Corruption has been an enemy of progress in Kenya since we obtained independence. But to President Uhuru Kenyatta it is a disease which the cure has not been found.
But Third Way alliance under the able leadership of Ekuru Aukot has come up radical proposals that would end their minting spree behind bars.
The party proposes to alter at least nine of the 18 chapters in the Constitution, with far-reaching amendments on chapter eight, the legislature.
If IEBC gives the nod to the one million signatures that would be presented by the Ekuro Aukot led-party, Kenya would head to the ballot even as other political players present their views to the Building Bridges Initiative.
Other chapters that the Aukot team proposes to amend include devolution, the executive, public finance, bill of rights, leadership and integrity, representation of the people as well as commissions and independent offices.
In a radical proposition to make corruption dire, Aukot wants a life sentence imposed for culprits convicted of corruption and theft of public funds.
No presidential pardon and amnesty will be applicable in these cases.
He also proposes that corruption and theft of public resources cases to be tried within 30 days and all appeals to be exhaustively concluded within 15 days.
