Coronavirus cases have spiked recently in Kenya

If the referendum does go ahead and is approved by the people, it will allow a major change to the constitution, that will restructure 

power and create more political offices, including a huge increase in the number of elected parliamentarians - all at the expense of the taxpayer.

Politicians in the governing party as well as the opposition, which also backs the referendum, refused to listen, with massive rallies in recent weeks attracting huge crowds, including many people who had abandoned their face masks.

This has been blamed for the worrying Covid-19 situation in Kenya where coronavirus infections have shot up with many more people dying now than in previous months.

So, it came as a big shock to Kenyans when one tree spoke and the government listened.
