I second the House!

Becoming number one is easier than remaining number one

Am so excited to see the rule of law prevail in an emphatic fashion for the first time in a long time. Its high time the executive started to read the mood of its citizen. A president exists to serve his people and not just a small clique.

During the swearing-in ceremony for his first term in office,MK assured us that it will never be 'business as usual'. Sadly,a cursory look at the goings-on show that 'moism' will take time to end. Those of us from the old school still remember the days when Moi would spring some illogical surprises and we would all hail him as a political genius.

Those aspiring to be future presidents should know that the culture of 'mta-do?' will surely have to come to an end. At least we now know that the presidents word or action will not be final if not executed within the law.

Cant help to sympathize with 'kalooser' for thinking that anything that the executive does goes. If he continues with that dangerous mind-set,he should forget 2012. Kiunjuri could even be said to be wiser than him.

To all the Mpigs who voted against the bill......SHAME ON YOU!.

Am also offended to note that the sports minister voted against the bill......No wonder she cant challenge RAO on Hey as the national soccer team rapidly goes to the dogs.



WOULD RATHER DIE FIGHTING 4 MY RIGHTS THAN LIVE FOREVER WITHOUT ANY RIGHTS

i presume the era of the 'big fish' is come to an end....

sorry,the big fish will now face the law just like the small ones....

you've heard me..

@Mpenzi

Whats the legal position and what happens after this. I listened to the lawyers arguments on the floor of the house and got more confused. Either the lawyers dont know the law or our laws are not clear. Every lawyer seemed correct to me.


Accountants are not boring people. They just get excited about boring things

@mtaalam

It is true the MPs or say parliament does not have powers to get Ringera out of the office even with their vote,Kibaki can not ignore their move. Even with all the powers,he can force Ringera down their throats but they can refuse to pass the KACC budget until the President does something. Now,how would KACC operate without a budget an the money can not be released from the Treasury unless they want to plunge us into deeper mess than 2007 if they force the budget down the MPs throats too. And that story by Beth Mugo that they have to support the president so they do not humiliate him? The only reason being - other countries think we are having elections next month or the other month bla bla..... it was so unconvincing...

My thinking is,Parliament can hold the budget as the bait to have what they want done. No wonder the motion to have the budget passed was postponed coz it was not going to go through for sure. Kibaki needs the parliament more than the parliament needs him. Remember,his own Ministers were also against his act. This is not the only issue he will need support from parliament.. he wont afford to burn bridges to have this go through. For once,the MPigs were HONORABLES yesterday!

But i could be wrong/misinformed and stand to be collected..

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

1stly,after Tuesday's Mau dung,it was good to see wabunge try to balance the accounts by voting against 'anvil'. But,I think the High Court decision is key.

I on't think General Kig. will respond straightaway however. The dude I'd like to see less off (i.e. fired),is Wako,which would then give the opportunity for an overhaul of the AG/KACC relationship.

@Wendz,
It was our Mpig who stood to make an amendment on the motion.......I thought this one would be different from Thirikwa and Kimondo.......Jinga kabisa.Come 2012 and i will campaign vigorously against the damn pig.....!!

Old man about town....

@mwenza
what face does Kibaki have to lose? that man doesnt care a hoot and i doubt there is much anyone can do to humiliate him - maybe Lucy. the only thing that could make Kibaki move is for Parliament to move a motion of no-confidence in him - but they lose their fat salaries in the process.

humiliated? you're kidding me! kenya is just a banana republic where leaders have no sense of shame or manners to say even a simple sorry when they err. the mt kenya mafia should have read the mood on the ground instead of digging in for a fight but too bad they were blinded by arrogance and greed because they wanted one of their own to have that office despite his poor track record. as a matter of fact,this was never about ringera as such but mostly the manner of his appointment by the all powerful imperial executive. the parliament has done kenyans proud- for once. the office of KACC should be above suspicion and it's head should have the confidence of the nation,that's the only way to bust graft. it's pathetic that ringera has to be dragged out of office,kicking yelling and screaming instead of doing the honourable thing of bowing out. so far,his fate is sealed,he cant manouvre which ever way he tries to wiggle out. the parliament has held with a firm grip by the balls. it's good bye and good riddance to bad rubbish!

bY aNy MeAns NecEsSaRy.....

Its unfortunate that we view everything in terms of winning and losing......Never looking at the bigger picture which is the welfare of all Kenyans. Such attitudes at best create tension,and at worst strife. A closer examination will actually reveal a very asinine outcome. So Ringera is bumped off and we have another from a different race,community or even nationality.The institution fails again.A chorus emerges that so and so must go...and out they go.....Now you tell me who won?
What happened in parliament yesterday was nothing more than just another power game which keeps us riveted,hungry for more.And they know it.They will surely never fail us in that regard. Keep tuned for more,for there is definitely more stuff from where that came.....
