In his memorandum to the Building Bridges team, Kuria proposed a structure comprising the President, Deputy President, Prime Minister, two deputy Prime Ministers. He also suggested that the persons nominated for President and Deputy President shall not be members of Parliament. Kuria also said a candidate fielded for the Prime Minister’s post may vie as MP or be nominated automatically if the presidential candidate in his/her party wins. “The second deputy Prime Minister who may vie as a member of the Senate and who, if not be elected, will automatically become a nominated member of the Senate if the President wins,” he Kuria says.  Kuria's support of  creation of Prime Minister’s post is a big blow to  Deputy President William Ruto who has severally said he will not  support a referendum to create a prime minister’s position.
