Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has proposed changes to the privileges and powers of the prime minister's position proposed in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) task force report.

Speaking a day after the launch of the report that recommends the creation of a premier's post, and whose holder would be appointed by the president and vetted by Parliament, Kalonzo said the position was not properly conceptualised.
