In the firts year of Kibaki’s presidency,2002 – 2007, we were given several promises. Chief among them were:
* A new Constistution
* 500,000 new jobs annually
* 500,000 new housing units per annum
Deadlines and timelines to the above are now irrelevant as we all know nothing was achiweved on these and several others. Anglo-Leasing and other mega-scandals saw to that.
In February 2008, as he started his illegitimate second term Mwai Kibaki promiseed a new costitution within one year. All other promises were contigent upon a new costitution being in place. Kenyans can take consolation that there’s still one month left to the first anniversary of that promise. Will Kenyans have a new constitution any time soon?
We are waiting. Kenyans are known for their patiency.
Happy New Year to all wanabidii and look forward to more invigorating and constructive debates this year.
Mathias.
