You will recall the spat sometime back between the Public Works PS and CJ, over some ''shoddy'' work done at Milimani court building. Though I believe the CJ approached the issue in a pedestrian way, I have always thought that this is where the CJ parted ways with Public Works.
That said, I cannot trust any word coming out of either JSC or CRJ so much to the point of basing my arguments on what either has said. There is possibility CRJ engaged a mere lecturer at JKUAT and now trying to cover up in public. On what basis do you engage a private arm of a public institution and claim there was therefore no need for competitive bidding? Why did she not engage UNES? Who has discretion on these matters? We must demand a higher degree of accountability from our public servants.

@tassia.true. Either shollei is grossly incompetent as to not read kenyan laws or she was breaking these laws knowingly with evil intentions.

@limanika, very well put. By Judiciary avoiding Public works which is free then hiring JKUCAT at kes 82m, this shows lack of respect for kenyan laws and tax payer money.

We can look at it this way..if public works thinks Judiciary is incompetent, can they also seek alternative judicial remedy from mungiki or other quasi judicial mechanisms? Judiciary should either lobby for laws that enable public works to work effectively or just hire consultants licenced by law to offer these services.

I fault shollei for not leading other kenyans into how to follow laws. If all kenyans decided to do as they please,we will slide to anarchy.

Kenya is a capitalist nation. Govt should provide enabling environments to the private sector so as to create jobs but not compete with private sector .
Its either judiciary seeks free services from public works or hires consultants from the private sector, thus enabling govt to relate with its tax payer citizens.
Judiciary paying 82m to another govt body, denying citizens to make an honest livelihood, doesnt make economic sense.

@tassia @mr Sulu and @4arch.
For the umpteenth time Let me declare that am all for transparency and accountability. Am not defending GBS as a person but the office of CRJ. We need to defend institutions and kemea mob justice

If indeed GBS has broken any laws let he be tried fairly and if found guilty enjoy the services of Nairobi West Women's prison just like Nabutola and Ong'ong'a

I pause and ask Did people read the 87 +- charges that GBS was accused of and her reponse before rushing to the JSC findings.? Can JSC post the charges also on the same we chambua them one by one and see what we are dealing with here.?

If and when you read the charges talk to any GoK CEO you know and report on what they think of the charges

someone said here GBS is being framed, I am inclined to share the same sentiments given my knowledge of how GoK works.

This @Siringi guy,what you are doing is tantamount to what stray dogs do.
A stray dog hides its eyes behind grass and so long as it can't see you,it assumes you can't see it.

My question to @A4archect

supposing the contract was awarded to National Youth Service , or the Army, what beef could we be discussing. because in my opinion constructing prefabs can be done by even village polytechnics at the county level - no rocket science here ama

NYS and army have done jobs which private sector people could have done why dint you guys complain?
tuendeleze mjadala ...

we have experts in these instutitions (NYS Army) spending our taxes...
