Moses Kuria message to Raila and Kalonzo after NCCK call to amend the constitution

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria on October 31 told National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka that he looks forward to welcoming them to the parliament. This come hours after religious leaders under The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) called for a change in law to create the positions of the office for the Opposition leader, a Prime Minister and two deputies.

“On Mashujaa Day I said this. Today NCCK has said more or less the same thing. But they also added something interesting. The runners up and running mate should automatically assume the Leader and Deputy Leader of opposition in parliament/senate. I also fully support. I look forward to welcome Hon Raila Odinga and Hon Kalonzo Musyoka to parliament. Let the debate continue” Moses Kuria posted on his Facebook page.

While speaking to journalists, the NCCK Secretary-General Reverend Canon Peter Karanja said that creating such a body will ensure that all Kenyans are given the opportunity to air their concerns.

"We are convinced that by establishing such a body, all Kenyans will be given an opportunity to table proposals on issues of concern and have the proposals managed in a prudent and responsible manner so that the outcome is better for all," said NCCK Secretary-General

"This executive committee has followed with keen interest the debate surrounding proposals by various parties to amend sections of the constitution. However, we are concerned that the divisive nature of the campaigns for these proposals and the vested interests represented bear the hallmarks of a dangerous political and tribal contest that could throw the country into a spin, “ he added.
