The Preamble and Chapter One

The Preamble and Chapter one of the Proposed Constitution sets the tone for all that Kenyans have yearned for in the last 20 years. It acknowledges the supremacy of God of all creations as it honours those who heroically struggled to bring freedom and justice to our mother land.

It further acknowledges that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised in accordance to this document that we are going to vote for on 4th August 2010.

What else do we need?

As we start the last leg that leads us to voting YES on 4th August 2010, it is our desire to engage the whole country in this last round of debate that will see the best brains in Kenya putting a case for the Proposed Constitution. We want to look at all the positive attributes of this document chapter by chapter, and on each of the following days, we will focus on 2 chapters per day.

Please join us in this debate and post half a page of compliment in support of the chapters under review. We have had too much lies and the die is now cast. The oppressors of yesterday have joined forces with pseudo-reformers of today, and we cannot afford to give in to their lies.

Let us hear you loud and clear in support of this document. Please restrict your comments to the 2 chapters under review each day, and make your comments half a page, short, brief and clear.

Peace and blessings as we all vote YES on 4th August 2010.

Odhiambo T. Oketch,

For the first time, we are are;

EXERCISING our sovereign and inalienable right to determine the form of governance of our country and having participated fully in the making of this Constitution:

ADOPT, ENACT and give this Constitution to ourselves and to our future generations.

These are milestones Kenya is making after colonialism. We are making a constitution for ourselves not one bequeathed to us by the colonialists like the current one. The beauty of it all is that we have participated in achieving this, right from the 1990s when we started aggitating for a good and better constitution on realising that the colonialists constitution, after several mutilations, was now serving the interests of the new oppressors, the current anti reform agents who have always stood in the ways of reform.

We are not only doing this for ourselves but adopting and enacting this for future generations too. We are giving ourselves and the future generations a homegrown Kenyan constitution.

For those who have always made aggitation a way of life, we tell them sorry, a time has come when we must stop aggitating and adopt and enact because we have got a product worth adopting and enacting. Selfless reformists bank the gains and go out to get some more, they do not throw away all the gains to start afresh, that is the way of neo-capitalist reformists who do so for selfish gains.

When a good parent teaches the child how to walk, he/she encourages the first few steps and positively reinforces such progress, he/she does not tell the child that because you cannot walk in one day, you need to go back to crawling until you learn to walk straight away!! This is what we are doing to our motherland after years of oppression by anti reformists. We are teaching the country to walk the reform path, bit by bit. The anti reformists and neo-capitalist reformists pretend that the baby must walk now now and if not, go back to crawling!!

These are very bad parents for Kenya.

Otieno Sungu.
