Marende declines to make a judgment!!!!!

Hmmmm...so a local court has decided. Will this court be obeyed? It is crucial for local courts to be seen to be obeyed, right? It will be disastrous for the local court to be shoved aside, right? At least that is what the AU was told.

Marende realises MK may have been right, but since he doesnt want to disappoint RAO and his cronies, declines to make a judgement.

He basically told kibaki, listen to what the people are saying. These committees have already shown disapproval of the process, and so as much as he says he is seeking the advice of the committees, he has basically told kibaki off!

And the circus continues...

Where did MK go wrong? Is it in not consulting 'to the point of an agreement' or not involving JSC? Ama what does the constitution say, coz there's a lot of hullabaloo but facts are that procedure was followed. Emotions can sway a million people to make a wrong choice. We've seen instances where majority have been wrong.

Let's get it right people.
1.Kibaki MUST consult RAO on appointments.
2.Kibaki does NOT need any input from JSC on appointment of the CJ.

a ruling of the court is useless in this matter as parliament is independent. there are 3 arms of government
1. Executive - to execute laws
2. Parliament - to make laws
3. Judiciary - to determine whether a matter is according to the law.

the Judiciary can only bark - and the Executive follows. but there is nothing that can be done to a rogue parliament.

Credible experts from credible institutions gave us an ambiguous consultative constitution and yet we say we are following these same credible institutions.

Tumeongea mara mingi but yet you dont understand. Consultation does not mean consensus. I repeat for your understanding. It does not mean agreement. It means your input has been taken in and the nominating authority (MK) will choose to use it or not. And RAO did not have an issue with the other 3; DPP, AG or CoB, who were approved by his technical committee on the nominations. His issue was a foreign CJ or Justice Omollo/Amollo. He hit the roof when MK went for a neutral, and everyone started scratching their heads bald claiming the process was unconstitutional.

How many times have you sought advise, i.e. consulted someone without agreeing to what they advise you? Read your constitution again. Download a copy. Do something. Dont rely on the noisemakers who may not have been present during the meetings. Soma Katiba.
