Opposition Leader Raila Odinga has poked holes in President William Ruto’s memorandum, noting that President’s memorandum presents proposals without recognizing the fact that BBI reports contained all those proposals coupled with the rationale on why they had been deemed necessary by the people of Kenya
Raila has now issued a statement, Ruto was not honest with BBI because what he is talking about in his memorandum had been arrested by BBI, and would be law today.
Raila has since demanded that proposals in Ruto’s memorandum cannot be presented as he has done nor processed through the procedure he is prescribing.
“He must comply with the same imperatives that he demanded during BBI,” Raila Odinga said in part.
The ODM leader went further and listed the following demands that he wants President Ruto to comply with, just like he stated when he challenged the BBI.
1. That a president cannot initiate constitutional amendments.
2. That amendments must start with the people.
3. That the process of the amendment be people driven.
4. That amendments must chiefly centre on the interests of the common man
