How BBI Can Save Kenya From Disaster
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:21 am
Some people claim that BBI is not needed, that there are more pressing issues in Kenya. Those who say that are very wrong. BBI is so crucial that, if Covid-19 makes it impossible to vote physically for the referendum, then Kenyans would rather vote for it by phone.
If BBI changes to the Constitution can be done through parliament, then all the better.
Nothing is more important in Kenya than saving the country from collapsing, that is what BBI is meant to do.
There are many issues proposed regarding BBI in this thread, however, the most crucial recommendation is the one that will thwart all Anti-Kenya plots. This particular recommendation will destroy all anti-Kenya plots because the anti-Kenya forces, both local and external, never expected it.
The Recommendations That Will Destroy All Anti-Kenya Plots in A Single Stroke
1. County Governors can be elected for a maximum of 3 terms (from the current 2). Therefore, a person can serve a maximum of 15 years as governor (from current 10). Of course, if the residents of the county don’t want a governor to serve 2 or 3 terms, they won’t re-elect him/her.
2. Prime Minister (PM), elected by parliament, with at least 50% + 1 of the MPs voting for him/her. Therefore, the PM will be a member of the majority party or majority coalition in parliament.
PM cannot be sacked by the president; can only be sacked by MPs. If BBI constitution referendum passes, then current parliament would be expected to vote for PM within 21 days.
3. 2 Deputy Prime Ministers (DPM), elected by parliament, with at least 50% + 1 of the MPs voting for him/her. DPM cannot be sacked by the president; can only be sacked by MPs. Timeline for election of new DPMs as above for PM.
4. Deputy President is the running mate of the president during elections. Can be sacked by the president.
If BBI constitution referendum passes, this amendment becomes effective immediately, meaning that the current Deputy President can be sacked by the President.
5. President will remain CEO of Kenya, elected directly by voters, after every 5 years. The president can be elected for a maximum of 3 terms (from the current 2). Impeachment process of president remains as it is currently.
