NUMBERS THAT SHOCKS!! The earliest we can have a referendum is 2019... look at this maths 3 months from now for signature collection 6 months for IEBC to verify authenticity of the 5M signatures 3 months for counties to debate the refurendum Q 3 months for the Mps to debate the referendum Q 3 months for the senate to debate the same 6 months for IEBC to start referendum logistics n tendering We need 24 months before we vote only if nobody goes to court to stop or challenge the process. The constitution does not allow a referendum 1 yr to or after national elections! Considering these hurdle,we rule out 2018 coz we shall be fresh from 2017 elections. Normally IEBC cleans up voter registers after 5 yrs again this may render the collected signatures null n void coz the possibilty of someone challenging it in court is high thereby calling for a fresh round of signature collection or new IEBC verification. Referendum 2019 or never!

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
