This collision cannot hold for long......while Marende is hailed for making his ruling which some consider to be wise,in my opinion,he failed to rise to the occasion(tread where other mortals fear) and thereby assign himself a place among the great. His decision was not to decide and so many only read the implied meaning rather than the actual(Indecision). His was and will continue a display of cowardise in the face of a great challenge. Inasmuch as he staved off a titanic battle albeit momentarily,he left open sore wounds which will only fester with time. That is no mark of a great leader.

Kweli wewe fundaah! At Kalonzo did what? Such big issue you trivialise and personalise- Kwani Kalonzo alijichagua kama wengine?

Seriously,Marende failed to rise to the occasion- he thought he was called upon to show wisdom when all we want is for him to follow the law.

my friend tmatekwa,come and rescue me,im being brewed by the brewer for speaking my mind. @ brewer,Kalonzo is going to court to sue Marende for his decision(to temporarily take what Kalonzo thinks is rightfully his).Njung'e has just confirmed that a parliamentarily priviledged decision cannot be contested in court.So how far will kalonzo go?

I mean fundamental analysis,you get me?

Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health,its management and competitive advantages,and its competitors

Fundah et al,

Worry not about those who criticise Marende's decission for they belong to the class which believes things should remain the way they are and MK should continue doing nothing.

Marende's decission had earlier in the day been endorsed by RAO. This is the 'wild card' Stad Newspaper predicted in the issue of jana. MK and by extension Kalooser are incapable of making any hard decissions desperately needed by the country. They have to be taken head-on now!

Look around and you will see any lawyer who loses a high profile case will always put up a brave face for the cameras 'We are going to appeal'. That's what Kalonzo was doing. His threat to go to court (though he has a right to) will just fizzle out.

Kalonzo is a very insecure man because he owes his appointment to a favour! He didn't earn it. He is a worried man lest MK decides this guy is not serving the purpose for which he was 'favoured'.

Sorry PANUA guys. This debate is not adding to the pieces of chicken on my plate.

@Sly kat
Dont allow yourself to be whiped into place. Let goatherds go find some Ungulates to herd and collect them together under tethers.
Think independently as you demonstrated in this thread. Of course you've seen for yourself that when you dare think so you are branded bla bla bla....
Dont you find it funny.
Any lessons to be learnt thereof???


Marende was too shy to decide.
Of course that helped bring down the unnecessary tensions that had built.
However in his long preamble,he suggested who ultimately Govt. is,- i.e where the buck stops. But probably in order to placate his benefactor for the post he holds,he surreptiously opted to bury his head in the sand and avoid making the lawful decision.

I am not sure face-saving for certain people is part of his brief as Speaker of National Assembly.
In essence he only deffered the matter,as opposed to dispensing with it conclusively.

Great statesmen are bold and courageous enough to make the right and longterm decision that may appear unpopular at the time but wait for time to vindicate them.

Implications?
Only relevant in the house and for the house only.
Marende postulated that the matter was only covered by the standing orders for the house,and no where else in law.
The courts only can interpret the Constitution and other laws for general consumption/use.
Raila managed to spite Kibaki this time.
Suppose Kibaki also chose to make him feel his weight too!!!!!
Kibaki can call back the out riders,
He can assign him a lower cadre Merc,e.g C200.
He can down grade his guards.
etc
Lesson,dont start a war you can never win.
Of course Railas last resort is Mass action.
The Somali Pirates also operate on loosely the same terms.

@ B Timer,

are you a leader somewhere?

translation?

The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

You will live and you will learn

The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

By not declaring Raila or Kalonzo leader and chairman of HBC,Mr. Marende has proved that he is a leader cut from the same cloth as the principals.He has also refused to rise above parochial interests and shown himself as one held captive by powers that span him to the heights from which he is about to fall with a great thud. Just a matter of time.
