same argument could be used by the no camp. moi, ruto and co represent less than 0.1% of the people voting no. with due respect to your list:
----dont mistake a person's visibility as a gauge of their patriotism. you probably know many maumau heroes that went to the grave penniless and unknown despite being on the front line. and dont get me started on the 'private sector big wigs'
----because you were right on one thing does not make you eternally infallible. i may respect what njoya did but i am not bound to agree with his positions for life.in the no camp are good people too who have paid a personal price and been selfless for the country - just that they did not make it to the headlines of your daily nation.
that is why i dont understand:
----the dogmatic pontification from people voting yes that anyone who criticizes a spelling, word or dot on the draft is a landgrabber or a religious nut. take a quick poll of the 220 thieves and see where that god-forsaken crowd leans. let me know if you arrive at less than 80%.
the dark black pot calling the grey kettle black... ----the amusing statements i repeatedly see here that the new constitution is the end-all of mps salaries, corruption, violence, extrajudicial killing, post poll violence, tribalism or even rape. yes, the constitution is changing. but it is being spearheaded by the people who
abused the old one. i really want to see this 'change we can believe in' that everyone is so excited about.
i just dont see it happening.

but other than ruto, some of the people in the no camp do have a point - If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drumbeat. —Henry David Thoreau
my biggest fear is with the 80% in yes comprised of bloody murderers, rapist financiers, anglofleecing alumni and goldenberg geezers who are now 'champions of change and proreform'. when did the transformational baptism take place because i think i missed it?
@seeders
I think those described there would be less than 1% at the very most of the YES group (That would make 50,000 people of a very conservative 5m voters). What is your take when people like rev. njoya, pal ghai, manu chandaria, wangari maathai, p lumumba, prof. nzomo, majority of the private sector bigwits and like minded people who are not politicians, have never been held with any corruption charges or known to advocate any issues that are not for the good of this country and they stand with this constitution and say it is good for kenyans. what do you think about them? Do you think they are also lying or have hidden agendas like the politicians?
