The push for a referendum to do away with Tyranny of Numbers is gaining momentum. Yesterday, Raila Odinga promised to start discussions with all parties, so that a decision on how to go about it can be made. The CORD faction is angry that two communities can come together and produce a president, regardless of the voting of the other 40. Visibly angry James Orengo and Johnstone Muthama have been leading the calls. Some Kenyans however see the calls for a referendum as a move centered around Raila, with an objective of satisfying his ego. That may explain why they are now referring it as Raila’s Referendum or ‘RAOferendum’ President Uhuru attacked Raila yesterday, saying he was one of those leading the YES campaign, which eventually carried the day. He said that it is now time to implement the constitution, not to amend it. On Twitter, the man credited with the phrase Tyranny of Numbers, Mutahi Ngunyi, was giving his take. He said that the M4M movement and the constitutional amendment calls are only aimed at feeding Raila’s ego, who he believes will lead the Luo nation nowhere. - See more at: kenhuru/mutahi-ngunyi-the-referendum-is-meant-to-feed-railas-ego/#sthash.VTbYidqz.dpuf
