That may change in the next couple of weeks, though. Religious groups and the National Convention Executive Council, which notably speaks for the civil society, are set to come out of their studious silence and challenge President Moi to honour his promises by allowing the constitutional review process to move forward. That challenge, as Safina party leader Paul Muite hinted last week, will take the form of mass action. Such a call is music to the ears to the disillusioned hawker on Kenya's streets as well as the hordes of jobless youth. But to investors, the call heralds a reversal of all the gains made over the past decade in spite of the depressed economic environment.
Someone needs to put out the fire before the house burns.
Let constitutional review proceed devoid of partisan interests. After all, it belongs to all of us.
