Matemu's appointment nullified by the high court, his conduct raises serious integrity issues thus can't assumme office!!!!

Fantastic. I am loving it.

This ruling should make our politicians very worried. most will not make it to the ballot come next March. Uhuru and Ruto's geese are as good as cooked.

RAO, Mudavadi, Steve are on the cliff edge.

I guess those who have ill-gotten wealth/positions have reasons to worry.Sad think they are all over calling CJ an activist,to discredit him and the judiciary.
Sadder thing, even some wazuans see mutunga as an activist for his stand on some presidential candidates.

@obi kanobi thats not true ua stretching the constitution big time,chapter 6 iz not explicit in its wording,but the presuposition created under chapter 6 iz that once you are convicted in a competent court of law you CANNOT run for public office,NABUTOLA cannot run that would be a mockery of the intent and spirit of the constitution,on the other hand WSR and UK might run because they have only been put on their defence and not convicted...

In passing the new Constitution and in including in it the provisions of Articles 27, 38 and 43 among others, the presupposition that was created was that all would have an equal opportunity and an equal voice, regardless of status. However this provison cannot be read in isolation. Save for the right to life, all rights have limitations. The Elections Act, Act No 24 of 2011, enacted pursuant to the requirements of Article 99 of the Constitution of Kenya provides:
(1) Unless disqualified under clause (2), a person is eligible for election as a member of Parliament if the person:
(a) is registered as a voter;
(b) satisfies any educational, moral and ethical requirements prescribed by this Constitution or by an Act of Parliament. Nabutola by virtue of her conviction falls short of the integrity benchmark set in Chapter 6 and she thus fails to meet the requisite threshold necessary to enable her run.
