EX-CS Kiunjuri Makes u-turn, support push to amend Constitution

The Service Party leader Mwangi Kiunjuri has changed tune on proposed constitutional amendments through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

Speaking on Sunday during a church service in Umande Ward, Laikipia County, the former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary lauded the amendments made to the BBI report that was launched at Bomas of Kenya on October 26 by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his handshake partner Raila Odinga.

Kiunjuri said that the amended BBI document has addressed majority of concerns raised by Kenyans.

He lauded among others the allocation of one extra constituency to Laikipia, his home county.

The TSP leader said he will engage his members and give a way forward.

“We are looking at this draft bill, study it, engage our people and we shall give our verdict. We are very clear on all those issues that are contentious, ” he stated.

“If those issues have been addressed, we shall sit down as leaders. We already agreed that the MPs who are coming should not be flower girls. They should come with money for their constituencies … Like Laikipia we are getting an extra seat, that extra seat will come with money.”
