Hurray!! The referendum period is now over. After months of noise in the public domain, we can now get back to important things, like the coming Christmas holiday (oohh! and building the country).
Voting is sooo exciting!! I could vote everyday if it was possible! Kenyans came out in their numbers, some 6 million people, and 57% of them rejected the proposed constitution. That number includes ME!!
Thankfully, the process was very peaceful, not to mention free and fair. We are quite the democratic bunch, arent we?
There are a number of things that came out of this period. One, the loong weekend, from Saturday to Tuesday. Needless to say I did absolutely NOTHING!! I loved doing nothing.
Two, we once again proved that we know what democracy is. Its not a big concept to wage war over, just the ability to go to a polling station, cross a space on a paper, place the paper in a box, and wait for the results.
The next voting period is two years away, and in that period, knowing how Kenyans are, we will see all sorts of things in the political arena. I wonder whats next. It had better be accompanied by a long holiday.
I-Vote, Therefore, I-Rock!!
