Will Kenya opt for a constitutional Referendum?

 Referendum- "A renewed rivalry"
 

With just a few months down the line after the March 4th General Election, there seems to be cat calls here and there and that could probably see the nation get back to the poling station and in yet another political mood for the next about 100 days or so.

Leaders from both the Opposition and Government have been seen engage publicly in a hotly contested debate about a proposed referendum in the offing. but probably, this could take quite some time and Kenyans have started fearing that more time devoted for national building could be lost as it could yet be another long period for campaighns  and politics.

Notably enough,the call for the referendum has once again renewed the rivalry between the two most popular coalitions in Kenya. the CORD Coalition led by their principal Raila Odinga who have endorsed a referendum and even started organising campaign crusades in support of it. Meanwhile, the ruling coalition led by President Uhuru has opposed this and probably shown publicly that there is a rivalry between the two coalition.

The former Premier has rooted for a parliamentary system and wants a referendum conducted so as to alter the New Constitution that was enacted in 2010, a move that has been opposed by their rivals. Raila has said that this will be a referendum held to save devolution whereas William Ruto says that those rooting for the referendum have some selfish agenda.
