[Photo|Reuters]Opposition leader Raila Odinga has dropped a bombshell over what he wants days after the controversial October 26 fresh presidential election.The election which saw President Uhuru Kenyatta declared president-elect, was boycotted by Odinga's National Super Alliance (Nasa) coalition and its supporters countrywide.During an interview with Reuters, Odinga revealed he wants an interim government to run the country for six months as the constitution gets reviewed to curb the president’s authority.He said he was open to talks with President Kenyatta over a constitutional review that will lower the risk of violence from minority groups who feel excluded from power.“A pure presidential system enhances ethnicity because each community believes that they are not safe unless their man is at the top. We had a new constitution that we enacted in 2010. We think that now it is time to revisit it,” Odinga said during the interview in his office on Tuesday.According to Odinga, a constitutional review will strengthen institutions like the electoral commission and cut down the powers of the presidency."We think that maybe six months will be required to carry out all these changes that we need in this country," Odinga who has since declared he does not recognise Uhuru as president, said.
