Dear Lee, dear sagongonyi,
Allow me belatedly to enjoin Lee in his apt observation on how some of us choose to close our ears and eyes when one of own is in power! That way we see and hear no evil!
The truth is that “mbaya ni mbaya all the times”.
From the start let’s be clear that the issues and circumstances that are under discussion now are very different. Why? During the Moi era the question was simple and clear. It was pure party and self preservation matter. Now we are talking and dealing with a widely negotiated, debated and demanded item by all Kenyans of good willing for over 20 years! A constitution for All. It is NOT KANU Vs opposition party politics. No. It is significantly different my brother.
Secondly PSs, DCs, DOs etc were called in after the NO Camp went on rampage and without shame; distorted and raped the constitution with sole aim of misinforming the masses so that they can maintain the status quo. The group has done everything to stop the process but thank the Almight God who listens to meek and weak, the process is still on course. We sure the remaining one court case will come to pass too.
The PCs, DCs only stepped in to undertake civic education that the NO camp had vowed to completely derail for their own selfish motives. Why would someone NOT want the masses to know the true contents of the constitutions? Why should someone move around the country scaring the poor small land holders that they plots will be taken away and that they will taxes on land, toilets and even chicken on their small farms? Why? why?
Oh your small land will be taken away? The draft proactively promotes same sex marriage? It is simply unbelievable what the NO Camp has been spent the money from the offerings from the poor church goers and dollars from their good friends from America!
Which leader can sit by and watch such misdemeanour unleashed to his people?
Bro sagongonyi the only way out of all this is turn green and Vote YES to this inclusive; rights based constitution that has many checks and balances that will never allow any man or woman to hold the country at ransom. Never. Never again! We have suffered enough of the NO Governance. It is time for change. Let’s go it. Let’s vote YES. Ama?
Yes it is to time intensify ACTION and reach OUT to the undecided and NO lot as we continue reassuring those in the YES Camp.
Yes the struggle to conquer Kenya for the Green can only be intensified.
Yes have a reflective, peaceful and Green weekend
Regards
Elijah Agevi
Happily stuck in the Green Corner

You perfectly fit the bill. When MOI used provincial administration, you remained mute and supported him.Now you are crying foul.
This is the sole reason for voting NO. I can bet, if we don’t get a new constitution, we wont have it in the near future!! The momentum will slow down, and since NO people want to reach consensus, it will never be achieved!! Period!!
Let vote green and put a stop to this madness!!

The events of the last three weeks have left me wondering how yesteryears pro-change crusaders metarmophosized to be different creatures. Look at Moi, Raila and Kibaki in 1997 and fastrack to 2010 scenes and tell me whether you are able to see some difference. The masses will always be taken for granted. Kibaki and Raila would cry foul in 1997 when Moi used the provincial administration for political campaigns but Moi would not listen. Kibaki used them in 2005 referendum and 2007 elections and Raila cried foul. In 2010, Kibaki and Raila are using the PCs, DCs, DOs, PSs, Chiefs, Sub Chiefs, etc against the Public Officers Ethics Act and they see nothing wrong with that. I am even shocked that Raila is trying to justify it with the same old Moi tactics of the draft being a gvt project. These are amazing times. It is now Moi’s turn to cry foul. This has left me with one conclusion, all politicians are pretenders. They do not practise what they preach. They change the rules of the game when they are in the driving seat. Forget about democracy and a democrat. Those two words are foreign in kenya.
