Dear Fellow Kenyans,

Here is a scanned copy of my request, as a Kenyan citizen, to the Interim Independent Constitutional Dispute Resolution Court (ICDC) for permission to be enjoined as a respondent in a case filed at the Court against the Attorney General, the Committee of Experts on Constitutional Review and the Interim Independent Electoral Commission seeking to stop civic education and the referendum from going ahead.

My application is aimed at personifying and giving a human face to the respondents against whom the case has been filed since the current respondents are institutions (AG, CoE and IIEC) and it is therefore not easily possible to identify and attribute a direct injury that they would suffer if the petition was to be granted. It is Kenyans, it is you and me, who would suffer irreparable and immense injustice from halting the constitutional review process and it is therefore important that we, Kenyans, up the stakes in this case and dramatize to the extremes of public interest.

The date on which applications for intervention shall be heard by the Court has been set for 2nd July, 2010 at 9 am at KICC.

I am sharing this with you fellow Kenyans in order to make you aware, if you were not already, and to urge you to seize the opportunity to enjoin yourself as well. It is possible to have as many Kenyans as possible get involved in making this a matter of great public interest and persuade the Courts to refuse to be turned into battle ground to hold us even a minute longer in the old order of current constitution.

Kenya needs you, will you?
