A day after President Uhuru Kenyatta insisted that the country is not ready for a referendum, a section of leaders have faulted his latest remarks.
In his Madaraka Days's function, Uhuru said that all the country needs is honesty within the leadership fraternity.
"Kenya has many laws and a good constitution. Our problems cannot be solved by changing them rather, we need to be honest in whatever we do," he said.
For months now, Raila has been pushing for constitutional changes with parliamentary system of government being among his top agenda.
Former Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire has yet again taken a swipe on Uhuru, accusing him of sabotaging peace.
"We all know that the country is suffering from tribal leadership and constitutional changes are inevitable. Uhuru should be sincere and admit this problem," he said.
Borabu MP Ben Momanyi added: "The remedy to our tribal differences is parliamentary system of government. The president has no choice but to accept this."
A committee that was established to implement issues agreed by Uhuru and Raila is set to tender its recommendations in 12 months time.
While Uhuru has recently changed tune, his deputy William Ruto, has publicly denounced constitutional amendment plans.
