Good morning,Unhappy with the way President Uhuru Kenyatta has been rejecting bills approved by the National Assembly, MPs now plan to curtail his powers. The MPs have drawn up a legislative proposal with far-reaching amendments to the Constitution which, among other things, wants to remove the President's veto powers. A source at the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) intimated to the Star that the plan followed concerns that the Executive is usurping the law-making role of the National Assembly. The feeling in the committee is that President Kenyatta - and by extension, the Executive – is keen on overruling Parliament, “knowing it would be difficult to achieve the numbers to overturn such decisions.”Here are the other stories making headlines in the Star this morning.
