Top news items in Kenya's major media outlets

NAIROBI, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- The following are the news highlights in Kenyan media outlets on Wednesday.

-- A draft bill seeks to radically alter the country's governance structure to hand parliament the powers to elect a one-term ceremonial president. It proposes the creation of the position of an executive prime minister as head of government, scraps that of the deputy president and establishes two deputy prime minister posts. The bill seeks a limit to a president's term to one seven-year from the current two five-year terms.

The proposal further means Kenyan voters would not participate in electing the president as the holder would be chosen by MPs. The bill is set to be introduced to the National Assembly and would require a referendum to succeed. (The Standard)
