It has happened. The unthinkable event took place last night. My teenage son could not believe his ears when I announced that I had changed camps. I have now shifted from the orange camp to the banana camp.
Here are the chain of events that led to my sudden about-turn
1) My analysis and research clearly shows that the Banana team will win on Nov 21st… and very comfortably at that.
2) I post an article to that effect in this blog. I then promise a series of articles detailing the disaster that will follow this predicted event.
3) I start my research, which must begin with a thorough reading of the draft constitution. To my surprise I find that a lot of the propaganda that has been flying from the orange team about the new constitution is NOT TRUE.
4) I change my mind about the draft constitution. No there were no banana team politicians to welcome me at a rally somewhere. No I was not paid any cash.
I still feel, like most Kenyans, that the Kibaki administration has short-changed Kenyans. I still believe that it has elements in it that are even more corrupt than the Moi regime. But I am now convinced that the draft constitution offers the best chance Kenyans have ever had of changing things for the better. Read the next post to see my listed reasons. Meanwhile I have to talk to the person who sent me the draft constitution in the first place ( a die hard orange supporter). My conversation with him will begin with the words, “YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE SENDING ME THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION, NOW SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THE ORANGE CAMP….
