Yes camp predicts 70% landslide victory.

THE YES camp is confident of a 70% win on August 4th.The team commissioned an independent survey which puts the YES team ahead.
The team will release the results of the poll next week. YES campaign chiefs Anyang Nyongo and Kiraitu Murungi yesterday described the NO campaigners as leaders stuck h the past and that they cannot be expected to support change.

“We have traversed the country and I can assure you that we have already won the referendum.” Kiraitu said.
“Kenyans will overwhelmingly vote YES.” He added. The energy minister said the margin of victory is irrelevant. They said the law requires a simple 50 plus 1 per cent win.”The referendum law requires a simple majority win but we are confident of a 70 per cent or even higher.” He said.

Addressing a press conference at the Stanley Hotel yesterday, the two leaders took issue with retired President Moi whom they branded him an anti-reformist.
“As journalists, do you believe MoI is NO because of abortion? He has been consistently opposed to reforms since 1990.” Kirauti said.
“Moi ruled this country so ruinously that he should be the last one to advice Kenyans on the referendum. Moi’s recent outbursts on land grabbing must be the joke of the century.” Ny’ongo added. Mr Nyongo said that majority of NO team were in KANU and have long opposed change.

“From the start of this campaign, the NO leadership has relied on KNU era ticks.Moi and Ruto, during their long rule fought against a new constitution and continue to do so.”Ny’ongo said.
