Raila receives back up from Uthamaki rising Kingpin ahead of referendum

The Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga idea for referendum is gaining momentum. His idea of making the President position less powerful is slowly shifting to be the next big thing.

Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has now declared support for Raila Odinga’s referendum push.

In an interview on Radio Jambo on Wednesday evening, the lawmaker endorsed the push to revert the nation to the initial parliamentary governance system.

Ngunjiri said the system is the only way that the nation can to some extent slay the corruption dragon and bring accountability among Cabinet Secretaries.

“I support the push to have ministers appointed from the parliament because that way we can always be able to question them whenever suspicious activities are detected in their dockets,” said the firebrand parliamentarian.

He noted that the current presidential system is frustrating the war against graft as the CSs are completely out of the reach of the legislative houses.

He said that current ministers have portrayed pride during grilling sessions, hiding behind the fact that they are only answerable to the president to dishonor summons.

“We want a system where when something is detected we are able to directly hold the minister accountable. The current ones are using the system to avoid answering questions,” he added.

Raila and his team are also pushing for the expansion of the executive which will see the reintroduction of the prime minister position and two deputies.
