...wacha tusikie wadadisi na wachanganuzi wa mambo ya kisiasa watasema nini njioni ya leo... LAKINI VILE CAPTAIN ATASEMA NITAFANYA HIVYO TU...

Just the other day most of us were celebrating our judiciary for sending some MPs home. Today the tune has changed.

If i recall no one had an issue with Wako draft in regards to Kadhis court.

@Masukuma
...It is too early to celebrate...

Now I support surealligator in this one.

I just recieved a rough copy of the ruling and i have to say, these guys are nuts.

They have stated that the Kadhis court is illegal. There are two ways to look at this.

if the court is illegal as they claim, then why even have it only working in the 10 mile strip? second, you cannot have the constitution as being illegal. It is the supreme law, so what is the precedent.

the worst is what guys are celebrating. By saying that "it favours one religion over another", it is opening up a whole can of worms.

Soon men will say the bill of rights favours women over men, and the youth over men or the healthy over the diabled. that is the precedent that these dunder heads have opened up.

I am still waiting on the case law they used as precedent. but if they are basing these on their own views, we may as well forget about a new constitution since everyone will use this ruling as precedent for everything.

by the way, now that they have ruled that the 10 mile strip issue is illegal, doesn't this now allow the hardliners in the coast who want their own region to actually leave?

this is more dangerous for the No campaigners because it is a ruling full of holes. if we revert to the present constitution, this ruling will not last 10 minutes under Gicheru and you will have that Kadhis court you so fear deeper in legal precedent because of the foolish ruling these fellows just made.

Legalities aside, the ruling does not change the course that the constitutiton making process has taken. The status quo remains, the Kadhis Court will be part of our new constitution.

What is the benefit of shifting the complaints to the other side? Now do we feel good when "our Muslim brothers" start complaining?

@Masukuma

kudos for choosing to remain sober. The opposition is not to the whole draft but to specific provisions. I hope Yessayers can Pause for a moment and agree we shelve the contentious issues. Halafu ii kitu si tapigia YES

at this rate, we beter forget the constition, abolish the one we have and live without one.UK operates without a written constitution

I have decided that there is no constitution coming any time soon. I don't live in lala land and it is obvious to see what is happening here.

Some 3 judges make a terrible ruling on the old constitution. People talk about renegotiating. The muslims will this time insist on the Kadhis court and we are back to square one. This time no one willing to give an inch.

I am so sorry for my country. it was a good fight but sometimes, people just never learn.

@nanfor1, i am sure that everyone will be happy if the kadhi's courts are limited to where they were intended to be.
all things are possible - we can have this draft before the end of the year.

someone should rush to the court of appeal before the whole process is scuttled......One of the side shows....Lets see how the politics sensitive NSE will behave tommorow
