Opinion: Referendum is not for the common ‘mwanainchi’

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.

My opinion is the referendum is not for the common ‘mwanainchi’, standing on a podium ranting out your views is not the “mwanaichis’’ word. Me the "Mwanainchi" (the owner of the country) together with my fellow “wanainchi” 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.

There has been too much talk of late about corruption, have the politicians calling themselves “wanainchi” stopped and asked why the cops put up road blocks just to get some cash from reckless drivers and mostly matatus? Have the "wenye inchi" stopped and asked themselves why the parastatals are not producing? And many other questions?
