Progress in Kenya

Kenya constitution 'within year'

Kenya's government and opposition party have agreed to write a new constitution within a year, a government negotiator has said.

Mutula Kilonzo told Reuters news agency that the parties had "reached agreement on a wide-ranging sphere of issues"

The deal comes after talks aimed at bringing an end to the post-election violence which has left at least 1,000 people dead.



So it seems that Kenya is finally making progress in healing and repairing a damaged nation. While I'm overjoyed at this apparent progress, the sceptic in me will reserve judgement until this progress transcends the negotiating table and actually begins to affect the populace. Nevertheless, this is a step the right direction. Good Luck to Kenya and her people.
