This is unbelivable, Wainana, I totally agree with you.. on that statement.
and I will quote it again
"My vote would easily change to a resounding "NO" unless I am assured by
the Constitution that no Sheikh or Buddist monk, Hindu priest or Christian
cleric will get away with the absurd audacity of attempting to determine
where I watch my Supersport matches, what I drink as I do so; where and
what I can smoke or drink in an independent secular KENYA."
