Reasons Why Kenyans should Reject Rerendum calls

As the calls for referendum in Kenya intensifies, Kenyans should at least have some questions to ask themselves before embracing the calls. Kenyans should ask themselves if referendum is really necessary at the moment and if it will solve the current problems the nation is facing.

AU Head of Infrastructure Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga could be “selling” Kenya to China through his AU office.

The AU office has made Hon. Odinga Xi Jinping’s (China’s paramount leader) biggest friend. The handshake deal now covers Jinping’s interests, too. Therefore, Kenyans must be very careful with any proposition that pro-handshake politicians come with to them.

The fact is that the handshake made Odinga the AU special envoy in charge of infrastructure that he is today. Also, Jinping’s government is giving out loans (that enslave nations) generously to every African state that needs “infrastructure.”

When Odinga got the AU office, the first thing he said was that Africa needed more infrastructural development. This statement pleased Jinping. In Odinga, he saw even a bigger opportunity in Africa. They thus became friends.

Back at home, a group of attorneys have expressed concerns over what the handshake is doing behind closed doors. Specifically, they are worried that pro-handshake politicians and lawyers are drafting a new constitution with malicious intents.

Their intentions are to make the Kenyan electorate even more powerless, because “the ballot no longer delivers democracy.” They want to follow China’s example so they can establish an office for a paramount leader that shall do Jinping’s bidding.

Kenya is now Africa’s ambassador to the “Land of China Loan.” Apparently, the idea is that since Odinga is Africa’s head of infrastructure, Kenya (his country) must encourage other countries to take the China Loan by borrowing even more.

Now, Jinping is already dictating how this country should be run. They are making proposals about laws that should be changed and those that should be made. These laws are what both President Kenyatta and Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga are presenting to Kenyans in the guise of a referendum.

Jinping claims that he never interferes with the internal affairs of countries that are indebted to him. The truth, however, is that he does, only subtly, by influencing policy-making in the countries that are indebted to him. Look at Zambia, South Africa, Sierra Leon and Jamaica and you will notice a pattern in policy-making.

The decision to pass the referendum or not lies in the hands of Kenyans. If it pass, then the repercussions will follow later, if it fails, then Kenyans will have themselves to thank after the real intentions are made public.
