Kenyan citizens will soon get to vote on the new constitution. Yes, the one which in December 2002 was said to be coming within 100 days. The referendum will be held on 21 November 2005. Well, I guess it's a case of "better late than never"...
The ballots will ask: ""Are you for or against the ratification of the proposed new constitution?" The symbol for a "yes" will be a banana, for a "no" it will be an orange.
How did they come up with these symbols?
The banana could have gone something like this:
yes - ndio* - ndizi*
The orange doesn't seem that easy. Maybe whoever was coming up with these symbols was thinking of the president when he came up with orange. Considering that the new constitution gives him more power, a "no" vote would hurt.
no - pain - uchungu* - machungwa*
*Swahili words: ndio = yes; ndizi = banana; uchungu = pain; machungwa = orange.

Very creative!!
as if their verbal exchanges were not bad enough now we have to suffer thru agonising images of them(mps) eating bananas and oranges all day on tv , good news for farmers in kisii and voi though seems demand will be rising till nov 21st .
LOL - I am with Mental and Milo - very funny and creative...
@Maitha - hmm..
Adrian nice thought but lets agree with Blue Kao's can be soo creative so the ECK boss Sam Kivuitu sat and decided farmers in Kisii and Taita to make money as the campaign starts. Politicians are carrying respective fruits as they campaign..
Those for yes bananas and No Oranges....
great post. Just passing through, I'm liking the blog by the way.
I'm looking for partners to pool together we buy oranges and bananas wholesale! There's a killing to be made as we go bananas in our own juice!
Great post! and awww those fruits look good and yummy literally!
