beware here comes a constitution, our constitution

Ladies and Gentlemen;

Here comes a platform for national interaction, yes.... the constitution of Kenya 2010.

who are we
how do we engage
what is our point of entry

is it in the celebration
or is medias in res
or is it by critiquing others when they do
or is it in doing and taking the flak
or is it in watching...the watchperson for the watchword
or is it joining in in any of the constitutional commissions
or is it in philosophising from the countryside
or is it in taking the constitutional truth to the people
or is it in mobilising the people to do...what?
or is it in recasting the struggle
or is it in silence...consumed by irrational self-reflection
or is it in flamboyance: change has come, so why bother


people.

beware the change of slogan from Uhuru na Mashamba to Uhuru na Kazi...beware the change from KANU yajenga Nchi to Kanu ni Baba na Mama...beware the change from Moi must go to the MOU must be respected...beware the campaign mode that gripped this country from 1997...beware the reformers of yesterday...beware

now, what am i doing? insatiable ingrate? a pale aesthete?

haya. sawa.
