Vote for a better future with Kenya in mind

Well we all go to the polls next week, August 4th 2010. This will be a defining moment for Kenya's present and future generations. I have read the draft and followed the debate on the Proposed constitution. I have to admit that unfortunately many have ill interests as they contribute to the debate.

One thing we must realise as Kenyans is that we have the responsibility to make the right choice. As you vote think not what your superiors will say but rather what your juniors stand to benefit. The proposed constitution will not bring food on the table, we have to work and toil. However it will create the right institutional and structural framework to safeguard that which we work for. It will give ordinary Kenyans a chance to contribute to the welfare of the nation. No longer will few individuals manipulate the destiny of our nation.

About perfection, lets be honest when will we ever agree as a nation. The diverse interests informing the debate should tell you how diverse we are. So lets all work towards a better country and vote yes for the proposed constitution. The flaws in the draft, which are few, must be addressed within the new constitutional framework. The inadequacies in the draft are not a good enough reason to reject the draft. That is my solemn belief.

Do exercise your democratic right and vote as you please.
