With President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila odinga’s Building Bridges initiative prepare to hand in a final report on the looming referendum, the debate seem to have taken a new twist.
With different leaders in the country giving their own opinions on referendum, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria who is currently running a Team Wanjiku initiative alongside Governor Mike Sonko opines that the next referendum will be held on the 9th August 2022.
According to the controversial MP, this will be alongside the 2022 General Elections as the 7th ballot.
Kuria says people cannot be interrupting Kenyans’ lives in the mid-terms to hold referenda.
Through his facebook page post, Kuria believes people want to change the constitution anytime to suit your whims.
The lawmaker suggests that those interested in changing the constitution should wait for every 5 years to do so.
“I agree we need to remove the 1,000 nominated MCAs, Scrap the women rep positions and remove the Senate? Great. Let’s do it in 2022,” reads part of his post.
He further suggests that in the interim the Country will use parliament for the urgent reforms ahead of 2022.
Among his urgent issues on the referendum is scrapping the senate.
“By the way the most urgent is scrapping the Senate. The main business of the Senate is to add various billions to the governors in the pretence of protecting devolution then turn back and demand the same from governors to protect them from Senate oversight. You will burn in hell,” reads his post.
