Suleiman Mbatiah | NATION Prime Minister Raila Odinga and MPs Sammy Mwaita and Musa Sirma join traditional dancers at a rally in Marigat, Baringo on December 14, 2011. 

Prime Minister Raila Odinga has faulted politicians who have proposed amendments to the new Constitution before it is fully implemented.
He said attempts to scrap the senate would dismantle devolution, which guarantees the rights of women, youth and marginalised groups.
Mr Odinga urged Kenyans to embrace peace during the coming polls and shun the 2007 violence.
He asked candidates contesting various positions during the 2012 polls to respect the will of the people.
He said he will accept the outcome of next year’s general elections in which he will vie for the presidency.

The violence in 2007 started when ODM refused to accept the outcome of the presidential election results.
Mr Odinga said that he was ready to face his rivals at the ballot box.
“If I will be defeated, I will work with whoever wins,” he said when he launched the construction of the 62-kilometre Loruk-Barpelo tarmac road at Loruk.
The road connects Kenya to Southern Sudan from Nakuru through Marigat to Marich and Juba.
He later addressed a public rally in Marigat Town and said the eviction of settlers from the Mau complex is designed to stop the destruction of the crucial water table.
At the same time, more MPs have spoken against the proposal to get rid of the Senate.
MPs David Ngugi (Kinangop, Sisi kwa sisi), Mohammed Affey (Nominated, ODM-K) and Adan Duale (Dujis, ODM) have vowed to oppose the proposal by Mr Jeremiah Kioni (Ndaragwa, PNU).
“We can’t start mutilating the Constitution even before we implement it,” said Mr Ngugi.
But Mr Kioni challenged his colleagues to come up with concrete points against his proposal.
He said he has proposed the amendment because it would be expensive to run the two houses of Parliament and the Senate has a small mandate.
