- Parliamentary committee says Naivasha retreat could save draft
The party said devolution should be in tiers — national, regional and county levels — to achieve equity for all in development.
Laikipia West MP Nderitu Muriithi yesterday accused Committee of Experts on Constitutional Reforms of short-changing Kenyans by inserting a clause that gives parliament powers to elect the country’s executive.
Mr Muriithi said Kenyans did not allow the CoE to usurp their role of choosing their chief executive.
The people were shocked to learn that the draft had another clause saying Kenyans wanted a hybrid system where the President and the Prime Minister share power.
