World must help Kenya enforce Bomas draft

  EXCERPT:

  The Presidency is the problem that has been ravaging us since 1964. Kenyans realised this and came together to cure this disease in 2004 in the Bomas draft constitution. That draft contained proposals to establish a just system, where power and resources are devolved. It is those who subverted democracy who sabotaged the Bomas Draft implementation, because, as they said, one of their own had become president.
  Now is the time to implement that draft constitution to bring justice and peace. It is this draft that was the true change that the majority of Kenyans voted for last year. Seven provinces out of eight voted for change. Status quo will not bring peace, because there will be no justice.

  When young people say there will be no peace without justice, they mean it. And they do not mean Raila Odinga. They mean an agent of change.

  The international community, especially the US, Britain, Australia, Norway, Canada and France should help implement the Bomas Draft Constitution – a local initiative, which contains a homegrown solution to the crisis.

    true we seriously need bomas draft, but not through killing our neighbours who bought land in the RV on willing seller willing buyer basis; not the majimbo of eviction, otherwise the elites should also be evicted from their posh homes
