Intrigues and schemes.

Not good for Kenya.

The hawkish Jennifer Shamalla is a member of that tribunal! Shows how low we have sunk!


Might there be a larger game plan underway!

The integrity and impartiality of
the members of the tribunal has
also come under sharp focus.
Justice (rtd) Ringera, for instance,
had applied to be a judge of the
Supreme Court in 2011. However,
he was not shortlisted and publicly
attacked the JSC for snubbing him.
He even threatened to sue the
commission, whose members he is
now supposed to investigate. Mr
Abdullahi then responded to his
attacks on the JSC, saying Mr
Ringera had no entitlement to the
the position.
“Having had this kind of
confrontation between one of the
JSC commissioners and now the
appointed chair, we don’t expect
justice from that tribunal.
Secondly, another member, Jeniffer
Shamalla, has come on national
television to say that the JSC does
not know what it does. She has
come out even to attack the
honourable CJ,” said Mr Mutua.
Mr Ringera had also served in the
appeals chamber of TNA that was
handling the disputes from the
party nominations while Ms
Shamalla has been on the offensive
against the ICC, even
unsuccessfully filing a case in court
to stop President Kenyatta and his
deputy William Ruto from going to
The Hague...

Mr Weda, a city lawyer, had
contested the last elections on a
TNA ticket in Seme Constituency
without success while Mr Kilaka
was the Financial Secretary in the
Treasury when President Kenyatta
was the Finance minister.

You are right maka this is not about impartiality and justice it's about winning. The tribunal was not set up to be impartial it was set up to settle old scores and ensure parliament and executive is respected and had its way. It's not about law, justice, independence or the constitution, it's about who is king.

Now let's see how the decks are stacked;
Who is behind the tribunal
parliament who hold appointing and dismissing powers and the purse strings.
it's voters majority who are gullible and believe their member of parliament is right.
The executive who owe their power to the support of parliament.
I don't believe our greatest rebel raila. i know deep down he wants the j.s.c members out especially justice mutunga, his betrayal was too deep to forgive, but its an opportunity he cannot ignore and he will run with it. To raila it's a win win situation and he cannot believe his luck.

Now the judiciary
It is supported by the legal fraternity who i know are divided by this issue but because this is where they earn their bread are going to try and 'save the situation'.
The civil society who are on a back track.
The media who are fighting for their independence.
The last two need an independent judiciary to fight their forthcoming battles and judiciary needs them to amplify their case in the public arena.

Now let the games begin!

Why is it this hard for most people to understand the political class rules any country.

I dont think so, CJ is getting into bed with these people. He should not be surprised if he gets shafted soon.
