Nairobi lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi claimed in a 2019 post that a 14-person technical committee was secretly drafting a new Kenyan constitution, with members from President Uhuru Kenyatta's office and opposition leader Raila Odinga's camp. The report, published by The Kenyan DAILY POST, noted the publication's 2012 copyright. Abdullahi stated the group operated under the 'handshake initiative' and worked without Deputy President William Ruto's knowledge, according to the original source.
State House and Capitol Hill did not respond to the allegations. The article's content included claims that the committee met in a Rift Valley hotel, receiving directives from Kenyatta and Odinga. The Kenyan DAILY POST, which has a 2012 copyright, first reported the claims.
