Jubilee coalition leaders have termed the referendum push by the opposition as misleading, ill-timed and without an agenda.
The team says that the opposition, led by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) is getting signatures from Kenyans without telling them the agenda of the referendum.
The leaders, who spoke at a fundraiser event held at St Patrick's primary school in Thika town, also claimed that Cord-driven referendum push had no basis.
Turkana West MP Joyce Emaniko said that the opposition should wait until they are given the chance to lead and not destabilise the government in its operations.
She said: “For them (Cord), they are making tries by talking. For us, we talk and implement. We will work for you till the term is over.”
Aden Duale, leader of majority in the national assembly, said that the issues not being disclosed could be a pointer to the opposition’s hidden agenda.
“Who knows whether they want to introduce homosexuality and abortion in the country by the referendum? Who knows whether they want to change the system of governance in Kenya? The opposition should disclose to Kenyans what indeed they want before getting signatures from them,” Duale said.
Senate majority leader Kithure Kindiki said that the senate and the national assembly will work on any proposed laws without Kenyans going to the ballot again.
Already, Kieni MP Kanini Kega is expected in court today to seek direction on the legality of the opposition’s move to collect signatures from Kenyans without disclosing what they want to change in the constitution.
He accused the opposition of using land as a disguise to get signatures from Kenyans.
