Uhuru Kenyatta, then the leader of opposition, speaks during a rally called to reject the 2005 referendum. [File]In the run up to the 2005 referendum, signs that Kenya was hurtling down a dangerous path of ethnic divisions were clear. Prof Gitile Naituli, a political analyst, opines that the 2005 referendum set the country on a very dangerous path. This marked the major division among key political players, a division that continued to the 2005 referendum. “This process will forever be a blot in our history since it was something that would have been avoided,” said Naituli of the 2005 referendum.
