The Constitution of Kenya should be amended to give the President more powers to fight graft, Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki has said.

Speaking at Gatunga, in Tharaka constituency on Saturday, Kindiki said some clauses in the new constitution have compromised President’s Powers to act directly on challenges facing his administration including fight on corruption.
