“The constitution of Kenya 2010 is ripe for amendment… 11 years down the line it has been realized that there are fundamental problems in terms of content that cannot be implemented without change” - Prof. Ben Sihanya, BBI Committee of Experts
“This is one of the things that the constitution 2010 was seeking to address itself to; to relieve the public of a parasitic leadership class who the only thing they think about is their own bellies” – Daisy Amdany, Linda Katiba campaign
“The president has no powers to confer such benefits to MCAs because the public purse is not his to raid willy-nilly on behalf of the parasitic leadership class” - Daisy Amdany, Linda Katiba campaign
“The Linda Katiba people are reading the BBI selectively rather than holistically” - Prof. Ben Sihanya, BBI Committee of Experts #NewsNight #Palscity
