Mr Moi, in a statement to newsrooms, urged the Jubilee government to concentrate in pressing problems affecting Kenyans and ignore calls for a referendum.

โ€œKenyans have gone through two grueling referenda and a general election that was held last year. They need to rest and refocus on investments,โ€ he said.

The retired President, who ruled for 24 years, said the government needs time and resources to address insecurity, poverty and unemployment.

โ€œThe proposed referendum is an unnecessary financial burden on the Kenyan taxpayer and the real motive of the referendum is not public-driven but selfish,โ€ he said.

Opposition leaders are pushing for a national referendum to increase budgetary allocations to counties, address the high cost of living and runaway insecurity and disbandment of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
