Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria now says that he fully supports Azimio Leader Raila Odinga’s calls for a reviewe of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.

In a statement on Sunday, July 28 evening, Kuria said that the country has been second-guessing itself for the past 19 years in terms of governance system and its political system, ever since the Bomas Draft was rejected by politicians in 2005.

“I fully support Raila Odinga’s call for a return to the Bomas Draft. Over the last 19 years since rejection of Bomas, we have gone in circles with artificial experiments like Grand Coalition, Handshake and now Broad Based Government,” Kuria said. “We have skirted around to avoid the inevitable. I will offer my full devotion and commitment towards a National Constitutional conference towards the Bomas Draft.”

Kuria’s statement comes a day after Raila, on Saturday, July 27, said that Kenya’s current political and governance tribulations would be solved if a constitutional review, in reference to the Bomas Draft, is undertaken.

According to Raila, Kenyans gave their views and proposals in an elaborate public participation in the run up to 2005 proposed constitution. Unfortunately, Raila rued that politicians hijacked the process and mutilated it.

“Kenyans met at the Bomas of Kenya and deliberated for a very long time and came up with a very progressive constitution. That constitution was bastardized to a certain extent during the so-called Naivasha process,” Raila said during the burial of Lawyer Evans Orwenjo in Alego Usonga.
