Dodoma. Former Kenyan Attorney General Amos Wako yesterday warned Constituent Assembly (CA) members against meddling in peoples views when debating the second Draft Constitution. Mr Wako who was sharing his countrys experience in the assembly yesterday said it was high time Tanzania got a people-driven and people-centred constitution and urged CA members to ensure that peoples views as collected and compiled by the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) were treated with due respect. You need to do a good job just as it was done by the Constitutional Review Commission and do not copy the constitutions of other countries, he told a fully-packed assembly. Mr Wako who is also a Senator for Busia County in Kenya on the ticket of the ODM, however, hinted that it was difficult to have a good Supreme Law when politicians were involved in the process. In my country, the process passed through hard times because after the National Constitutional Conference, the draft was to be endorsed by the national assembly before a referendum, he said, adding: I commend you here because immediately after debating and adopting the Draft in the constituent assembly, it will go directly to people in a referendum.
