www.ntv.co.ke The referendum question is yet to be posed, the attorney general is yet to publish the draft constitution; but the YES and NO campaigns have taken shape and an intense debate is already underway. Linus Kaikai hosts the man in the eye of a storm, the newly posted minister for higher education William Samoei Ruto; a politician around whom the campaign against the draft constitution revolves. This is the first part of Inside the Constitution.

This is very poorly done by NTV. You allowed Ruto to control the session, absolutely unchallenged. Linus looked meek, passive and sheepish. Ruto should have been properly grilled; why not bring in somebody else in the panel or has an alternative view or get a journalist who is conversant in matters of law. what a wasted opportunity to challenge Ruto’s views, most of which are based on his own interpretation of provisions in the draft and selective reading of the draft.

This is an intelligent guy, who urgues his positions articulately.He may have been suspected of many corrupt deals, but can somebody tell me if he has been prosecuted. I see that foreign diplomats are now the proponents of ‘yes’ , that makes me worried because the last time I checked, Kenya was an independent nation, so my opinion is “they should keep off” what do you think?

Hon Ruto, you will not dictate historians on what to write. Look at the way they are writing Moi’s history and that of Kenyatta. Historians do not rely on a single source or merely what is said by politicians and other actors they thoroughly interrogate every piece of information based on the developemnts taking place in the country. You will be surprised what historians will write about you et al. Do you now understand why Moi and Kenyatta detained some scholars?
