Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader Dr Alfred Mutua new proposal would see Women Reps and the nominated Member of Parliament scrapped.
The Machakos Governor has called for an expanded National Executive to have a President, Deputy President, Prime Minister and two Deputy Prime Ministers with specific mandates.
Mutua who made presentations to the Building Bridges Initiate said presidential candidates be allowed to run or be nominated as Members of Parliament so as to lead their party agenda in Parliament.
“The current situation where very popular leaders are locked out of governance structures is partly responsible for the street demonstrations and violence because that’s the only forum left for these leaders to express their views and address their supporters,” said Mutua , who is the Machakos Governor.
He also proposed the President, Deputy President, Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to run for election on a joint ticket so that whichever political arrangement wins, it has a broad representation of the face of Kenya. The three should as well come from different communities and not more than two Cabinet Secretaries should come from the same ethnic community.
“This way, many communities will be part of the core Executive of the National Government,” said Mutua.
