Shame on you Shame on you @njunge

look its not the symbol that divided the country its the politicians and trheir greed for 2007 election

the essence of a symboli is to make it easy to vote and normally the symbols should be easliy distinguish from each other in terms of colours and shape smile Sad

How come there are still people who can't read in this day and age?

Instead of giving them symbols, thereby encouraging them to remain illiterate, we should stick to YES or NO [and names of candidates during normal elections]. Indeed, we should make life completely unbearable for illiterates. After all, primary education is free...and there is no age limit; as the late Kimani Maruge demonstrated.

@ blood vessel
I would rather my grandmother enjoyed her twilight years with the grand and great grandchildren instead of going to school so that she can vote

lack of consideration for people with lesser abilities than us is what has made us a man eat man society


though maybe not related to election and referedum I think literancy is overhyped I dont think we are any better than our great grandparents society

Fantastic idea, although I bet the No side will find fault with that.

Who are we kidding, they will find fault with whichever symbol they are allocated, just wait and see.
