Thanks Otieno Sungu and thanks my namesake Elijah Kombo for keeping the debate going. My namesake is full of contradictions in his contribution. Yes Kissis are fiercely independent. Yes this true and I know it because lived there for two years while doing my A levels in Kisii land. This being the case why does Kombo then expect the Kisii Community to dogmatically vote NO for a document that addresses all the key problems of the ordinary man and women in this country? And even Kombo and his co. know it. Why should nd. Kombo challenge anybody to waste money in translating the draft Constitution into local languages when it is common knowledge the NO camp has and continues to make sure that majority of people don't get access to draft!. It is on record that some churches have hidden copies of the draft constitutions away from the followers. Kombo have you forgotten how a truck full of copies of the constitution was destined to be burned so that the masses don't get to knowing the plain truth contained therein. This then fits well into one your strategies of keeping the masses ignorant …. If you have NOT read the constitution or don't understand even one clause in the constitution, then turn red. VOTE "NO".
Thirdly it is very demeaning and almost arrogant for Mr. Kombo to imply that apart from him and those in his small camp, the rest don't understand what is going in Kisiiland! No brother. No. Times have changed and thanks to IT!
It is indeed sad that a few of sisters and brothers have decided to remain at the red light when the whole country is moving on becomes the lights have turned GREEN. We have surely lived and we all know very well "The NO Generation of Constitution dispensation for the last 40 years".
Mr. Kombo are you trying to persuade us to continue in this NO generation? Oh NO. Give us a break. Let Kenyans of good will continue with Grand Green Match to a truly and meaningful GREEN Revolution. And YES 4th August 2010 is GREEN D-DAY.
In the meantime as struggle continues let's pray to Almighty God to keep well and safe so that we can all vote to the last person YES come 4th August, 2010.
Regards
Elijah Agevi
Happily in GREEN Corner

Mr. Sungu: You got it all wrong my friend as far as I am concerned; if you call these shenanigans by President Kibaki and PM Odinga fair play i.e. the blatant disregard of the rule of law via the abuse of police powers, abuse of the civil service code of conduct and all applicable laws, use of fear and intimidation by the very top principles responsible for upholding the law; I mean the list is long, then all is lost Mr. Sungu. It is desperation of the highest order and I am not afraid to stand at the edge of the cliff and refuse to join the multitude, you can slice it any way you want but this stinks to mighty heavens and regrettable, I will be proven right soon enough. This thing is more about egos than what is right for Kenya, simple, period end of story. The "No" and "Yes" folks have giant egos to nurse for ages, I am one to tell you ego is not an issue here guys, I am not running for office, Ruto is, Odinga is, Musyoka is and Kibaki has a legacy to leave behing, a very bad mix for sobriety. Now as for Kisiis, I am very proud to be counted as one of the fiercely independent groups of people in Kenya, it is in our genes and I have no apologies for it. Unlike our neighbors to the lake who are tightly beholden to one family, Kisiis are not and our voting patterns reflect this fact; just look at South Mugirango, PNU lost, ODM lost; the draft will lose in Kisii as well not so much because I said it but generally because it doesn't fulfill what it should and as for what it portends to offer, it is all a vacuum designed for political calculations, that is all. I maintain, this thing is wrong, the process is rotten and gets worse by the day, laws are flagrantly flouted by the president; so I don't see how anyone on the "YES" side can legitimately claim victory but for the crooked and nefarious way they have gone about this thing. It is wrong and my conscience dictates I stand by the truth, for me this is not a popularity contest; it is what is right for me and my country, by most counts, this AIN'T IT!
