Ford Kenya Party Leader Moses Wetang’ula today held a presser at his Kanduyi home. The Bungoma Senator was accompanied by two Bungoma MCAs.
The Senator was quick to bash DP William Ruto over his latest remarks on the Referendum. The DP has time and again insisted that that the calls for referendum are being spearheaded by idlers.
The DP yesterday during a tour of the Western region went as far as saying that a there is no place for a referendum meant to create leadership positions for individuals.
Wetangula, who seemingly supports the Referendum has now said that Kenyans voted for the Constitution “with the right to determine the fate of the same, including its change.”
The Bungoma Senator told journalists that the country must go back to a parliamentary system or a mixed system.
He describe the current government as “restrictive” and one which cannot be banked on to unite the country.
Wetang’ula warned Ruto saying he risks being “consumed by the force of the good idea that has come.”
“When a good idea comes, those who are resisting it must learn from history that they stand a risk of being consumed by its force.”
The lawmaker said that with like-minded leaders, he will champion for a referendum “not because we (proponents) want accommodate a few individuals.”
He said those who could be salivating for positions in the changed draft that have no guarantee that they will get it.
“There are people who pushed hard for the current Constitution thinking they will benefit from it with positions but to date they haven’t,” Wetang’ula said.
