general elections.
Already, Deputy President William Ruto has rejected any calls to have the constitution amended to expand the executive, a move that has already been backed by Mr Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Prof Nyong'o, a close ally of Raila, launched his 'Presidential or Parliamentary Democracy in Kenya?', a book whose content Mr Odinga endorsed when it was being unveiled at the University of Nairobi on Tuesday.
Until now, the deal between President Uhuru and Raila that led to handshake last year is not yet know, but the two have been calling for inclusivity, a move that is interpreted as expansion of the executive.
During the launch, Mr Odinga supported the Parliamentary system, which be insisted would reduce violence that is usually triggered by disputed presidential results.
"A Parliamentary system is viewed as a better way to raise the majority threshold in a country where tribes view each other with suspicion in the contest for power.
"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.
Mr Odinga also insisted that the Building Bridges Initiative report will address issues such as lack of national ethos, inclusivity and divisive elections, an indication that Kenya could adopt Parliamentary system.
In the system, Kenya shall have an Executive Prime Minister and deputies with the President remaining the Head of State. The system will accommodate more people unlike the presidential system.
"In a nutshell, we have the challenge of how to re-strategize as a country and start over for the future as many successful nations have done.In our country today, we have strived to create this forum for reasoned debate through the Building Bridges to a New Kenyan Nation," he said
"That team is tackling nine key areas including Ethnic antagonism and competition, lack of national ethos, inclusivity, devolution, divisive elections, safety and security and corruption.All these critical question that require genuine debate."
By pushing for inclusivity, both Uhuru and Raila could be preparing the country for the Parliamentary system, which has been tried elsewhere within Commonwealth countries.
