@Nanfor - arguments presented here on abortion have merit, so please dont try to make others look foolish - abortion has not mentioned as legal, all we are saying is that the language allows too open a space as to actually permit abortion by backdoor. This was presented to the arrogant pple at CoE and they did not think it warranted attention - see now that it is becoming even more controversial than kadhi's courts.

And can someone please tell the yes sayers to quit saying that kadhi's courts are in the current constitution - and using this to reject the argument of the clergy and the rest of us. I have not written this out yet, but there are differences that make the proposed implementation worse - and the current katiba therefore is a better bet. Ideally, we dont need these courts at all in the constitution. A statute at parliament level is a sure and fitting solution.

NO!

you should definately vote Yes if your issue is land.

Let me give an example. You all know who owned the land from githurai to thika.

If their original leases were 999 years, they can sell a lease to you for 99 years and lower. so when you buy the property, you own it for that time.

it immediately reverts to the original owner of 999 years. In other words, you will build property on their land and get nothing in return. Guess who remains richer?

the land clause is one of the best land clauses in the world. Please take your time and read it. It would be a very sad thing to revert to the present land laws in Kenya. Please I urge you again, ask a valuer or a land planner if you know one what it means to you. There is no space in this forum to do so.

@sigigiri

I am not against those against the clause. But I am very scared of those that say reject it because of that clause. Yet they are lying about its intepretation.

yes sigigiri. I have come to the conclusion that they are deliberatly lying. So sue me.

I would rather issues, real issues such as the ones that kingfisher and new farer are coming up with. Those are the real governance issues in Kenya, not some red herring upus about a clause that says something totally different.

the clergy has become a two trick pony and they want to drag the rest of us into their persistent misery.

Nanfor thanksApplause Applause .I hope the Parliament will legislate a law specifying whether the minimum clause applies to Urban areas and the minimum acreage for urban and rural areas.

First it seems to me that the No camp is gaining momentum...

I also get the feeling that many people( in both camps) do NOT know how the Katiba will fundamentally change anything!!!! esp. for those who are saying it is better than the old,yet can't list one thing that is better...if i am not wrong we will still have a powerful presidency.....etc etc........someone who is well versed with the 2 documents could take this debate to the next level( i am not,i will not pretend to be) i just think this is still hewa moto!

Gentlemen poking holes on governance and land and anything related to that are besides the shorcomings of this draft..
The COE did a perfect job on that area...

The main concerns are that this draft lacks as former LSK chairman Ahmednasir, is a Kenyan blue print, our values and chore beliefs.

eg
Sec 32 (2) "Every person has the right, either individually or in community withothers, in public or in private, to manifest any religion or belief throughworship, practice, teaching or observance, including observance of aday of worship.

and this
Chapter 1
article 2
(5) The general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya.

(6) Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under this Constitution.

The land commission is empowered to investigate historical land issues,so if someone was evicted by wabeberu and then that land bought by someone else after independence and has used the title as security, what will happen.............

This commission will for sure open a can of worms

about the structure of government;

The senate should have been a more powerful house than national assembly. As it is now , its only meant to protect the counties but on national issues its a toothless entity.

On land
there wil be a minimum..
theres no point to keep subdividing land that is already too small amongst your numerous sons.. as somebody put by the generation there will be nothing to own there but a 'rumour of land'.

So yes! there will be minimums land but categorised..In cities you could get a title deed for your house no matter the size it occupies.. but in rural area that are now densely populated..possibilities of being clamped into residential areas, leaving the rest for farming are high.
