'YES' campaigns

MP’s advocating for the proposed constitution took their YES campaign to Samburu district where they continued to express their confidence in the document and its ability to sail through in the referendum vote.

Industrialization assistant minister Nderitu Mureithi, (M.P Laikipia West), Abdikair Mohammed (Mandera Central) and nominated MP Maison Leshomo said it was unfortunate that some of the leaders opposing the enactment of the new law were involved in its drafting.

“Why should someone criticize a document in which he was actively involved in drafting. These people owe Kenyans an explanation,” Mr Mureithi said.

Mr Abdikadir who is also the chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Constitution Review said: “We want to assure that the integrity of the process is fine and the document that will be put to the referendum is one of the best that Kenyans can have, but I don’t believe there is a way we can withhold the referendum until we all agree on one course”, he said.

The leaders spoke at the Maralal stadium in Samburu central district on Sunday during a fund raising ceremony to support various women groups from the region.
