Some very interesting proposals.
Give us a hint.
Certainly, the outcome of Meru rally will shape BBI debate going forward.
I visited Mt-Kenya last week and the 'Thuraku-thuraku'-kwa ground are eagerly waiting for this referendum and to quote them, they want "To teach Uhuru a lesson" that they are not merely a voting machine.
They voted for Muthamaki who not only abandoned them but used government machinery to wipe-out their livelihood.
Two months ago, BBI was "ile kitu ya raira".
Today, and this is a testament about how to shape public opinion, the average guy wants to know what is in this BBI thing.
1. There seems to be a consensus on 1-man,1-vote,1-shilling.
2. 15% budgetary allocation to agriculture. Hidden in that allocation is a subsidy program being called minimum return guarantee to farmers.
3. 67% of cabinet from inside parliament. 33% from outside.
4. Mt kenya development authority (like KVDA,LBDA).
5. The executive premier is a contentious one. Being tied to the one man one vote.
