Nation poll last night on the Kadhi's courts. 70% don't want it 30% want it.

During the debate the deputy speaker was unruly and not in order.He told Joe Ageyo that he brought his christian friends as the audience. That was derogatory.

TV programme was interesting - can't argue with that.

I was disappointed by behaviour of audience which reflected choice of venue - Strathmore is a Catholic institution and I'd warrant over 75% of institution doesn't support Kadhi's courts. The audience was hostile to Mr.Faram and Ms.Wambui.


Best comeback of the evening was when Mr.Kanjama prove beyond doubt that constitutions can be inconsistent requiring some hierachical interpretation of the document.

"Is Kenya a secular state?" - this question caused a conondrum. At first panelists were arguing our constitution does not primarily lean towards Christianity. Then when this question was asked, they felt Kenya should not wholly ascribe to secularism.


"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." These powerful words written by Martin Luther King in 1963 from a Birmingham Jail; and quoted by Mr.Ongote surmised my opinion of the matter.

@sky5, majority of Kenyans lean towards Christianity. It affects our thinking, beliefs, our being... And so it finds itself into the constitution.

So it was slightly amusing to see the panel yesterday argue they don't want Islam because we are secular; and on the other hand argue 'life begins at conception' clause is not a inherently Christian demand.

Also debators could not agree if Muslims are a 'minority'...
Kenya: 88%Christian 10%Islam 2%Other

Now be honest to yourself and wazuans and tell us what are the main POSITIVE things about the draft.
