President Uhuru Kenyatta has said constitutional change will not solve the problem Kenyans are facing.
While making his Madaraka Day speech on June 1, Uhuru tactfully sent a message to his new found ally Raila Odinga over his push for constitutional review.
The President said the current constitution is good.
"The work we are called to do is to build trust and then change hearts and minds. We have many laws in Kenya and a fine Constitution. It is not the letter that will get us to our destination, it is the spirit that we have when obeying the law," Uhuru said.
The Head of State wants communities to stop seeing each other suspiciously and instead embrace one another.
"That is why I am fighting hard to implement the 'Big Four' agenda. Its pillars seek to directly benefit the lives of citizens, particularly those who are having the toughest time," he said.
He added: "This is the truth, and we need to deal with it as leaders and as citizens. Unity is like an engine for a nation that hopes to escape the destructive pull of poverty and civil conflict, and even civil war. There are many different moving parts, but they are all joined in driving forward the vehicle so that it can achieve escape velocity."
Raila has been pushing for a change of the constitution to create a parliamentary system of governance as well as add more position which he says are meant to accommodate more communities into the government.
