The One thing Mudavadi believes will pull back referendum

Referendum seems to take the waves in the new year 2019 following speculations from different leaders. President Uhuru Kenyatta has backed the move to have the constitution amended. The calls are however strongly opposed by Deputy President Dr William Ruto who believes that it is aimed at creating government posts for some individuals.

With possibilities of Kenya holding a referendum in 2019 growing higher, some of those spearheading for the amendments seem not contented with one thing.

The electoral commission cannot be trusted to conduct a free and fair referendum according to ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi.

“In 2017, the IEBC put the country on the brink of war,” Mudavadi said.

He said the Auditor General has raised queries over misuse of funds at the agency.

“If this is the referee that will conduct the referendum, how can Kenyans have faith?” said Mudavadi.
