I am slowly getting convinced that Kibaki is in the NO side. I am led to believe this after looking at how passionate Obama was about the Health bill which he had promised Americans as one his priorities when he comes to power. Obama was so passionate about seeing this bill pass that no amount of insults from the Republicans (Ku Klux Klan!) would have made him give up. The effort he put in made the bill go through.
1.Now back home, why hasn’t Kibaki made a roadside pronouncement and instructed the Treasury to release Ksh 200 million needed by COE for constitution education? Well, the Minister of Finance is Uhuru Kenyatta, the Permanent secretary is Mr Kinyua and the Governor of Central Bank is Mr Ndungu. All these are Kibaki’s appointments and close friends! \
2.Two. Can anybody tell me which side is Lucy Kibaki. I have not seen her or heard from her for a long time. The way I know her, she must be a NO person. I stand to be corrected on this. Knowing how much power she wields over her husband, would I be wrong to suggest that she is the one who is holding the key to the treasury?
3.Kibaki and Bishop Njue are age mates, friends and from the same church…. Ok…

I am smelling mischief here. The whole damn thing should just be called off. We can then continue with our corruption, slashing each other come 2012,etc. Meanwhile me and my family are relocating to Mogadisho, Somalia. It is safer there…

@magigi...how do you know Lucy?
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

True, something fishy is cooking and we might be in for more suprises. Remember the chronology of these events;

1. Wako takes 30 days sitting on a draft without making the supposed editions.
2. The words national Security is inserted on some of the draft copies
3. Justice Nyamu rushes back from the court of Appeal to make a ruling along with other High Court Judges to make a ruling on an issue petitioned 6 years back.
4. Despite funds for voter education having been budgeted for, the same has not been released by the treasury.

The above points to some powerful forces in govt opposed to the draft constitution. Who could these masked faces be?

He would be joining many other Kenyans who are getting persuaded every passing day to vote NO.

We need to be discussing answers to the question "What if NO wins?"

if NO wins, we all lose. Do you think all the subvertive opposition to the constitution is for YOUR good, or for the good of the corrupt in power?

How is that for a solution on 5th August 2010?

The No camp are in it as of right and genuinely believe they are right. And as masukuma would say they too want a new constitution founded on justice and fairness.

Somehow u have a point
But don't mistake his silence for lack of enthusiasm.In 2005, he didn't campaign at all.It was assumed he was a YES person because of the words and actions of those close to him(Kiraitu, Michuki, Lucy). He did not even attend YES rallies like he is doing now.

In 2005, the only statement he made that could indicate he was a YES person was 'Katiba tushatoa,kila mtu asome na hii katiba inapeanwa ovyooo'

Why would Kibaki oppose the draft?
1.It's transitional clause grants Raila increased advantage since it requires that all appointments be done in consultation.
2.He is a big land owner
3.

Why would Kibaki back the draft?
1.His legacy, arguably tainted by the 2007 skirmishes and corruption can be redeemed by delivery of a new constitution during his tenure and he becomes the head of state who promulgates it.
2.It contains most of what his lieutenants have been advocating for all along:Presidential system, devolution of resources with minimal devolution of power.

I think he's for it, though I could be wrong
What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing
