Deputy President Dr. William Samori Ruto speaking at Chatham House in London has made the following proposals:
1. Presidential Winner to form National Executive.
2. The runningmate to the presidential winner becomes Deputy President and Leader of Government Business in Parliament.
2. The no.2 in the presidential election to automatically head the Official Opposition in Parliament. His/Her Runningmate to become Deputy Leader of Official Opposition.
3. Cabinet Secretaries to be ex-Official Members of Parliament and attend House sittings. However, he says they should be appointed by the President, not elected.
4. The Senate to be the Upper House.
5. Gender parity to be progressive, not achieved through current mechanism of ‘forcing’ the two-thirds…
But all the above to be predicated on this question: What is the Constitutional Moment to execute these changes? Put simply, when should a referendum be held? Says this year Kenya to conduct census, next year Kenya to conduct boundary delimitation and 2022 Kenya to conduct an election…so he asks, “when should a referendum will held”.
He categorically rejects the creation of more posts…sijui PM…sijui three DPMs….sijui two VPs…etc.
N/B: I’m neither pro-Ruto nor anti-Ruto.

Dictatorship has been in Kenya since 12/12/1963 starting with Jomo Kenyatta! DP Ruto will not be the 1st one!
What David Murathe is going around the country preaching while using Raila Odinga is pure DICTATORSHIP in disguise!!
I hope Raila Odinga wakes up from his slumber and recognize it for what it is!!! HE IS BEING USED, AGAIN!!

This is very stupid, to me, this man is trying to take us to the past like to the stone ages I mean all his suggestions have been tried to failure time and before… campaign time is not yet the men is burning rubber to the colonial masters trying in this case re-event the wheel, What a total embarrassment for us all as the black creed, this is an ape man talking, totally unprepared and lacking in any clues to the problem at hand. The big 4 agenda is clearly being undermined for real, instead of capitalizing on the gains he is suggesting a paradigm shift to the past.

These HEAVILY ARMED low IQ East African are SHAMELESS and rely heavily on loans from IMF, Word Bank, Euro Bonds and China and heavily taxing the consumer goods used by their poor citizens who are living in slums! The beneficiaries are IMF, World Bank, China and Europe!!
Paul Kagame, the most heavily foreign armed African elite of all, is now heading both African Union as well as EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY(KENYA, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda ans South Sudan) on behalf of his foreign financiers!!! WHY??

we have talked and talked about changing the laws and going back to the referendum which is not a bad idea. But if we do not address the real issue on how the elections are conducted then we are failling miserably. we shall go on enacting our laws but we shall end up with the samam, same results. No one and not any one is ready to address the problem in this country. We shall make a million and one laws but if we do not come back to our senses then we shall go back to 1963. Election time is when we prepare for elections then it is the time when it is right to maim, kill and steal. After all is done we run and carry up the Bible/Quran oblivious of how we clinched the seat. When we are faced with real life after the elections we start blaming the other part of us. When policemen take bribes why do we blame them? When pupils steal exams why do we blame them? When our leaders corrupt why do we blame them. Aren’t the politicians the ones who have schooled us that it is right to do wrong and yell aloud that God has enabled us win?.
During election time all government machinery is alert to make sure that the election outcome favors a particular party and all the citizenry, the Judiciary, the security apparatus are supposed to turn a blind eye. about electoral Mal-practices. Any one talking about it will be risking his life. Even an idiot and a mental confused person at Mathare mental Hospital knows our elections are not free and fare. It is only one part of our political divide which has a say on appointment of electoral commissioners, it is the one that enacts the laws and it is the one with members at the secretaries. How does one expect them to go against the wishes of their masters? Dr. Akombe tested the waters and she is a living example

even if we enact a thousand and one laws, we shall not achieve any thing because of the institutionalized corruption. Why is it right to maim, steal and kill during an election? when we start reaping then we cry fault? When the police take bribes, who taught them? When pupils steal exam who taught them.? aren’t we the ones. When we rig elections and refuse to put in place water tight laws to govern our elections what do we expect in return. We want chairmen of IEBC that we can manipulate. We want policemen who are blind to the truth. We do not want an independent Judiciary. In short we are very allergic to the truth. We turn lies to be the truth and we turn truth to be lies. Until that time we shall learn to stand by and talk the truth, let us forget the issue of referendum and the issue of enacting our laws. Each one of us is against the chapter about integrity

THE allied Mt.Kenya cartels and their foreign backers, ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH RIGGED ELECTIONS! This is the main reason why Cambridge Analytica came to Kenya handle 8/8/2017 Kenya elections!
Mt. Kenya cartels and their foreign allies are heavily invested in the resources abundance in the Rift Valley! They need William Ruto or the Moi family for a stable exploitation of Rift Valley resources. Their focus on William Ruto is principally to establish whether William Ruto or Gideon Moi would give them the security the need in the Rift Valley! PERIOD!
The other elites like Mudavadi, Joho, Wetangula and Kalonzo Musyoka are starving wolves, with no integrity or allegiance towards either their constituents or anyone else but themselves! These compromised and unpatriotic four politicians are always on the prowl looking for opportunities to find meals and are ready to join any pack that promises them some secure meals to keep their immediate families happy!
This leaves one man Raila Odinga and his team as the sole loose cannons that must dealt with and nipped or neutered or tamed! And this is the main the focus of Uhuru Kenyatta-David Murathe team!! MARK THIS VERY COMMENT!
