Referendum: Regional rotational Presidency.

Seems like the forthcoming referendum will be squarely about rotating presidency and power sharing to be divided into four main regions; Nyanza/Western, Rift Valley, Mt Kenya/sections of Eastern, Coast/Northern/sections of Eastern. There are talks of having a one term 7 or 8 years president. Would you vote yes to this?
BBI will solve it :)

These Regions still exist and how will they control the region where one comes from? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Remember Rebecca Nabutola? Lunjes complaining they didn't havr enough positions because she's a Mwikali? Lilian Omolo too? She morphed into Mbogo & Wanja. Perhaps to 'return' her where she belongs.

These Regions still exist and how will they control the region where one comes from? Imagine they still do politically. I'm still wondering if this will unite us or divide us further. But for sure without this, the top sit will only 'ideally' go to 4 tribes but 'realistically' 2 tribes.

We should support this. It will mean, in the long term, that our political parties will have to become political parties and cease being personality cults that they are now. Jubilee if Ruto & Uhuru part ways formally will die. ODM bila RAO is dead. KANU lives because of Mois and property owned by the party. We don't have parties. Eventually, when we vote for Chirau Mwakwere's party, we will know his reign will be close in leadership style to how President Joseph Nanok's reign was if they're from the same party. Downside: Minorities within regions will never win. We'll have diffused a national problem into a regional one. Intra-regional ethnic conflicts(with violence  ) could increase.

Huh! In this regions, there are tribes. Within those tribes, there are sub-tribes, clans and sub-clans. To avoid any Form of conflict, it would be sensible to take the Presidency to the smallest unit within a sub-clan. That would give my cousin a chance of being Prezzo in the next 3000 years {upuz}.

Before you think of referendum...prepare for the census first which is more important. Where will your presence count? Will you be counted in Nairobi where you live or in Gakoromone where you come from? If you will be counted in Nrb, good...your constituency and county will get more funds for CDF and you will be represented in parliament. The county too gets more money. Given that you will be in Kasarani and not gakoromone your home constituency may be rendered useless and taken off representation in parliament, your home county might receive less funds too. If you will be counted in gakoromone, then North Imenti survives. You will have a MP in parliament with CDF funds and more allocations for Meru county. But then again, you starve the constituency where you live of funds and maybe representation in parliament for the next 10 years. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

As a nation, we have to come to the terms with the fact that we are an amalgamation of tribes. Regions are amorphous but tribes are real. Devolution should have worked well but the Nairobi Hangover has refused to go. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

Devolution should have worked well but the Nairobi Hangover has refused to go. Politics is about the people, not geography. And the people belong to tribes. Also political power starts from the clan, to the tribe, then region and finally nationally. Thus strong tribal nations are key in forming a strong Kenyan nation. Just like strong families form strong communities, strong tribal nations form strong nations. I advocate for stronger tribal identities.

Even in the United Kingdom where they founded parliamentary democracy 1,000yrs ago and from where we borrowed our democracy from, it is the dominant 'tribe' the Englishmen from England that call the shots and the welsh from wales, scots from Scotland and Irish from Northern Ireland have to dance to their tune. It's the tyranny of numbers over there and also all over the world.

This is why I think that Rwanda will erupt again like it did in 1959 and 1994 because a minority tutsi (15% of population) can not rule a majority hutu (85%) for long. Democracy is about majority rule.

More and more isolated, I can only smell a disastrous end. He happens to be the EAC Chair but no longer on talkinng terms with Museveni and Burundians cant dare step in Rwanda or else they're killed....... As that presidency suggested above, of sijui 8 years, uppus. Hiyo ni madimoni inasumbua wakenya. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

As that presidency suggested above, of sijui 8 years, uppus. Hiyo ni madimoni inasumbua wakenya. This is nonsense. I agree with you Simonkabz. Can you imagine 8 years of Ruto? There's nothing wrong with our constitution. You just voed thuraku thuraku and raila tosha. If women reps are bringing a problem, imagine getting the Turkana comedian governor as your president. We can't go to the route of rewarding tribalists. Because that is the suggestion here. You reward Joho because he's from coast. Let's be serious. The problem is Kenya is not tribes...It is thieves. Thieves don't have tribes. Ati rotational tribalism. It's like a women's chama. You know the last person in the group is the one who's f***ed. This is a useless stupid and absolutely nonsensical idea. We vote for the best people. Not your f***ing clan. Lakini, what do I know...You all voted for Uhuru or Raila.. Stupid!!!!!! But I know, Kenyans as stupid as they are will vote for this stupidity to a man. They think their problem is the tribe. Kenya's problem is thieves. Can you in your f***ing referundum agree that some who's gone to court for stealing should never ever efa efa become an MCA? Nope!!! The church needs tithe.. Stupid Kenyans...That's the most stupid idea I have ever heard in my life. Vote for a stupid fool, just because it is time to eat...Kabila yangu ndio itashinda. Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot to say. I normally think that Kenyans just have bad luck... But surely...This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my life. Rotational Tribalism. PS. Don't use those words above without paying me 1 gazillion ndoras. But I have never heard something soooooooooooo stupid. Afadhali Ruto. Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

Will this be in the context of a powerful PM? What issues would such a vote resolve? When the elite make such a proposal,it's advisable to tread carefully.
