Former President Daniel arap Moi has criticized the American stance on the proposed constitution ahead of next month’s referendum.

Moi said it was irresponsible for the Americans to guide the country on the law, yet Kenyans could make their own decisions at the referendum. He said if Americans know Kenyans can do their best and think they are educated, then they should be left to decide on their own.

Meanwhile Lands minister James Orengo has accused the retired president of being an impediment in the process of obtaining a new constitution. He challenged him to account for his role in the quest for the document during his 24 years reign in power. He added, his regime is on record for having frustrated the agitators of the second liberation.

On the other hand, the minister defended US ambassador to Kenya Michael Reanneberger and asked him to continue to agitate for the rights of Kenyans. He said the ambassador was concerned about the leadership of the country, adding that there was nothing wrong with the envoy educating Kenyans on the content of the proposed constitution.
