Raila Calls For Constitutional Amendments to Scrap Some Presidential Powers
On a vibrant Saturday afternoon, amidst cheers and eager listeners, the esteemed Azimio leader, Raila Odinga, boldly stepped forward, championing a call for constitutional evolution. In a passionate address delivered at a spirited rally in Suna East, Migori County, Odinga challenged the status quo, advocating for reevaluating the presidential prerogatives that bestow immense authority in executive appointments.
With fervour and conviction, Raila articulated his concerns, alleging instances of abuse of power within the executive echelons. In particular, he aimed the roles of County Commissioners and Sub-County Commissioners, vehemently expressing his dissent. He recounted a troubling incident involving a commissioner in Migori, accusing them of instigating a confrontation against Governor Ochilo Ayacko during a solemn burial ceremony.
According to Raila’s narrative, the county commissioner purportedly marshalled a contingent of law enforcement officers to confront the governor, casting a shadow of discord over the peaceful proceedings. Asserting the absence of constitutional backing for the erstwhile provincial administration, Odinga underscored the pivotal role of governors as enshrined in the nation’s new constitutional framework.
“The sanctity of the governor’s office must be upheld,” proclaimed Raila, his words resounding with a call to action. He dared to challenge the existing constitutional landscape, advocating for a recalibration of presidential powers to curtail undue influence in state appointments. With conviction in his voice, he rallied for collective action to effect transformative change, rooted in democratic principles and accountability.

Amidst his clarion call for constitutional reform, Raila issued a stern admonition against premature politicking, urging elected representatives to prioritize service delivery over partisan pursuits. “The time for action is now,” he proclaimed, a rallying cry for renewed dedication and service to the electorate.
As the sun set on the vibrant rally grounds, Raila Odinga’s words lingered in the air, igniting a spark of hope and determination in the hearts of his supporters.
