This kinda of looks like a cut and paste job of US and British constitutions, helped along by a shot of whiskey. Maybe CoE, start by giving the public your rationales. One suggestion, the US tax rate is 35% while Kenya’s is 55%. How about letting Kenyans vote their tax rate? Also, in 15 out of 24 years of Moi, and 5 out of 9 Kibaki years, Kenya’s GDP was less than 2 percent. This is the real problem, tenure in the executive office. Cut it short to one term, like Mexico does.

This is how our team of experts has decided to fix 2007 debacle. First by making the constitution just for ODM and raila. There is no foresight here but since Kenyans like learning from experience, I guess the next generation will have to fix it. The problem was simple; all the constitution needed is to rotate the presidency in all provinces. But the team of experts resulted to kill a mosquito using a bazooka. We will have the largest and expensive government in the whole continent with a lot of bureaucracy.

Are we still singing the same old song? How about to have a government that is really functional and not-so-power hungry and that cares for the welfare of all Kenyans, create jobs, improve hospitals, schools, colleges, govt offices, quit corruption, cut the cabinet posts, pay ministers and MPs reasonably, exercise taxes to every Kenyan regardless of the office they hold....on and on..how about that song? Real mzalendo can sing to it!!!
