I simply dont understand why these two fellows cannot agree on such heighty matter.my nine year old daughter asks me that question all the time.In the meantime their cronies are making foolish comments left,right and centre.This is not good for our country.As marende noted,we are very luck as a country.let those two geezers learn from history.we love our country .At least with the high courts ruling,there is some light at the end of the tunnel.lets hope they are not lights of an oncoming train.

@petro, I concur with you.

Article 166 (1) actually mentions the JSC and its role in the appointment of the CJ. However, this issue is set on miry clay because of the Sixth Schedule on Transitional and Consequential Provisions. And that is where people need to look at critically. We’ve been told in other threads about Article 24 (2) concerning appointment of the CJ after consultation with the PM. I will not dwell on that.

Let’s go a step further. Article 29 (2) of the Sixth Schedule states “Unless this Schedule prescribes otherwise, when this Constitution requires an appointment to be made by the President with the approval of the National Assembly, until after the first elections under this Constitution, the President shall, subject to the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, appoint a person after consultation with the Prime Minister and with the approval of the National Assembly.”

In the case of the CJ, as per the Sixth Schedule, the JSC is not involved at all in the nomination and subsequent appointment at the transitional stage. We may argue, but this Schedule does not prescribe otherwise.

It could be what MK used and it could have been the reason that the Speaker forwarded the matter to the departmental committees for clarification. That could make the nominations constitutional. Forget about consultations, that is just a theatre of the absurd.

What I’m saying is we are quick to bash MK without understanding where he got his decisions from. We need to appreciate that this matter has come into the limelight to help us understand just how the transitional clauses work and where the CoE went wrong.

@petro, question is, does article 166 (1) go hand in hand with Articles 24 (2) and 29 (2) of the Sixth Schedule? Or does Article 166 (1) come into force after the first election? In terms of gender, the High Court is right. We need women nominated too.

@ Jus blazin, uko on point bro. Before giving Kibaki a hearing, he always appears wrong. The herd mentality is not only in stocks, it is also present in politics. He may need however to start the process from scratch and save us from all this hullabaloo.

time he has bought but for what? Speaker Marende should stop wasting time and abide by the Court Ruling made yesterday. Having more and more House Committees meeting about this does not solve anything. The Judge has provided legal direction.
