The ‘critical few’ want a referendum, and they will get one

The constitutional referendum will happen. It will happen because the ‘critical few’, the ‘wenyenchi’, want it to happen. The ‘trivial majority’ - the ‘wananchi’ - have no choice. There are three reasons why ‘watus’ will be lining up at the ballot soon. 

The first reason for the referendum is member number one of the ‘critical few’, Raila Odinga. For him, the referendum will happen because the presidency is has become like the eye of a needle through which he can’t pass. Raila has been like the biblical rich man who has less chances of squeezing into the presidency, much like a camel can pass through the eye of a needle. Instead of wasting what could be his last chance to go through the tiny opening in 2022, Raila’s genius plan is to make the eye of the needle wider. If the executive branch is expanded, Raila will be included in the new configuration one way or the other. And if one position has to go to Raila, it will be the presidency.
