All Patriotic Kenyans Must Support BBI Report
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2020 7:44 am
Over the past year and a half, in markets, media, social media, blogs, barazas, and many other places, millions of Kenyans made their opinion known about what they want to see in the BBI Report.
Obviously, no Kenyan would expect the BBI Constitution amendment to include 100% of what they wanted.
I am very happy with the BBI Report. Reasons why I am supporting it 100% are too many to write here. Just a summary: It is inclusive. It is pro-Kenya. It is pro-business. It is pro-youth…
Last year, I proposed the following to be incorporated into BBI (also here) - among other recommendations:
1. No nominated MCA, MP or Senator (DONE)
2. Leader of Official Opposition (DONE)
3. Fundamental Changes Regarding Appointment to JSC & Supreme Court (DONE).
There are many reasons why we MUST NOT have anymore nominated political positions, among them:
1. Nominations have been greatly abused. It was argued that some groups need to be nominated because they are disadvantaged…Yet, many people have been nominated, and ended up competing & winning during later Parliament/Senate/MCA elections. What happened to their “disadvantage”?
2. Days when important issues could only be discussed in parliament, are long gone. There is the media, social media, lobby groups…There are many ways for disadvantaged groups to make their voices heard, outside of Parliament/Senate/County Assembly.
3. A nominated Senator, who is a person living with disability, has publicly stated that he regularly visits the doctor who made him disabled - thru’ a botched medical procedure - because if it were not for the disability, he wouldn’t be a senator…
4. Some of the dumbest Kenyans have ended up in Parliament/Senate/County Assembly courtesy of being nominated…They do nothing in Parliament/Senate/County Assembly because they don’t even understand what their role there is.
Improvement on BBI: This needs to be added to final BBI doc: Deputy President can be sacked by the President. This takes effect immediately BBI passes referendum. Therefore, immediately BBI passes, current DP can, and will, be sacked.
This is very important because current Kenya DP has foreign spies embedded into him, and that is No. 1 cause of Kenya problems. Sacking him will destroy the criminal parallel government in Kenya.
