Gentle people,
For 24 years, we, Kenyans kept in office Moi while aware that he was plundering, abusing our rights with impunity and promoting cronism. The legal fundamentals that he applied to maim and torture as enshrined in the current constitution. But it is the same constitution that Kibaki has applied and seen us prosper meaning he has decided to apply the law for the gain of Kenyans and not to entrench himself in power. My take is that however good or bad a constitution is, it will eventually be crowned by the implementor – the person we elect as President. Even the devil uses the commandments to lead us astray. The American constitution is good but we have seen what happened when they put Bush Walker in office.
So please after we pass this draft lets always remember, the person at the top is critical. Even at Company level, Safaricom, KQ, Bidco, KCB, NBK, etc are as good as the CEOs they got. If the right person is at the top, all else falls in place.
What do you think?

Well,
Your sentiments echo a very sensitive issue though equivalent to playing a harp to a rat. The blockade created by tribalism as evident in the political circles and the difference in nature of our individual objectives to vote is something Kenyans need to walk over but will seemingly take 20years or more. Take a keen look at the following comments;
– The kikuyu have had it, we wont take it back there
– The Luo’s will tear down the government by squandering everything
– We cant give kalenjin, they have eaten enough.
– If so and so is president we will be rich
– Give us something to grease our palms for our votes
– So and so are backing me so the other guy is a political outcast.
– Sisi kama wajaluo, walhuya tuko ODM
– Sisi watu wa gema tuko PNU
– Nawaomba wakalenjin wote warudi kufwata nyayo za Kanu chama cha baba na mama
– Kilamtu ataanza kurudi kwao
How well do we get this out of the village borne individual and the youth who strongly believe in the word of a political idle? Do we vote to loot, vote to be used, vote objectively to enjoy quality governance, security and economic growth or simply to make sure my tribes man is at the country’s helm even if it costs me my life?
Remember, The constitution is a document as weak as a bag of salt and can always be tilted to suit the political class through parliament. Therefore, Only a gun with a superior cycle rate can hit a target effectively and that cycle rate is a leader who knows the meaning of non influenced management policies with regard to all time benefits to the masses.
WE MUST THINK AHEAD!
