City lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila’s 14-member Building Bridges Initiative is secretly writing a new constitution for Kenyans.
In a tweet posted on his official Twitter handle on Thursday, the senior counsel divulged that the committee of 14 is under the support of the office of the President.
“BREAKING NEWS….A technical committee of 14 under the auspices of the handshake initiative and the Office of the President is SECRETLY writing a new constitution for Kenya…” Abdullahi wrote.
Kahawa Tungu, however, could not independently verify the senior counsel’s allegations, as he did not provide proof to back up his allegations.
