Church blamed for chaos
By NATION Correspondent
The church and other religious organisations are to blame for
the chaos on Budget day, political leaders in Nakuru said yesterday.
They said the church was partisan instead of advocating reconciliation.
The leaders who included civic leaders Kipsomaniant Ngetich, Samuel
Toweet activists Joshua Tototich and Shadrack Kiptugen said Parliament
was the supreme organ and should be given the responsibility of reviewing
the constitution.
They said civic disobedience would not be a solution to the impasse
and urged stake holders to support President Moi on the stand on the review.
"What we need done about the constitution is amendment and not
total overhaul of the document", they said.
Meanwhile, a DP activist Mr John Kamama criticised the police
for their action and cautioned Kenyans to guard against President Moi tactics
of reviving the one party rule.
