President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga on Sunday gave a clearest indication of a referendum, both anchoring speeches at peace and prosperity.
The country is expected to go for a referendum, a move that could see introduction of parliamentary system of government, which is being rooted by Mr Odinga.
Building Bridges Initiative taskforce team is set to handover a report to Raila and Uhuru soon, with sources indicating that the document is ready.
Commenting on his ‘handshake’ with Mr Odinga last year, President Kenyatta said: “Heroism, patriotism and love for our country exhibited by our independence era evaders persist to this day as embodied in the historic handshake through which political divides were breached for the sake of peace and a better Kenya.”
Mr Odinga said the handshake was meant to improve the country’s leadership by bringing unity, fighting corruption, ethnicity and political division.
“It is for that reason that the BBI is coming. How many of us are supporting it?” Mr Odinga posed amid cheers from the expectant crowd.
Deputy President William Ruto has often accused the BBI team, insisting that the Constitution cannot be amended in boardrooms and hotels.
On Friday, Ruto said the document must be subjected to the people for scrutiny before any changes are effected. He has opposed creation of more executive posts.
