National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has proposed expansion of the Executive arm of the government.
The NCCK has asked that the government creates a Prime Minister, two deputies and official leader of the opposition posts.
They say the posts will ensure a more inclusive government.
According to secretary general, Canon Peter Karanja, the president will appoint the Premiere who will sit in the cabinet.
Mr Karanja has however maintained that the posts are not a way of creating a ‘nusu mkate’ government.

This comes after the IEBC declared Uhuru Kenyatta the duly elected President having garnered 98 per cent of the votes cast on October 26.
The opposition leader, Raila Odinga has maintained that the repeat elections were a sham and is pushing for fresh elections in 90 days.
Choas erupted in various parts of the country during the repeat presidential elections especially in the opposition strongholds.
The Prime Minister’s post was in 2008 created to end the post-election violence that rocked the country, leaving more than 1,000 dead and others displaced.
The post was held by Odinga, deputized by Kenyatta and Musalia Mudavadi.

Uhuru to be the prime minister if Kenyans allows him. Otherwise Raila won election and MUST just be given what he deserved. PRESIDENCY
You are out of your crazy minds NCCK. There is nothing like a PM when parliament is almost 65% Jubilee, meaning that an overwhelming majority of Kenyans chose Jubilee leaders, and that includes Senators, Governors, Women reps and MCAs, in addition to the President!! Why then do you want to undermine Jubilee legitimate authority by appointing an unelected PM??? Is it Jubilee’s fault that Kenyans rejected NASA leadership? Like I said, you are out of your f…..g minds! Stick to preaching in Church.
Even prophets used to counsel and rebuke Kings. Ever read your Bible?
Besides, were you telling the church to stick to preaching when the likes of Rev. Timothy Njoya were fighting for political pluralism?
If what they are recommending is followed through, what then is the point of having competitive elections?? What is the use of calling ourselves ‘a democracy’? Tribal chieftains can instead just meet and dish out positions! Ushenzi!
Being insulting is not mature. This is a forum for sharing opinions. NCCK is offering their point of view. We should not be afraid of listening to different views. That is what it means to live in a democracy.
I agree. My apologies.
