Speculations are rife that the president may take up an executive position after 2022.
COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli has in the past stated that Uhuru is too young to retire.
Speaking on October 16, the head of state denied claims that the Building Bridges Initiative was creating a position for him.
“I don’t want any work, I am tired. BBI will ensure that Kenyans do not spill blood.”
The BBI report is ready and will soon be handed to the president.
ODM leader Raila Odinga has asked Kenyans to prepare for a referendum because he is confident the team will change the system of government from presidential to parliamentary.
DP Ruto on his part has referred to the constitutional change as a cold ploy for “some people to take power through the backdoor.”
