Two senators have officially written to speaker Kenneth Lusaka seeking his nod to introduce key amendments to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. Wambua seeks to expunge from the bill five proposed amendments, which he argued are unconstitutional. In addition, Wambua wants proposed amendments to Article 245 and 246 on the public service commission and the office of the inspector general of police. “The roles assigned to the Inspector General of Police in the proposed amendments usurp roles of the National Police Commission,” the letter says. In addition, he wants schedule two of the bill amendments to increase the number of proposed additional constituencies from 70 to 79.
