ODM Secretary-General Edwin Siufuna, however, in an angry rant dismissed reports by the Daily Nation as false and misleading, even as he hailed Standard's version of events. The Daily Nation indicated that ODM Party's calls were fuelled by a concern that a prime minister appointed by the president as suggested in the BBI report would have no real power and would be at the mercy of the head of state. "ODM's fresh demands are expected to attract opposition from Jubilee Party leaders allied to DP William Ruto, who had earlier showed lukewarm support for the BBI before changing tune after it suggested a mongrel system of government that is neither pure parliamentary nor presidential, with a weak PM," the publication wrote.

The publication further reported that the opposition had made submissions and recommendations that of the two deputy prime ministers, one of them was supposed to be less than 45 years to marshall support from the youth. The Daily Nation, however, reported that the ODM Party had pushed for a powerful prime minister's post with two deputies. "Even though that is what we presented and wanted, we must, however, be able to listen and accommodate the views of other Kenyans who presented a different opinion," Sifuna was quoted. The Standard reported that the ODM team had decided to abandon a bid for a prime minister's post.Īccording to the newspaper, Sifuna stated that the reason behind the change of tune was because ODM had seen a need to accommodate views from other Kenyans on the matter.
