@mkenya...please slow down and read the rulling.
Quote:

A three-judge bench on Monday declared the inclusion of Kadhi courts in current Constitution illegal and discriminatory.
The judges, sitting as a constitutional court, said the decision to include the kadhi courts in the country's ultimate law favoured one religion over others.

They also declared that public funds should not be used to run the courts beyond a 10-mile coastal strip specified during their establishment in the colonial times.

However, the judges reserved their decision on whether the provision should be included in the Proposed Constitution, which will be subjected to a referendum on August 4.

The bench included Justice Joseph Nyamu, Justice Mathew Anyara Emukule and Justice Roseline Wendo.

We live in a world of plurality and for there to be tolerance, something which relates to religion should not be enshrined in a document which should be used by all people in the country. Our muslim brothers and sisters should also know that the circumstances which made the kadhi courts to be put in the constitution were different. By the way, the costal strip never belonged to Sultans. It belongs to indigenous black africans. These indigenous africans are now the poor at the cost and the colonial arabs are now pretending to be the indigenous.

This is counter-productive,all the muslims will shift to vote no while the majority of xtians will jump over and say yes.
I decided to vote no early this year and confirmed my status when Raira mentioned that a foetus is kakitu hata hakana mkono; now with this newest twist, mimi ni NO damu,and u can check my blood,its red.

Wa wa wa, those in No will be poping up the champagne.

Some clergy might even start claiming credit - ati waliomba milango ya ngereza ikafunguka.

We have not seen or heard the last of this.

i said i would have to read it first sure. but it would be interesting to see how the good judges justified finding a provision in the constitution as illegal. to me it is about the same as saying that the constitution itself is illegal.

and the timing of this ruling is rather irresponsible to say the least.

just out of curiosity, were all the judges christians?
