Parliament to reopen early to discuss draft law

According to the Constitution of Kenya Review Act 2008, which guides the process, the PSC was required to deliberate and create consensus on the contentious issues as recommended by the experts. The Act also indicates that; “If the Parliamentary Select Committee reaches agreement on the draft constitution, the Committee of Experts shall revise the draft constitution taking into account the achieved consensus.”

According to Mr Kitonga, his team is required by law to adopt the Naivasha agreement on the four contentious issues. But though not compelled by the law to accept all other proposal, the experts may be morally obliged to do so.
