Took Negotiations? I Have The Perfect Job For You!
by Wangari Kebuchi on February 27, 2008 in Blog
As constitution review is on the mind of Kenyans and Cameroonians alike, and South Africa reels from yet another shocking racist event, Kofi Annan and President Kikwete (TZ) are pulling out their hair at the frustrations of negotiations (woe is me for not having taken Professor Mandell’s class…..).
Apparently things disintegrated when one minister on the PNU side got all hot and bothered by the process - and didn’t appreciate Annan’s interjection while he was trying to explain just why Kibaki should retain all his constitutional powers. But Kikwete was as swift as a swara (antelope) and got the process back on track. I’m feeling a BATNA coming on (like I really know what that means)!
So polish those resumes negotiators! Annan is looking like he wants to leave (my friend Philip told me that we are hogging him anyway).
Bright side to events this week? No more planned ODM riots in Kenya on Thursday!!!! YEAH! (though for those who had cleared their schedule for some good ol’ rioting, never fear, South Africa has scheduled theirs for the same day)
