Mkubwa Oficer Afande, I really do not like this “BBI-Animal” because the political class stand to gain way way more than regular Kenyans. We as a country can not at this point afford to finance a costly referendum or an expanded cabinet. The referendum will just add to our ballooning national debt.
However, and it is a big but, if BBI buys us peace during election periods so that tribes or communities are not incited to kill each other, or the fermenting of a nascent class war, so be it.
If BBI ensures political stability and economic stability during post election periods, where opposition parties are not calling for a campaign to boycott products from specific business owners, so be it!
If BBI can stabilize a market economy where a professionally run government machinery, with reduced corruption (to 10%) deliver on health, education, clean water sectors... then so be it.
With respect, neither President Uhuru Kenyatta, the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the Jubilee Kieleweke brigade and ODM BBI avid supporters can provide me or al Kenyans any guarantees. Passing BBI at the referendum is a collective risk we unfortunately must take.
