@ ecstacy,B. Timer,Mr Tea,Brewer

I insist. What brings yal to the same opinion so strongly.




The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

When we let loose our emotional selves and fail to let reason prevail,I guess we will keep arriving at incongruent conclusions. That the constitution is supreme and all other laws are inferior to it (including the Accord,that is why it had to be anchored in the Constitution) is a matter of common knowledge to most. Advancing an argument to the contrary can only be interpreted as the height intellectual hypocrisy. Lets also agree here and now that Marende's decision is a transient measure seeking to prevent despondence,fear and acrimony in society which may end up occuring anyway if the big boys sit and do nothing in the meantime. If I am wrong on thisone then surrender is a wise option at this point.

Patience Pays in Guaranteed Checks

The rule of law,period.

There is no alternative to the rule of law in civilsed society.
Arguing that decisions are made to placate certain sections of society is defeatist.
Taking that option where do you stop. So from now,ad infinitum rulings should be made after running a barometer around the streets to see what the ignorant layabouts want.

Since thinking is free I try to think which informs the basis upon which I disagree with Marende's position on this matter.
If everybody else took free thinking as an option and took time off to look at the relevant laws they would draw their own informed conclusions as I do.
Those who are happy to sit and wait to be chaperoned around,well it is their choice.
I guess their greatest motivation for slowing their thinking brain cells is that - since the enigma has decided/accepted,you cant dare see it any other way.
For me it doesnt matter what Kibaki,Kalonzo,or any body else thinks.
My brain is not appendaged to theirs.
That is the beauty of mental liberty,something that our brothers and sisters dont enjoy.
One day they shall overcome,or so we hope.

Give me those details.
If they are sensible I will change my position here and now.

B.timer

Were there other perspectives other than what he read out for about an hour,which pointed to the right position anyway.
You see when you deliver a ruling you give out all the background details from which you drew your conclusion.

@ Obi,mimi nime enda ku ota jua,don't give up on him/her

The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

Probably so.
However I still hold to my position.

I am not sure though,that all those people agree that Marende interpreted the law correctly.
Most seem to applaud him on account of having managed to deflate the balloon of tension that had grown.

He even alluded to it himself,- that it would be unwise to take the route the law leans on!!. Rather he chose to go by what he called the reality of the time.

I dont know if in UK or USA for that matter,they side step the law to feed the prevailng public mood.

the way you are being washwad is the same way others were washwad in 08....

hata kama kuwashwa ni muhimu :) now,it cant get clearer that we need reforms..


The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

I strongly support the ruling though it was a temporary reprieve but for different reasons ! Why do you think ODM wanted to chair the HBC ? I would rather dwell on the future than on the past ! My take is that MK has been using Kalonzo and Kilonzo to suppress reforms in parliament by sweeping under the carpet popular motions which are geared towards changes yet the PNU fraternity wants the status quo rightly or wrongly thinking that things will favour them if they remain the way they are ! My take is that they are repugnant to reforms. But deep inside i seriously think that PNU would have been pushing for reforms like yesterday because i would hate to have RAO,Ruto,Kalonzo,Karua,as a President with the current powers and privileges ! I think we have all seen some flashes of the worst sides of all these guys ! It would be suicidal for some people,if they have been deemed to have had their unfair share of the national cake since independence and under the new dispensation,the winner eats all constitution is still in place ! Guys lets be honest and open with ourselves because if we are not,we shall be forced by circumstances to be,sooner or not so later ! We need reforms and constant changes in our government,period !

@ Kenn,

You are worried that the powers could land in the hands of the following.

Rao,Ruto,Kalonzo,Karua

Is the above order worst to worse?

Are you currently worried,with the powers in the hands of President Kibaki?
