13 Aug 2014

Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, Former anti-corruption boss John Githongo and Richard Leakey have joined Cord Principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula in a meeting before the kick-off of the drive to collect one million signatures for the referendum.

The launch of the campaign, Okoa Kenya, kicked off at Ufungamano house in Nairobi yesterday, Tuesday, a day after the coalition's numbers in the national assembly were boosted by a win in the Mathare by elections.

The referendum committee of experts led by lawyers Paul Mwangi, Kethi Kilonzo, Beatrice Kituyi and human rights activist Khelef Khalif is yet to announce the referendum questions Kenyans will vote on after the collection of the one million signatures.

Governors have also come up with their own separate referendum push with 10 key things they want changed in the new constitution that was promulgated in August 2010.

Uhuru's administration has dismissed the call for a referendum and accused the opposition of engaging in endless politicking.
