Raila is not honest on BBI - Murkomen

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen now says that ODM leader Raila Odinga is being 'deceitful' on what the Prime Minister position will bring to Kenya under the BBI.
Murkomen claims the position will only serve to create wrangles between the President and the Deputy President.
The Senate Majority Leader was responding to Raila's interview with Citizen TV aired on Friday night where the opposition leader said that the BBI will give parliament the mandate to vet and approve a PM.
"Its a new role that was not anticipated in the old constitution," he said.
"Raila said that the BBI brings fundamental changes that will require a referendum."
For instance, he said, introducing ex-officio members to the parliament and other changes to the executive.
Murkomen termed his sentiments deceitful saying, "How can you possibly respect the PM who plays no key role in the political victory of the President if you can’t respect the DP who formed a political coalition with President".
He added, "If you can’t assign responsibilities to the DP better scrap the position and create PM".
"For as long as we ground our politics on deception and craftiness we shall be having first terms characterized by Obama-Biden bromance and second terms full of wrangles targeted at finishing DP and the DP fighting for survival. We better scrap running mate position until we become honest
