@Magigi, strong sentiments. I watched NTV news at 9 and 63% of Kenyans seems to share your view - it's not Biden's business.

But I must wonder, what's the issue? Isn't it just democracy - let the people talk it doesn't mean anything.

US more than any other country will tell you the whole world makes US business, their business. That's why so many are trying to get in and Barack is considered a Kenyan etc....

@msotovile

I find it interesting that you can in one sentence say you don't like them meddling in our affairs, and in the next sentence quote 700 club, an american program. I will not even go to what I think about Pat Robertson and his ideas in the 700 club.

The truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not, the USA will comment on any issues. They will do so to their own advantage as it should be.

Those shouting that Biden or Obama should mind their own business have forgotten Ambassador Hempstone and the Moi "error".

Just as the No camp has been happy to get support from American right wing pastors and some Senators, let them not complain when it is obvious that there are others who think this new constitution is good for Kenya and say so.

However, it is up to the Kenyans and it won't matter what any other country says. But if you are used to get your advice from other people rather than understanding the constitution on your own, then you will definately find pain in what Biden had to say.

I am tired of asking the NO sayers what is wrong with the draft and i have decided to be arrogant until after the referundum.Biden or no Biden,it's GREEN all the way and the REDS can do NOTHING about IT.

@nanfor,
Very well said.

Interesting. I actually thought the No group, especially the church side, is rather arrogant in their silence. But I think they made their point and took the high road and decided they will not descend into the political arena. As they said, they will PEACEFULLY VOTE NO.

@Brewer....you made me laugh.

Ati the No team is silent? I would hazard that they have run out of lies to tell Kenyans. You can only lie so much before people start talking about you.

This very weekend I heard Pastor Mark Muriuki say

1. That the Yes vote was only 20% according to the recent polls -- I think that's a lie
2. That the gov't forced people not to attend their western province campaign ---another lie

Then we have your other brigade of "reformers"

1. Kutuny - threatening Yes voters in his area
2. Ruto - do I need to say anything

You see Brewer, the problem is that as Bush would say

"fool me once....fool me twice...."

Kenyans are no longer gullible.

@ Nanfor & Co.

1. I did quote 700 club - what they did is observe Ancient Egypt and modern America and find some rather disturbing similarities. Just coz the proggie hosts a "right wing" evangelist doesn't mean nothing good can come out of it. Methinks someone needs to approach some issues with an open mind...not an open mouth!

2. In my view, Biden shouldn't shove "solutions" down our throat. That's what the Bretton Woods Bullies have been doing for n years - a lot of good that has done us, innit?

3. In my earlier post, I never mentioned my stand as far as that joke of a new constitution is concerned (oops, now you know). All I said is that I find it strange that we should look up to a sick, debt-ridden and (almost) former super power for direction.

In closing, I'd say before y'all go drooling at everything Ole Biddy Biden says, remember that between 2003-2007 when Kenya gravitated more towards the middle and far east as trading partners, we managed to take care of 94% of our budget bila usaidizi. Your american and european pals are the same clots clogging us with EPA's and latter-day slavery agreements like AGOA.

ON THE CONSTITUTION
And for the record, I'm just a kawa hustler from River Road. I'm no constitutional expert - but, even as a layman, methinks we're handing over TOO MUCH POWER to the legislature....and we'll probably be whining about it a few years from now.

My two cents.

@ Msotoville.

Word!

by the way @msotoville, one of the reasons that we are still a third world country is not because of Bretton Woods or your next boogeyman, its because people like you have refused to learn how to read and write.

Words like "lemme", "coz', "proggie", "methinks", "innit", "lemme spelt it out", "Word!", etc are not REAL english words.

Shows that your logic is heavily borrowed from the American export of Movies. And movies are not real.

Capice?

@ Nanfor1
1. River Road isn't an excuse, it's my bread and butter...and I'm entitled to an opinion. Surmising an opinion you do not agree with as "poor logic" is telling - you shoulda been in the army, bruh!

2. An extremely powerful legislature is no different from an extremely powerful Executive. All you've done is snatch the keys to dictatorship from one idiot and handed it over to 349 imbeciles. Better yet, the people's watchdog has no-one watching over it. Brilliant, innit?
[For the record, I maybe "No" but I do not look up to a former KANU thug with a rapsheet as long as roll of tissue as a leader. If my opinion differs from him, that's coz it's my won FRIGGIN' interpretation]

3. Trashing the 700 club is a litte....er...what's the word..um...obtuse for my taste. You learn plenty by listening to different opinions without branding their proponents with labels (religious or otherwise) - my policy? Open mind...not open mouth!

Perhaps what I should ask of you Nanfor1 is should we go through whole alphabet shizzy...maybe give you time to catch up?
