Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has hit back at Opposition leader Raila Odinga over the Constitution change debate saying he should be the last person to comment on the issue.

Kuria said leaders who opposed the Constitution ahead of the 2010 referendum noticed shortcomings in the law but Raila gave the document a clean bill of health.

“You told us you had read it. I don’t know if you read it in reverse or the opposite way,” Kuria said.

He spoke on Saturday during the official opening of the Kinangop Technical and Vocational College by DP William Ruto.

“And by the way my friend, we are not an electric switch where if today you say [the Constitution] is good, it’s good, when you say it’s bad it’s bad. Are we fools,” Kuria posed.

Raila has been vocal about the need to amend the Constitution saying it will fix perennial problems that have been facing the country. Kuria said he was the first to propose constitutional amendments back in 2015 under the “Punguza Mzigo” tag before Raila hijacked it.

The MP said he still supports the idea but only for purposes of cutting the wage bill and not for creating new government positions.

“Now is when he [Raila] is seeing what I already saw. But some want us to change the Constitution to create positions so that when we vote, there won’t be chaos. It’s not a must to change the Constitution for peace to prevail during elections,” Kuria said.
