Ammendments kitu Gani?

You know, when you join a political Campaign, take a day or two to prove your worth ( if it is not already known) then demand you get terms, written or you get paid upfront. If you do good faith work, expect no pay or appreciation beyond thank you. . . really, what do you want?

If you complicate this alittle and you are given a deal, that you refuse outrightly and go on to campaign against the people offering you the deal, DO NOT turn around and require that the deal be honoured! it is absurd, it is naive.

So thos epeople talking about ammendments should know several things

1. They were thrashed so hard during the referendum they should first seek medical attention (counselling is apt)
2. Katiba ni Sasa!
3. political negotiations are over...if you want to, take a rope!
4. Katiba ni Sasa! was taken up by the people. Kibaki, Raila and Kalonzo are not the people...they are just three men who are good at using our money in the pretext that they are leading us
5. The PCK is now the de facto constitution of Kenya. Whether u like it or not, it will be the de jure constittution of Kenya on or before 20th August 2010...NO ONE can bwogo it!
6. The Constitution of Kenya has its own mechanisms for ammendment. Follow them or take a rope!
7. The constitution of Kenya MUST be implemented in toto!
8. Ammendments kitu gani? what do we ammend?

If you have not heard, Katiba ni Sasa! Katiba sio Siasa!

We've done it!

ELOG projected and said:

68.8% YES
31.2% NO


All the accolades go to Kenyans, who, having suffered the greatest injustices in the hands of the current constitution, having cried and been taken round and round by the political class, joined hands and said WE WANT! so loudly that the nay sayers walked around with eyes cast down...

AMEN!

Now the difficult part: implementation.

Wait: we are equal to it.

Harambee harambee tuvute pamoja
Tutekelezee katiba yetu!

Katiba ni sasa! Mageuzi ni Sasa!

Remaking the Country

vijana wanasema ati niko na date,

date mazee na destiny!

Haya.

Something interesting happened to me yesterday in Kalanzoni - Kilome Constituency, the backyard of Rev Kaleli, he of the Kabarak fame. I had just been treated to the sore sight of a white elephant in the name of a college that had been built halfway, abandoned and falling to waste: i said wow, see the waste!

And then i met this woman, who upon listening to us talk about the provisions in the PCK, wanted to know whether what i was reading is actually written in the document i was holding aloft. I said yes, and showed it to her, complete with a witness.

she sighed and said, Hiyo yako ni ile katiba ya YES!, lete ile ya NO! tuisome nayo.

I said mama, hakuna katiba ya yes naya ndio, there is only one Proposed Constitution of Kenya.

She said, you know you are like my son, don't lie to me, is there only one PCK?

I said yes!

and she said, if there is only one, and it is the one you were reading from, I will vote yes!

The crowd of more than fifty cheered us, and two pastors (they had collars at least) walked away...

AMEN.

breaking news!

moi yesterday said that torture, disappearances of people, violence, nyayo house chambers, disemployment of people, crackdown on non-nyayoists, the architecture of political buffoonery etc ad nauseum was for the good of the country.

want to know who was sitting next to him and clapped?

KOIGI wa Wamwere.

amen.

sing with me: Keeenya, nnnnchi yetu, tuuuunaipendaaa saana!

just a moment!

sisters and brothers,

ever asked yourself why we have not had a constitution so far despite the many efforts we have put (i mean a 24yr call is no mean time)?



i discovered yesterday.



we in Kenya behave like a bunch of spoilt children!



NO ABUSE INTENDED.



Imagine this: if you said something that was right, and i see you are glorified in it, and i see you have a point, i will do all i can to take you down a peg or two, just so that you feel my presence.



some of the christian clergy say that this constitution allows abortion, and that Art 26 (4) should have been written thus: "Abortion is not permitted." in their view this would stop abortion.



Prof Wanyande yesterday in a KARA meeting asked; what does the sixth commandment say? "Thou shalt not commit adultery"



Kenyans, Christians and all: Do you know anybody who has broken that commandment? If so, why did she/he do it? what encouraged him/her? or is it because it panders on adultery on demand.



I then knew why we have not had a constitution.

your date with destiny

We have come such a long way, such a long long way away.

But here we are, negating stasis, propagating positive motion of both mind and body, sacrificing ourselves along the way, all the way.

From the blood in the bushes during the Mau Mau to 'blood on the runway' (as one famous book on Wagalla massacre is known) during the height of dictatorial rule, to blood in the holy church (reminiscent of Njoya's renown beating), to bloody hands in the 2007/8 violence (all of us had blood in our hands, having murdered or watched murder or abetted murder: no Kenyan was spared), to the present where we have voices everywhere: shouting in the wildernesses of Kenya: vote no! vote yes!

we, indeed, have come along way away.

Phew! At least, everybody says that you must vote.

And that is the important thing, Kenyans must prepare to vote in the coming referendum, and vote for a position they can defend (without being hysterical about it) to the death.

I mention hysterical because all people who do not have good reason to do something, or people who have an hidden agenda - especially of self preservation-, or people who are maniacal, or people who are outright liars in a hurry not to be caught; all these people tend to shout, to yell, and to threaten.

Blessed are the truthful, for they shall not have to shout to make a point.

August 4th then is your date with DESTINY!

Vote for a new Kenya or vote for maintenance of status quo.

Tukutane kwa debe!
