They say siku za mwizi ni arubanne, na sasa the 40 thieving days are
coming home to roost. Yes, the chicken are on the way.
The Church must stand firm that even if sadaka tutanyimwa, even if the
press will only cover the YES campaigners, that even if the
politicians infiltrate the Church and spill their vitriol, we will
stand firm. A constitution is made for people and not politicians and
their clandestine MoU’s with religious people.
This country is bigger than any religion or ideology. We are a secular
state and that’s what the constitution is all about. Protecting the
rights of everyone without fear or favour.
Why would a government forget that true believers form a very big
population?
My conclusion is that neither Kibaki nor Raila are interested in a new
constitution. Kibaki knows very well this will not pass, and Raila has
a secret MoU with muslims he has to honour. Anyway, if the Muslim
brothers really want the Kadhi courts as it was in the proposal with
the Sultan, then let them apply to the 10 mile strip. After that, keep
the constitution free from religious courts.
As for abortion, if any of you were aborted, you would not be
practising what you are doing now. That’s the tragedy. No arguments.

I think the Church and the Government need to allow Kenyans decide what they want. They (Kenyans) are the protagonists, not THEM.

I wonder what the church will gain by saying no. It is a zero sum game because Kadhi’s court is in the current constitution and abortion clause is even more liberal in the present penal code.
If the church is of the opinion that the inadequacy of the current constitution was the cause of the bloodbath of 2007 and that 2012 under the same constitution might mean total disintegration of the country, it makes one wonder the logic behind a NO vote.
You would imagine that they would say yes to ensure that there is stability in the political arena and then fight to amend what they perceive as unpalatable.
They clergy should know that if Kenya disintegrates there will be no congregation to tithe or to preach to. SAVE YOUR PEOPLE FROM DISINTEGRATION FIRST AND THEN PREACH HEAVEN TO THEM LATER.
People,
The days when the church used to sneeze and everybody stood to attention is long gone,these fellows who are church leaders have become like any other fellow on the street,they rape,sodomise,keep mistresses,smoke,take drugs and steal just like any ordinary character will do,so what is so special about them.
People have wisened up and few them as fellows who have opened offices to broker business between you and God.
Look at the crazy and bizzare happenings in Europe and other countries involving the men of cloth and am sure these probes will soon come to Africa and catch up with our crooked churchmen.Let them clean their houses first before they can have a say on anything.We fought as they watched in 2007 and now they wish to have a say on the referedum,it will be a big blow to all the NO and MOI followers.
