Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Sunday announced that he was fully in support of Azimio leader Raila Odinga's calls to go back to the Bomas draft constitution.
Kuria added that that this was necessary to create structures for matters Kenya has been 'experimenting' with for almost two decades such as the formation of a coalition government.
"I fully support Raila Odinga's call for a return to the Bomas Draft. Over the last 19 years since the rejection of Bomas, we have gone in circles with artificial experiments like Grand Coalition, Handshake and now Broad Based Government."
"We have skirted around to avoid the inevitable. I will offer my full devotion and commitment towards a National Constitutional conference towards the Bomas Draft," he wrote.
His announcement was met with criticism from Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi who argued that Kenya did not need a new or amended constitution but leaders who upheld it.
Abdullahi added that this was the main problem where the political elites refused to implement and respect the Constitution.
"Your awful tweet is a moving testimony of the political class's meaningless engagement in periodic sideshows that yield no benefit to Wanjiku," the lawyer remarked.
Moses Kuria's support came a day after Raila called for the constitutional review arguing that it would allow Kenya to become a progressive nation.
Raila who was speaking at a funeral on Saturday stated that it was time to look at the 2010 Constitution to address some gaps critically. He urged Kenyans to provide their proposals for a better Kenya.
"Kenyans met at the Bomas of Kenya and deliberated for a very long time and devised a very progressive constitution. That constitution was bastardised to a certain extent during the so-called Naivasha process," he remarked.
The former Prime Minister emphasised that Kenya was at a crucial stage that could make or break the future if the right steps were not taken as he proposed.
"We must go back to the Bomas draft constitution, put it back on the table and see what needs to be cleaned up so we can have a progressive constitution," he added.
