Referendum is inevitable that is with no doubt. Most politicians have started being vocal about the idea of changing the constitution bearing in mind that Former Prime Minister said it is a product of “copy and paste.”

More than 25 MPs have said they will support the referendum if the changes to the Constitution are aimed at transforming the lives of Kenyans.

The legislators said they are not scared of the exercise so long focus is on creation of job opportunities for Kenyans and not individual gains.
