The harmonised draft

It has been twenty years of waiting,praying and hoping for a new constitution.Try to imagine where you were twenty years ago and you will see the dashed hopes and prayers of many brave Kenya,some of whom have gone to the graves without seeing the fruits of their labour and sweat.

But,it is not like the constitution making process was started 20 years ago and then it went for a huge slumber.No,it was fought for and since then,illussions,frustrations have been its major foes.It comes too close yet too far to Kenyans and we hope this time round it not only come to close but it comes to roost.

Three governments,two presidents,billions of shillings,bloodshades,detentions,referundums,elections and 100 days promises have been the clouds that have hoovered over the finding of a new constitution.The cloud seems to have dissipitated and some flicker of light is beggining to emerge and grow,leading the path to a new constitution.

As partners in governance,especially the JPC,CEMIRIDE and radio Waumini, we have put our sweat into it,never throwing in the towel even when it seemed too hard...And now the draft is here. will it see the light of the day? or the same old wolves will grab and munch it? what are your views and suggestions to protect and popularise it through the debating period?
