I am a diasporan who anxiously awaits dual citizenship but I have not shied from talking to all who would listen, into shooting this damn law so Kadhi courts can be taken out. CoE and PSC took people for a ride, and they (and their think-alikes) are dying to convince us that shooting down the new law on basis of Kadhis' clauses is futile because the default law has the same ... no, it is not futile. If we shoot this down, we still can drop the Kadhi courts and come back into another referendum. And even if we don't, why should we reward those taking us for a ride? Why did Kadhi courts get more entrenched in the draft constitution instead of being taken out or at least being left as they were, yet they had been raised as contentious issues? What is is we cannot live with so we must accept a radical law not to lose them? BS ... Red card! Kibaki and Raila can share their bed, but that is them. Kenya does not sleep and wake up with them.
And then these idiotic civic bodies in Kenya ... and lawyers like Karua, all who do not seem to comprehend what separation of state and religion mean. Go back to school ... or at least open your eyes to what goes on in the world at large.
Much Know wrote:What makes a majority in your view? Is it the people near you? Your family? The citizen poll showed 67% of callers supported the judges. Look at the nation online poll on the ruling, read the over 100 comments in it. In wazua the diasporans may warp the picture due to their obsession with dual citizenship. As much as am not a Christian, guess who is best reaching the grassroots in Kenya? Certainly not the online forums. The kadhi courts will shoot down the draft and not Christians as some want to make it. Repeat, I am not a christian. This courts were excluded in the wako draft which was ati 85% good and are now back in the coe draft (thanks to the populist politics)which is ati 90% good. For me its the opposite. 90-80=5, 5/85*100=5.8% by the same logic.
