Wrangling

Former President Daniel Arap Moi is warning of hard times for Kenya should the constitution review process fail.

Moi said tribalism is emerging a barrier and is threatening to scuttle the review process aimed at unity the country.


He says the new constitution should address the current political realignment to cushion the country from a recurrence of the 2007 post election violence.

However, Rongai Member of Parliament Luka Kigen downplayed the harsh Moi's verdict expressing optimism that the contentious issues will be ironed out.

The leaders called on the committee of experts on constitution review to fulfill the Kenyan dream and end the constitution debate by giving the citizenry a new constitution.

And in Mombasa, Central Organization of Trade Unions secretary general, Francis Atwoli threatened to mobilize all trade unions in the country to call for strike among its members if the new constitution will not have been realized by January 10, 2010.
