Veteran politician Koigi Wa Wamwere now says that ODM leader Raila Odinga is unhappy with the suggestions of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) taskforce, which he helped birth.
Since the launch of the report on Wednesday, Raila and his team, who had initially declared full support for the BBI, have changed the heart and now want the document looked into by Kenyans.
Wamwere says that the former Prime Minister could be feeling shortchanged, adding that chances are high that whatever he wanted to be included in the report is not there.
He notes that Raila might have been tricked, as otherwise, being an insider in the taskforce's activities, he would have had his suggestions included and would be comfortable with it.
"I don't understand how what he wanted was excluded yet he was in the decision-making table. It's possible it was switched before release or some things were included without his consent (Sielewi vile Raila alikuwa ndani ya maamuzi yale kisha alichotaka kikakosa kuwepo. Huenda ilifanyiwa mabadiliko kabla ya kutoka, ama mambo yaliwekwa mle bila ya ruhusa yake)," he said on Saturday evening.
The former Subukia lawmaker spoke on Radio Sauti Ya Mwananchi's Cheche Show.
He said that in the event that Raila was shortchanged or tricked, then he should be expected to turn against the document and fight it until he is heard out.
"We can now see the anger in his camp. He might have chosen to keep silent and fight it once it is released (Sasa tunaona hasira upande wake, huenda aliona anyamaze ili ikitoka waipige upinzani)," he added.
Raila has insisted that the report must only be implemented through a referendum and not via the parliament as is being pushed by a section of rival politicians.
Some of his allies like Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina have also questioned the additional powers handed to the president under the report.
The report also excludes some of the changes the leader has been pushing for, including the introduction of an executive Prime Minister, a three-tier government and parliamentary system.
