“We Need To Get People Who Are Not This Greedy”
18th February 2010, in Interviews (2 Comments)
Michael Soi is a visual artist based in Kenya. He graduated from art school in 1996, and has been making visual commentary on Kenyan social and political trends. We sat down with him one rainy afternoon and discussed what he thinks Kenyans need to do in 2012.

The Revised Harmonized Draft (presented to the Committee of Experts on 29th January, 2010) DID retain the ‘right of recall’ clause that Soi refers to. However, the clause was rewritten to allow Parliament itself to legislate the rules of the recall.
Download the Revised Harmonized Draft here, and read the report detailing all the changes made to the Committee of Experts Draft. Also, keep up with what the Committee of Experts are up to on their website and on (shock!) their Facebook group!
UPDATE [FEBRUARY 25, 2010]: The Committee of Experts re-inserted the ‘recall clause’, ignoring recommendations from the PSC noted above.

Art as a form of expression, can be a useful tool in the sensitization and war against the terror of graft. i believe that the war on graft should be fought from left right and center because graft basically hinders economic, political and social development in any country. mine i believe, is me trying to play a small role in dealing with this retrogressive practice through my work.
