Push to amend Constitution should be led by neutral team

As an observer, I have followed with keen interest the ongoing campaign by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) to amend the new Constitution. Although the agitations kicked off almost a year ago, one thing that has remained very clear is that the campaign is yet to gain momentum.

Under the umbrella of Okoa Kenya, the leadership of the coalition has only achieved one thing; the collection of 1.4 million signatures. This is far below the target of 5 million that CORD leader Raila Odinga had declared the coalition would collect.
