I kindly beg to differ, though I may not agree in totality with Mutahi Ngunyi I think a new constitution is not the prescription that we badly need. To me the constitution voted on August 4 and declared on August 27 has never being and will never be the change that Kenyans deserve and have long craved for. The on going discussion on its implementations brings to the fore ill motive behind some of us when campaign for the referendum. Yes, this constitution antagonizes everyone is true why send some home and save others if our hands are bloody as you claim why send all judges and magistrates home, are they bloody than us. secondly, the right honourable prime minister said the new constitution have no provisions for provincial administration yet that was an issue that was even the president said that was false during campaign has someone now seen the light or is a proud owner of new eye glasses? What has changed? The list is long but the bottom line is 1o new constitutions are not going to give us the long elusive change we badly need. Our attitudes have to change. We need to hold our leaders accountable and not just accept things just because our leaders have said it is the way.
