The president said that he had no power to change the Constitution, which was why he sent the amendment proposals to Parliament.

The Head of State further maintained that it has been his stand to have an official opposition and he was not looking to give anyone a job.

He added that the office of the official opposition is an institution and not a person, maintaining that he wanted the government to be held accountable of its actions.

"Mimi simtafutii mtu kazi. Natafuta ofisi ya kuhakikisha kwamba kuna uajibikaji wa serikali. Mimi naelewa ya kwamba katika demokrasia, watu kukorogwa na power ni rahisi. Kuna sababu ya kuwa na upinzani," President Ruto said.
