Let's dialogue before we go the referendum route

My natural instinct is to be suspicious of the intentions of politicians, especially when they claim to be seeking the public good. However, being a long term "stakeholder" in the reform process, I will give promoters of the Okoa draft the benefit of doubt.

Despite my instinctive suspicion, I will choose to believe their intentions are honourable and that they desire to accomplish positive reforms for Kenya. Their choice of a referendum as the route to reforms is a legal and justifiable way to pursue change. In any event the Constitution is not like the law of the biblical Medes and the Persians, which could not be changed once passed.
