To Mr. President,
From our hearts we say Thank You Mr. President for the wonderful gift that you have given to the people of the land of your grandfather. What you have done to the people of Kenya will go down in history as one of the greatest events in the 21st century. You have once again proved to the world that Yes We Can.
Mr. President, without your undivided effort, before and after ascending to the Presidency of the United States, to change Kenya by putting pressure on the Kenyan ruling elites who are the beneficiaries of the current constitution, no constitutional change would have materialized in the country of your grandfather; for this is a journey that Kenyans have travelled since 1963; Kenyans have been oppressed for over 4 decades and with your singular effort the people of Kenya will be free beginning Friday, August 27, 2010.
We Thank You solemnly from the very bottom of our hearts for showing the world that Yes We Can. With the promulgation of the new constitution tomorrow, Friday, August 27, 2010 Kenya will never be the same again.
We, the people of Kenya are deeply grateful to you for we know that the change that is taking place in Kenya is happening because of your devotion to make Kenya a more democratic and corruption free society. We all know that the change that Kenyans are going to witness tomorrow, Friday, August 27, 2010 is not from their government; the change is coming to Kenya from Washington.
In three words we, the people of Kenya say to you WE ARE GRATEFUL.
Thank you Mr. President

CHANGES TO MAKE NO CHANGES AFTER PROMULGATION OF A NEW CONSTITUTION
It is great this day came to pass for our great country and its people.
But swearing in Justice Evans Gicheru, the very man who swore in Kibaki in the dark of night following the 2007 rigged elections only shows that the new Kenyan constitution might easily mean nothing. Swearing in Amos Wako as the Attorney General simply means that things have only changed in order to remain the same.
Swearing in all those people who represent impunity in the country to guide and implement the new constitution is the very height of deceit. How about swearing in such people who consider themselves to have the ownership of the title deed of Kenya in their pockets, like John Michuki, who ordered police to shoot and kill innocent unarmed youth who were demonstrating and protesting the December 2007 presidential elections theft?
What has changed in a President who at the promulgation of the new constitution shamelessly invites with pomp a world criminal fugitive Omar el Bashir to grace its new constitution promulgation celebration? This apparently not only shows that the government is quite happy this fugitive who killed hundreds of thousands of fellow Blacks in Sudan but also that it will not hand over its own butchers of the December 2007 Presidential post election violence to The Hague.
What changes do we expect in a government whose minister pompously escorts an international criminal such as Omar el Bashir to such a great national occasion as the promulgation of a new constitution in our country?
All Kenyans must now watch keenly the activities of Sheik Balala in our country and government!
What changes do we expect if our president invites the likes of Yoweri Kaguta Musevdeni, of all the people, to grace one of Kenya’s greatest movements notwithstanding the part the Uganda president played in the 2007 post elections violence in Kenya?
Kenyans should now pray more for divine deliverance for it appears that only the Almighty God can protect us against the re-rejuvenated men and women of impunity after they have been re-sworn in to lead and implement the newly promulgated Constitution.
It is beyond my meager imagination how these men and women of impunity will be able to investigate themselves, charge themselves and sentence themselves for the crimes they have committed against innocent Kenyans.
We watched as the people who contributed least were parade as champions of reform.

WILSON AIRPORT
The government of Kenya officially closed Wilson Airport several days to the DDay 27th August 2010, the day of the Promulgation of the New Constitution. Like in December 2007 the Kenya Army warned the public to keep off the KICC apparently in preparation for the shameless rigging then, so apparently this time too, Wilson airport was deliberately closed in preparation for the reception of the fugitive criminal black butcher of Darfur and Southern Sudan, the Sudanese President Omar el Bashir. I do not know. It is strange but not surprising that he was received witth pomp and with a complete guard of homnour at Wilson airport on the fateful morning.
It is not Wetangula who has messed but the President who up to and until now has not only seen it to be expedient to comment on the criminal incident but to also fire Wetangula, Balala and Onyonka from his cabinet for spiting the ICC and international law by officially affording state comfort to a criminal president.
What is this, if not impunity?
Wetangula is of course a very good example of shameless political opportunists Kenya has ever produced. On this occasion and in cases when he was defending the December 27, 2007 presidential elections theft he proudly portrays himself as defender of Mwai Kibaki and not as a defender of the law, justice and ordinary Kenyans. History is watching him!
