great job newfarer.

consulting means exactly that. Consulting. The problem is that one guy can say they were not consulted if no agreement is made. So yes they have to agree. Kibaki apende asipende.

I am a constitutional buff and don't take kindly to those who think laws are there to be read only.

If Raila swears an affidavit that he was not consulted, then you and any other kenyan can take up the case in court and that will be the end of that. In fact, the parliamentary committee can refuse to work with the names based on that and so can Marende.

I now believe these PNU guys are hell bent on subverting the law. Of course closely followed by these ODM guys.

What interests me the most is the reaction of those appointed as CJ, AG and DPP. They will be expected to uphold the law. If their first act in office is to subvert the constitution by accepting this flawed nominations exactly where will Kenya be heading?

I support TAZ. No need to Blame BAKS, His is just a political game with nothing to lose. We should blame the MPIGS should they decide to pass the names in Parliament. This is the time for them to rise up and show us that the Constitution is above EVERYBODY.

By the way do you think this is a pointer to early elections... First they raise Funds through 6969 and then try and appoint a 'friendly' CJ and AG?

Interesting developments.One thing is clear: Kibaki should consult Amolo.I am convinced that is where clarity ends.What is consultation?How should it be done?Do they need to sign somewhere everything they agree on?Two possibilities: Kibaki has consulted Odinga and either they did not come to a proper conclusion or Raila is just playing politics with us by backtracking on his decision.(he knows how to play victim politics well).Possibility 2:Kibaki decided to be jeuri by ignoring the national accord!BOTH ARE POSSIBLE!

(2) A new Chief Justice shall be appointed by the President, subject to the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, and after consultation with the Prime Minister and with the approval of the National Assembly.

Every time these pnu guys play tricks with legal matters, IDP's are created.

Do we really expect MPs to vote with their heads????. I smelled something fishy when the Eldoret meeting was held. With all this fighting of the TWO principals, when will ever think of development issues, when will they think of IDPs. Coalition government was a bad option
