Why referendum will polarize us

Whichever way you look at
it, this new Constitution is
going to leave the country
as polarize as ever . In
utterly foolish of us to
accept
to subject this
document to a referendum. I
say so because looked at
critically , this referendum is
only going ,to serve the
interests of the political elite
to whom it has strength and
score propaganda points
against
one
another.
Indeed , the biggest flaw in
the whole arrangement is
that it does not present the
citizen of this country with a
genuine chance to make an
Informed choice. While there
will be many proposals
which you will agree with ,
there are others you will
want to oppose vehemently.
Yet they still expect you
whether or not to have many
political parties. In that
country , the citizen was
presented with a genuine
choice to tick between
multipartyism
and
the
Movement system. In my
opinion, the first question
one must ask before he
votes on the referendum is
this , What propelled the
citizens of this country to
demand change in the first
place? Having answered that
question , you must then ask
yourself
whether
the
Constitution Bill which Mr
Amos Wako has presented
has what it takes to deliver
the fundamental
changes
reforms which Kenyans have
been craving for. We were all
agree that for the country to
experience
genuine
change
,we
had
to

managing directors of key
