There are hidden ambitions behind every move politicians make that voters will never guess as they are experts of blinding ordinary citizens with crafted words.
The referendum debate is yet again growing in Kenya with leaders taking different sides all advising Wanjiku that their stand is to make her life better.
The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has dared Deputy President William Ruto to walk out of Government if he does not support the proposed constitutional amendments through a referendum.
Speaking exclusively to KTN News, on Monday 24th December 2018, Atwoli said majority of Kenyan leaders including President Uhuru Kenyatta are pushing for a more inclusive government that requires constitutional amendments that can be approved through a referendum.
“If you don’t want it and as a deputy President, what you can do is what Jaramogi Oginga Odinga did in 1966, you just walk out of government,” said Atwoli, referring to Deputy President William Ruto.
Atwoli has advised Ruto to form his own team to oppose the proposed referendum and Kenyans will decide whether to pass it or not.
According to Atwoli, a referendum will yield a more inclusive government that can bring all Kenyans on board to ensure nobody dies, gets hurt or loses property because of elections.
“For us to have peaceful elections we must revisit our constitution particularly in the area of governance, so that this issue of whoever wins takes it all is rejected by Kenyans,” said Atwoli.
He said President Kenyatta is still young and can still participate actively in the leadership of the country after serving his two terms; if a referendum is held to create new positions that can allow him (Kenyatta) serve Kenyans in a different capacity.
Do you think Atwoli wishes for a referendum so that Uhuru can vie again?
