Kalonzo asks for backing in vote campaign

By  NATION CORRESPONDENT

Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka Sunday urged Ukambani residents to rally behind him and support the referendum proposed by Cord.

Speaking during the burial of former Mbooni MP Fredrick Mulinge Kalulu in Kitundu village, Makueni, Mr Kalonzo said the referendum was not an option.
“We want the Jubilee government to know that referendum is not optional. We have to do it for the change in poor governance,” he said.

Mr Kalonzo said that one of the major reforms to be realised through the referendum is the disbandment of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
He said lawyer Kethi Kilonzo would be one of those nominated to sit in the professional committee which will formulate the referendum questions.

Speaking at the event, Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana said leaders in Ukambani would follow Mr Musyoka - the Wiper party leader.

But Yatta MP Francis Mwangangi differed with his colleagues saying it was too soon to call for a referendum to change the Constitution.
