Kieni Member of Parliament Kanini Kega says national census is key before the referendum debate picks on.

The legislator argues that basic issues should be fully addressed to the later.
“There are basic issues that need to be addressed before this debate picks on. First we have to conduct the national census” he said

The lawmaker however says it is not the right time for Kenyans politicians to spark the referendum debate.

He wants the political elites to deliver the promises they vowed to Kenyans.
“I believe this is not the right time for politicians to bring this debate on the ground. Elected leaders should first deliver” he noted

Speaking to the press in Mombasa on Friday the legislator said referendum issue is a constitutional right for all Kenyans.

He however is of the opinion that before the referendum debates picks up the executive should be expanded to accommodate legislators and member of county assemblies.

“Referendum is a constitutional right for all Kenyans. But before that I want the executive to be expanded to accommodate MPs and MCAs” he opined

The law maker is of the view that presidential term should be limited to seven years.

He says a president serving a single seven years term is guaranteed to deliver to Kenyans.

“I’m of the opinion that the president should serve for a single term of seven years. I want to assure you that any president serving a seven year term will deliver than the current seven years” the soft spoken lawmaker said

The legislator urged politicians to deliver to their constituents.

He proposes for the creation of a prime minister’s post.

“I fully support the creation of the prime minister’s post” he noted
