Independent-minded Kanu MPs will join the Opposition to shoot down the Bill that will propose to change the Constitution.

Cherangani MP Kipruto Kirwa predicted that only the National Development Party and the Kenya Social Congress of Kitutu Masaba MP George Anyona will support such a Bill.

Kanu, he told a funds drive at Ziwa, Uasin Gishu District on Sunday, will not marshal the number of votes required to make any change to the Constitution.

"The number of Kanu and National Development Party MPs and those of their sympathisers cannot add up the required votes to change the Constitution," the outspoken Kanu MP said.

Mr Kirwa was speaking on the current stalemate over whether the review should be handled by Parliament or not.

President Moi has led Kanu leaders in insisting that only Parliament had the mandate to reform the Constitution, while the Ufungamano religious group wants a people-driven process.

The Act to be amended was drafted by stakeholders after a series of meetings at Bomas and Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi.

But controversy arose over the number of commissioners the stakeholders would nominate.

Kanu wanted the lion's share, citing its numerical strength in Parliament. Other parties opposed and a deadlock ensued hence the Parliamentary Select Committee led by Raila Odinga.

Its report was adopted by Parliament, largely by Kanu and NDP MPs. Its debate was boycotted by majority of opposition MPs.

The Ufungamano group also last week swore in its commissioners to collect and collate views from Kenyans on the Constitution they want.

Mr Kirwa was speaking at Kosyin Primary School where he helped raise over Sh100,000 for a student studying in India. He gave Sh40,000.

He accused the government of favouring other Kalenjin communities in the EATEC land sale and sidelining Nandis.

He said Keiyos were allocated Kipkabus EATEC land while Kipsigis were also given some land but when it came to the farms in Nandi dominated areas, the government wanted them to buy.
