  The constitution in its current form is comprehensive, simplified with clarity, coherent and understandable. However, some sections need refinement to enhance innovation and value added. Section (89) on conservation on the environment article (c) should be re-emphasized to include: education, awareness, senstization, catalyzation of interests and encouragement of public participation.

  Devolution at provincial level will bring Majimboism which will bring divisiveness. I beg them to do away with a hybrid system which will destroy the country through egos. They should limit the president term to 5 years and change the way ministers, PS and other high level government personnel are appointed through a vetting system. Amendments would have been better than a complete overhaul.

  Forget new constitution soon. We need more than what we have gone through as a country to have new a new constitution. Such as phasing out the current crop of politicians, or generation for that matter. Some players are already in selfish global tours from US to China to France to Sweden etc and when they come back they will make their contribution and that will be the end of this stories.

  Did we forget to remove the clause that a president should attain a 25% vote in five of the eight provinces that led to slaughtering of innocent people in 1992, 1997 and 2007? Why allow our regions to break us and not be democractic enough by "ONE MAN ONE VOTE" as we are all equal in persons and not tribe or clan. That clause is anti- democracy and MOI bought it to his advantage.
