An elected independent MCA in Kisii County has claimed that ODM party leader Raila Odinga is desperately pushing for constitutional changes since he fears the current constitution won't favor him in 2022.
Moticho ward MCA Evans Omwansu said Raila is taking advantage of the handshake to push for the referendum.
"This man Raila is just worried about his age ahead of the 2022 general elections. He is desperately pushing for referendum since he knows his age won't allow him participate in the 2022 polls," he noted.
According to the ward representative, the historic handshake doesn't mean that Raila to be supported.
"The former Prime Minister is misusing the handshake which is meant to unite Kenyans but, not pushing for constitutional changes purposely to have him favored in 2022," said Omwansu.
He wondered why the opposition leader is actively in politics even after he was appointed to serve at the AU.
"I'm urging Raila to concentrate on his AU job and leave alone young people to play politics of this country. As a country we should avoid planning for events such as constitutional changes which will be too costly," he added.
