Punguza Mzigo has given Building Bridges Initiative platform to ride on

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced to a somewhat surprised country that the Thirdway Alliance had presented more than 1 million signatures, thus meeting the threshold for deliberations to amend the Constitution of Kenya. 

Known as the Punguza Mzigo Initiative, the proposed amendments seek, among others things, to introduce a one-term 7-year presidency, reduce the size Parliament, currently 416, to 147, convert the existing 47 counties into units for election to the Senate and National Assembly and address gender inequality in representation and ensure Kenyans elect one man and one woman from each of the 47 counties into the National Assembly.
