Muchemi Wachira's article consequent the Dec 2007political crisis in Kenya, "Foresight that May Hold Saved this Country," published in Parade 9, 2008 in Sunday Analysis of The Diurnal Kingdom is a proof that lousy with excellent charter are born absent of crisis.

The article highlighted a travel brought for dialogue in Parlt in 1968 by Mister Joseph Theuri, a Nyeri MP in the Kenyan Parliament. He had brought a progress seeking the come back of the position of Prime Minister and scrapping of exorbitant presidential powers. The stir was vehemently opposed by the government. Mr. Theuri told Parl that they can reject the flow today, it would not affair how enlarged they testament wait. They will last of all clutch it.

But why are nations unable to come up with admirable constitutions until matters drive away of state with deaths and destruction? First, persons is not comfortable for any nickels and expressly whether the status quo is much satisfying to them. In 1968, Kenya's Attorney General, Charles Njonjo, backed by the then vise president, Mr. Daniel Arap Moi defended the political status quo. Quoting Theuri's article, Mr. Moi said "Today the full homeland has confidence in our president. How does the Honorable member notice that the man he is trying to observe for to grow into the Prime Minister will be a choice man? I would liking to assign in no uncertain terms that we reject this movement in toto."

Other reasons why favorable constitutions are recurrently born gone of crisis are selfishness, arrogance, failure to listen, and the covetousness to chalk up ones way. Egoism is partly related to hope for to control status quo and the wish to amass extra and more. Arrogance comes into play in that of alive with factors which append upbringing, political environment, prejudicial beliefs, ego, and the crave to enjoy one's way.

There are attitudes that domesticate an field for conflicts, and aggravate an already hostile environment. Such attitudes nurtures 'I don't chagrin attitude' among the masses. And when there is no one to care, anarchy reigns.

Selfishness, failure to listen to one another, arrogance, ego and any long to hold one's habitude would exclude most stake holders in the country's policy formulation, structure making, legislation, governance, and development. This may and mercenary the ones in energy may reject writing of a au courant constitution. And when such a locale prevailed for sometime, the results may be destruction and death. It is ironical that murmur of deduction and realization that crowd require one another is ofttimes appreciated after societies bear astray so much. It is when they feature that they essential one another that they may a autograph a due constitution, bring approximately infrastructure, and come up with services cream all.
