Published on October 15, 2019, former Attorney General Githu Muigai has expressed his views on the ongoing referendum debate, calling for the abolition of some constitutional commissions.
Githu Muigai appeared before the National Assembly's Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee to present his views, stating that the establishment of various constitutional commissions has created unhealthy bureaucracy in government, making it hard to measure performance in departments and enforce accountability.
He also emphasized the need to provide a definitive formula to achieve the elusive two-thirds gender rule, a goal that has been elusive for Parliament despite numerous attempts to pass the constitution amendment bill.
Former Attorney General Githu Muigai's proposals are part of a growing list of suggestions advanced by Kenyans that may be considered should the country head to a referendum.
