In my recent post, i highlighted that it is possible for parliament as presently constituted to amend the constitution. We now explore the question whether parliament should indeed do so.
Prior to this we also need to establish in whose interests such an amendment is proposed. Who is the ultimate beneficiary? Who will celebrate? Will the process elicit the same enthusiasm Kenyans had on 4 & 27 August 2010. Did the drafters of our constitution, in the very least, expect the Constitution to be amended in one year.
Needless say, any proposed amendment is not in the best interests of this country. We have one weapon, public participation. It is the shield with which we must stop any arrows of the adversary.
