KCB, the Media Owners Association and the Safaricom Foundation this past week launched “Kenyans for Kenya” – an appeal to ordinary Kenyans to raise half a billion shillings to help mitigate the effects of the drought in northern Kenya.

Nothing ever proceeds as expected in Kenya. Our politicians and bureaucrats are masters and mistresses of double-speak — appearing to do the right thing, while quietly undermining whatever process is underway.

For all East Africans, the memories of this year’s soccer World Cup will forever be blighted by the bombings in Kampala during the 11 July 2010 final.

So the census results are finally out, a year after the fact and just in time for the immense amount of planning needed to affect the devolution envisaged under the new Constitution.

This is it! By the end of next week, we shall know whether or not we finally (finally!) have a new constitution.

We have just over one week to go! Just over one week to know whether or not the means of capturing and using power will change.
