If some politician with fanatical following announces that he has been rigged out, no new constitution will prevent his/her followers from starting the kind of mayhem we saw in 2008.
Roads will be blocked, shops looted, 'enemy' sympathisers forcefully evicted etc.
If Matiba was such a politician, the same would have happened in 1992.
Granted, 40million Kenyans can never all agree on everything, but when a substantial constituency like the church, and a good chunk of Kenyans have REAL issues they want sorted, surely a way ought to be found to bring them on board and take their input into account.
The REAL issues have been raised elsewhere, and though weighty, they arent many, hence can be sorted easily if the will existed.

Constitution making processes ought to be quite inclusive, as opposed to what we are experiencing in our case, where if the proposed laws pass, they are only likely to muster a dismall 50% - 60% approval.
Thus dividing the country down the middle.
That's most undesirable scenario for introducing of the supreme law framework in the land.
For general elections that would be just fine, but not so for a plebescite on the CONSTITUTION.
My take therefore is,if a short delay would help us ensure that the process is more inclusive to a tune of 75% upwards then we need take that bold step.
I am postive this is practicable.
It is a pity that Kenyans have recoiled to the old cocoons of shouting those of contary opinion down.
To us, anybody who does not agree with our view is the enemy, however sound his arguments may be!!!!
We need to think again.
