Some things are changing. What I have a bone to bick with is the pace at which it is going. do we have to push each other to the wall in order to see reforms? we had to practically kick Kivuitu and his team out (which by the way nullifies the whole election, including parliamentary elections which saw malpractic3es too). Do we have to push the people doing the constitution so as to get one by the time we go for elections? do we have to practically shove Ali and Ringera out of office (though I think reforms in the institution is more crucial than pinpointing one person, an individual). And do we have to all die so that we can settle the Mau issue, or the IDP issue? Does it have to take such a long process for things that are a matter of life and death? More importantly, I think lack of a conscience is what is affecting us. It is impossible to fathom that a mother with 4 children would be kicked out of her home, sleep in the rain and on an earthen floor for 2 YEARS while the reasons as to why she is there are busy fighting over non core issues. I believe it is time to ask us how and when we will start caring for ourselves. do not wait for the leader (less), do it yourself. hey, I agree with the fact that reforms are going on.

Over the years I have learnt that reforms are not in personalitites but in instituitions, just like you said. that is why kicking some people out of office will not help if we replace them with others who subscribe to a similar school of thought. We need to concentrate on pressuring those who are in office now to put in place pro-reform legislation and policies. We also need to take responsibility, accept the role we have played, contribute to the constituition reform process and be the change we want to see (cliche, I know).
