Former Public Service CS Moses Kuria has backed Azimio leader Raila Odinga's calls for a review of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
In a statement on Sunday, Kuria said after leaders rejected the Bomas Draft Constitution, the country has been dodging the real issue by experimenting with the coalition government, the famous Handshake and now a broad-based government.
Should Kenyans decide to go back to the Bomas Draft, he will offer his full commitment towards the formation of a national constitution.
"I fully support Raila Odinga's call for a return to the Bomas Draft. Over the last 19 years since the rejection of Bomas, we have gone in circles with artificial experiments like Grand Coalition, Handshake and now Broad Based Government. 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 said on X.
His remarks came after Raila on Saturday said the anticipated national conversation over issues raised by Gen Z could lead to constitutional review.
The opposition boss said the time has come for the country to critically relook at the 2010 Constitution to address existing gaps.
Raila said that a closer look at the Constitution and if need be, change, would allow a progressive nation.
The ODM leader said that while Kenyans gave candid proposals during the collection of views on the review of the Constitution, they were finally mutilated.
“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.
"We must go back to the Bomas draft constitution put it back on the table and see how what needs to be cleaned up so that we can have a progressive constitution."
The ODM leader spoke in Alego Usonga during the burial of Lawyer Evans Orwenjo on Saturday.
