At last Kenyans have a long awaited chance to chart their future, the future of the coming generations and their country during the impending referendum. Kenyans must consequently enlist themselves for voting en masse and cast their ballot as a neutral stand will not help the process.  

Both the No and Yes proponents must not be driven by narrow vested interests. They must think long term and convince Kenyan citizens why they have adopted their respective stands. 

Kenyans presented their views on the constitution. These views were collected and harmonized by the Committee of Experts. The best that the government and other interest groups can do is to ensure that as many people as possible acquire voters’ cards and receive impartial civic education. 

Kenyans must be sober and know that for the first time, this is the constitution in which they have been architects. Being their child, an awesome opportunity confronts them either to go by the old constitution in which they had no say or the new constitution which gives them room to express their opinions and make amendments.
