Africa-Press – Kenya. Laikipia Member of the National Assembly Mwangi Kiunjuri is now calling for what he terms as a constructive national dialogue to resolve the economic and social stalemate in the country.
Speaking in Solio Village 4 in Laikipia East, Kiunjuri said that much as he does not support demonstration planned by the opposition, there was need for a bi-partisan approach to issues bedeviling the country, key among them constitutional reforms.
The TSP leader called for an open-door policy to be applied to anyone who have issues that would require to be put to a referendum to come forth and make a presentation and let Kenyans decide.
“Mimi sikubaliani na maandamano, lakini mimi nakubaliana na mabadiliko ya katiba, na hiyo lazima tutazungumzia. Raila atoke kwa barabara, na usiitishe nusu mkate. Toka kwa barabara twende Bomas tuanze mazungumzo ili ile shida iko Kenya tutatue,” Kiunjuri said
Among issues Kiunjuri want addressed in a referendum is the equality of votes, where he says some Kenyans are disenfranchised.
“Mimi niko na yangu kuhusiana na equality of votes. Lazima kila kura ya mkenya iwekwe kwa ratiri moja na mwingine. Kusiwe na mbunge anasimamia watu elfu mia moja na mwingine elfu ishirini, ilhali wanapata mgao sawia,’’ said Kiunjuri.
The leader further said that proper timelines should be set on when the referendum should be introduced, so that Kenya Kwanza’s government is not derailed from implementing its manifesto.
“Usiseme hakuna pesa ya kufanya referendum, ni muda tunataka kungojea, kwanza tupee serikali ya Kenya kwanza muda wa kufanya kazi kama miaka mbii hivi,” he said.
