Any attempt to alter the Constitution to create positions such as Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Ministers should not even be entertained. Both the opposition and the government should be put on notice, Kenyans will not tolerate another round of political negotiations disguised as constitutional reform.
Coalition talks have a tendency to become negotiations over positions, and we should not be surprised if such proposals start making their way into the conversation. Kenya’s problem is not the absence of a Prime Minister’s docket. Service delivery has failed because of corruption, impunity and leaders who have treated public resources as their personal property. We don’t need more positions. We need accountability, competence and leaders who can actually deliver.
