my prediction - unless ocampo can develop a serious case (had a recent one thrown out) and also win over the AU, ruto will be the most sought after politician in the 2012 elections.

reason - the 4M yes votes has at least 6 'presidents' to thank. the 2M no vote has a max of 2 'presidents'.

Ruto must be smiling wherever he is

As the political leader of the NO side he will claim that the 33% RED vote was by his supporters thus becoming a big-time kingmaker in 2012

Over to u ocampo

Those vilifying the Reds are participating in USHENZI.Did we vote in a new constitution so that we can opress others?

It's time for UNGWANA.We move forward as one nation making necessary amendments while knowing too well that we can't make 100% acceptable document.Unless we are a dictatorship

I'm siding with Kadonye on this one.

My hope is that once this new constitution is in place, we will have less government in the life of the Kenyan citizen (ningeomba serekali...). If this is achieved, then whether Ruto can deliver 33% of the votes will not be as significant as before since resource allocation will be guaranteed and segments of the population will not be marginalized with the "when funds are available" refrain that was common during the Moi presidency.

In the end, wealth creation is normally the domain of private enterprise and not government.

Please stop the insults. When democracy wins everybody wins. I agree with you though that 33% is a significant figure and cannot be ignored and I believe that Kenyans are now more than ever before ready to deal with issues more soberly. Today I'm proud to be Kenyan.
