National Super Alliance (NASA) call for constitutional amendments has continued to receive support, even from unlikely quarters.
Jubilee Party leaders who previously opposed the changes have toned down their voices, welcoming the reforms to address current political stalemate.
Speaking to journalists in Eldoret, MPs Caleb Kositany (Soy) and Vincent Tuwei (Mosop) said they were ready to support any changes to the much-acclaimed 2010 Constitution that seeks to promote and protect the lives of Kenyans.
"We are ready even if it means going for a referendum as long as it is for the good of the 45 million citizens," said Tuwei on Saturday.
Kositany told NASA leaders to use Parliament in championing their rights, instead of making public announcements.
"Let the Opposition table the issues they want to be addressed in both the Senate and National Assembly. The country has frameworks that can be used to find solutions to issues affecting citizens," the MP said.
Same sentiments have been expressed by Cherang'any MP Joshua Kutuny and National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale.
The politicians dropped their hardline positions, saying they were ready to support minimum reforms to address some of the issues raised by NASA.
"As Jubilee, we will support a parliamentary process and any amendments to the Constitution that is in the interest of 45 million Kenyans," Duale told Saturday Standard.
