@Pastor M
As much as we should be worried about erosion of morals (which is unfortunately on the rise and would have continued with or without the katiba process), most of us observe that the church went to far. To an extent of twisting facts and fabricating lies to influence the congregation to vote NO. I agree the church has a moral obligation and every right to stand its position and teach its people. What I fully disagree with, is the extent to which part of the church intruded and tried to influence individuals decision making. Thats brainwashing!
The church failed us big time here by behaving like politicians who sometimes take advantage of iliterate and semi-iliterate folks in the country. Decision making should have been left to individuals after teaching them the TRUTH and making sure that they understood.
I am convinced like many have said here that there are so many true christians who voted YES.
@ All -My take; this victory is a big sign of improvement in literacy in Kenya which is fundamental in development because of its influence in politics and governance. Majority of people read,understood the document and made THEIR OWN DECISION and I hope this is the new trend in especially in choosing our leaders.
@ Religious leaders – we need you, we need the church but you have no right over our freedom in decision making and not at the expense of our freedom of choice.Period!!!!

The church should now organize a major Uhuru Park rally to thank God for a peacefull referendum and reconcille Kenyans so that we can all celebrate and participate in the Rebirth of a new country.

I went against the counsel of my good bishop Njue by voting YES - its my hope and believe that come sunday he will preach love to all.

@ Seeders

Dont get me wrong; by suggesting that the church has a right to stand its position, I mean the church had a right to criticize the draft and highlight the issues that were of concern to them and warn the congregation on such issues.
However in my opinion, the church had no right to take people to the barrot box and suggest that they vote no. The church shouldn’t have lied to its people about the constitution in a bid to influence their choice. Thats what I mean.The church should have separated itself from politicians.
It all depends on how you want to look at it and what you want to see.

...We know the clergy was right on issues of Islam, Kadhi courts, clause on foreign laws and abortion!!! The issues on land was just political...

@extrablessed

Na si sasa unatuchanganyisha? Was Islam ever a contentious issue?

Let me ask a very humble question. The OLD constitution (or is it still current?) states clearly that abortion is ILLEGAL. We all know that there are thousands of women dying due to procurement of abortion every year in this country. What has the church done so far to address this problem? Is it just to have it put on constitution? why havent we heard any person cry out to have laws implemented to curb this vice that has entrenched in our daughters' lives for so long? Ok. we can put it in the constitution as it was earlier, but what did the church do to compel the law makers or the government to ensure that this is followed. And what did it intend to do differently this time?

Let it be known to everyone that i do not support abortion whatsoever.
