First mimi sijasomewa. Nimejisomea mwenyewe though sijasoma in detail the way lawyer's do
Secondly, no constitution is perfect.
So why will I vote for BBI?
First let's accept our politics divides us along tribes with the major division being along the tribes of Kikuyu/Gema, Luhya, Luo, Kalenjin,Kamba & pastoralists. Everyone wants to feel part of government but currently there is only the position of President & his deputy. In Nigeria its easy for them to rotate because their division is between Christians & Muslims. But here in Kenya we have 42 or so tribes. So even if we do rotation presidency, watu watafikiwa lini? The BBI solves this by expanding the executive to include Prime Minister & his Deputies. To me this is a win. Some will say it's costly which is true but look at the bigger picture of how much our economy gets affected as we approach elections.
Secondly the BBI proposes 7 year tax break being given to youth who start business is good. This will encourage people to start businesses without the monkey of KRA on their backs. The finer details of such proposals will come later.
Thirdly, counties will now get a minimum of 35% from the current 15%. There will also be ward development fund. This will definitely spur growth mashinani.
The BBI also talks tough about corruption. Implementing is another thing all together. But my personal view is that shida ya Kenya is looting. I was impressed with TNA 2013 manifesto on how to deal with corruption & that's why I voted for Uhuruto. The fact that the anti corruption proposals will now be in the constitution and not in a party manifesto is a big step forward Deal with corruption and in 5 years you'll see economic opportunities in plenty.
However, the BBI has some flaws too. We will have too many MPs.
Personally, I give the document a B+.
I will vote for it.
Now let's engage/debate constructively
