Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri has refuted claims that referendum is a plot to engineer the fall of Deputy President Dr. William Ruto.
This legislator issued the statement in response to Dr. Ruto and some of his allies who have read malice in the contemplated constitutional changes in the country .
Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale is among those who argue that the sole agenda of the objective was to frustrate the deputy president’s future ambitions. Posting on his Facebook page, the legislator has called on politicians to stop making the referendum issue a means to selfish gains.
He has said that the plebiscite is neither meant to stop Mr.Ruto from being president, create a job for Raila nor force Uhuru out of power through retirement.
The member of parliament has rather noted that there were gaps in governance structure, especially the issue of inclusivity. He asked the leaders to stop personalizing the referendum debate.
He added that; “the coming referendum is about creating a governance structure that is all inclusive to stop elections from being a do-or-die event. It is also about ensuring that the minority have their say but the majority have their way.”
“The coming referendum is not about creating a retirement position for Uhuru Kenyatta, creating a job for Raila Odinga, or stopping William Ruto from being (an all-powerful) President,” observed Mr.Ngunjiri.
