We will be here yapping "koti bandia" and "wakora network" simply because we failed to grasp the impact of the new katiba.
The underlying philosophy of our new constitution is to protect the citizen from the government. Matiangi and co have never understood this.
Omtata knows this very well and that is why he sues and wins every time. He doesn't even use a lawyer anymore.
The best thing to do under these circumstances is to negotiate.
Otherwise you can only register some unhelpful battle-win in court, but you can never win the war against the government as long as they have the resolve.
The Camel's back is broken via CA squeeze on paybill codes.
Courts can issue orders on the authorities,- how about the Telcos who know better than rub the Gov the wrong way!
Only once did the government win against the courts. The miguna case. As we talk, courts awarded miguna 7M. It's accruing interest everyday. The beauty of it, it is matiangi and immigration boss to pay, not the taxpayers.
Remember when president attempted to force recruitment of 10,000 police trainees after the garissa terrorist attack. Courts stopped him. The security and anti-terrorism bill ? Courts stopped them.
An ocs in ongata rongai has been ordered to pay 3.6M to 18 guys who were arrested on a weekend. From his own pocket.
