Why i regret voting YES for new constitution

President Kibaki , the new constitution was adapted during his tenure

Each time I take a newspaper to read nowadays I immediately froze due to what is printed, similar watching the news or listening the radios, its such a pity for our Nation. The kind of politics we have in Kenya makes one wonder if that's how other countries behave.


This kind of politics makes me wish why we never agreed with then, Minister of Higher Education , now our Deputy President William Ruto, who was saying we should wait and scrutinise the new constitution that was about to be adapted . This was in 2010.
The current constitution has made the country look like its a children playing ground where any child as long you are from the neighbourhood can join and play. When children are playing, you will see them very happy and with a lot of noise, no one is ultimate leader, and anyone can give orders. You will see the team losing crying and shedding tears and sometimes, some of those kinds go on to complain to their parents.
Our Politician do similar thing, each day you wake up you will never miss them in any channel you switch on, newspaper and radio, its them playing their game .
When Deputy President was talking against the news constitution, he was saying there are a lot of grey areas that need more time to understand the chapters outcome.

Deputy President William Ruto was leader of NO camp

Chapter 26, which talks about Right of life was one chapter that made the church and Hon. William Ruto need more clarification. This was because , point number 3 and 4 states- A person shall not be deprived of life intentionally, except to the extent authorised by this Constitution or other written law.
(4) Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained health professional, there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger, or if permitted by any other written law
This was seen like a way of permitting abortions indirect as long a legal procedure is put in place, which I think it has made it impossible to prosecute medics caught doing abortion. This is because the requires the woman involved to be a state witness . As any normal person knows, its not possible for this to happen as the woman will not want to be on spot.
The constitution also has made it impossible for president to handle some matter with speed that it deserves. A good example is when the Deputy Inspector of Police was retired. This was after it was claimed that the way police force ways of operating was wanting and the blame was on the officer whose that role was on, Deputy police IG. To make the matter worse, the opposition started shouting that it was un procedural for President to replace the officer. This was because the officer was from a community that seems to support the opposition, thus it was an entry to try and show that community how the government is harassing them. Remember, this was after report emerged that, the police were slow to react at Garissa University attack, at Garissa bus attack and several attacks in Lamu.

This is not the first time that the President order has being stopped by opposition through means of court injunctions. It seems our opposition all they know is opposing anything the government proposes. From Lap top project to SRG , Police reform to Youths projects and many more.
If you drive in major towns of what is called opposition strong holds, you will be amazed how the county government is working. The roads are getting worn out, the hospitals are ruining out of drugs and Doctors are looking for green pastures in other countries, yet this is what we were told in good devolution.

Raira Odinga-Leader of Opposition

When out great solders were abashed and killed in Somalia, the opposition were at it again claiming that the government sent young solders with no experience. This beats all logic as one may tend to ask, are there solders who are recruited to die and others not, are there department of who is supposed to die and not. Once again turning a very tragic situation in to a political talk.
Thus, if asked, this constitution is not good for our country as it was tailored with some hidden agendas. I recall former President Moi saying. One of the principal authors of the constitution is known world wide to write constitution that later brings chaos to those countries.
The Euro bond saga, and after opposition promised to give names of people who benefited from the said money. I was amazed when we were given names of government officials who were doing their duties. I think benefiting is different from doing job you are employed to do.
This shows all the opposition is out to do, is make it hard and difficult for the government of the day.
Thus I just wish we did heard Deputy President call by then , to VOTE NO.

Standing with KDF

For sometime now I have being quite from this platform, but that's does not mean I was off on line, I was in my other site https://www.flickr.com/photos/peternjorogecom/,https://twitter.com/PMnjoroge and Facebook, Mwaura wa Kabakuri.

I wish to talk my mind on what I believe as far the issue of KDF killing in Somalia is concerned. Kenya has enjoyed a well brandishing economy due to our security being good. Even though we have several terrorist attacks, Kenya is one country that entire universe cannot live without, any serious country that wants to develop and which knows that Africa in the next big thing in forms of economy powers must align herself with this great national called Kenya.
Tourism's is one sector that has helped Kenya economy to grow and its something that the four government that Kenya has seen since 1963, has put all effort needed to make it safe and accessible.
This went all well until Somalia government of Saide Barre was overthrown and the country has never known peace at all, make you this is third decade since Said Barre was overthrown.
Somali has seen several functions claiming to be legitimate to govern her, but each time another function comes up and conflict starts. The worst that has happen in Somalia in the emerging of Al-shabab terror group.
This terror group was terrorising Somalia people and later on decided it can step its terror acts to our beloved country Kenya and in that matter Mombasa. With a well calculated move this terrorist decided to attack our tourism industry by abducting our guests in Mombasa. This was a well calculated move to start war with Kenya as they knew that's one of back bone of our economy.

After several such abducts, the then government of President Mwai Kibaki decided enough is enough and on October 16, 2011 the Kenya mighty army KDF crossed Kenya Somali border with one aim of , one Protecting Kenya integrity and two try and restore peace in Somalia with hope of Somalia government taking control after her withdraw.

Since KDF entered Somalis, the military has helped to give social services like clean water to starving Somalia people, medical service and food. This has seen the locals welcoming the KDF to live among themselves, but as its known, among your friends , its an enemy.

The recent killing of KDF in   El Addw Somalia shows hoe this enemy is so determined to destroy our nation. Killing our sons and taking pictures which later were seen on line shows how the terror group has no human value and does not respect it. Those solders were our sons,brothers and fathers who were there to keep us safe.
as i type this blog am feeling safe due to security offered by our security organs, those organs has young men and girls who said they want to saf4egurd our nation with their lives, may God bless you plus the wombs that give such courageous Kenyan.
When one joins any form of discipline forces, you are made to be aware that if that enemy sees you first and pulls the trigger,you are done, thus its upon you to see him/her first.
This means , death in within arms reach always. I know its not anyone will to die in any form and if its our wish, we would like to live forever.
Is USA, when they were fighting with Taliban, young energetic solders who graduated are the once sent in such areas plus few experience once. This is because you cannot expect a 45 yrs plus solders to do what a 25 yrs will do, that's why even after graduating from military training, if you want to join regiment like paratroopers, you must prove your ability through a very vigorously training.

Am saying this as a section of few Kenyans Politicians were on media saying that the government deployed young solders who have no war experience.The routine of military is to exchange platoons, company or battalion deployed at certain intervals. That's why this company was only two weeks old in Somalia.

I think what i may worry is that, it seems like Alshababa got more information about our solders strategy than what our solders got. Maybe we need to up our intelligence and work out any small or major information that comes our way.
As we honour our solders, i still have great faith and respect in the
God bless Kenya God bless KDF.
