Referendum is not for the common ‘mwananchi’

Since the return of "Baba", the media has been all about dialogue and referendum. I have been watching the panels, TV interviews and so far have not seen anyone from the so called opposition explaining what they aim to achieve with the referendum.

Me the "Mwananchi" (the owner of the country) together with my fellow “wananchi” the 42+ tribes of Kenya all we want is clean food on our tables, clean water flowing from our taps, electricity that is affordable, schools that enlighten our children and not over burden them with heavy bags on their backs and nothing in their heads.
