My post of yesterday received this strongly worded response. I publish it in full below...
I think you are not being fair to majority of Kenyans. There are no emotions involved with this document. We are disgusted with the authors and their evil machinations. Let nobody cheat you –tumeisoma na tukaichambua.Orange is just repeating what people are saying in churches,bars,offices,etc.For you to give them a lead is like saying Wakenya ni wapumbavu(Emmanuel’s teacher used this word on him the other day-I guess he doesn’t know the meaning).
Ponder this.
1.Should we pass a document just because it cost us billions?(Goldenberg has been forgotten).
Which Christians and Hindus asked for their courts? Even the Indian constitution does not have Hindu courts!
2.Why must a president garner 25% from 35 districts to be declared president? Only one community can qualify-you know which one(which wanjiku gave this view?).
3.Parliament will have to enact 66 clauses in this document (they rarely pass 4 laws in a year!).
Don’t help Kibaki to rig the referendum.
All opinion polls in the past have given Orange the lead.Now the message being spread is that hii ni vita ya Kibaki vs Raila.How do you vote for a referendum when a sitting president has an interest in the vote?
Kikuyus could be many,but majority of them are wallowing in poverty-thus the high crime rate.(2 families in Kawangware/Satellite had their members assassinated by hitmen in the last two weeks).
The emotions you allude to are linked to the frustration/hopelessness that majority of us are going through,not the referendum.
Imagine people are selling voting cards for 100/=!
A banana MP whose vehicle was set ablaze by rowdy youths asking for money in Kakamega said:”hio Prado walichoma sio neno-I have three others more expensive kuliko hio.”That is Hon. Bonny Khalwale for you- and this arrogance is what our current parliament will need to enact 66 laws in two years!
All the above are signs of a revolution.
We need one among us to strike the match.
Couldn't agree with you more. However one good thing did come out of all the billions spent in the referendum. Those damn kikuyus just found out what happens whe you push a real kenyan too far.
