Is it possible for us(Kenyan citizens) to draft/change/ammend city council by laws expecially with regard to how they arrest/prosecute offenders,yours rights while at their hands. By the way someone told me that those are just thugs in uniforms and yesterday after an encounter with them was tempted to believe so.

@Wendz someone said the law is an ass. I know you have seen these guys arrest someone,they use excess force even when not necessary while the law states "use reasonable force if one resists"
Again if you are taken to those courts at city hall they read the charges and the fines to you without giving you the chance to plead guilty or not guilty. The problem is that those charges are "cooked up"

@kratos. Trust me i had a nasty experience with them jana. One that was not good at my place of work and i was left wondering what are the boundaries.

Need to know too because they harassed me over the weekend too

I hear theres a dreaded lorry that fagias guys in town and takes them straight to court where you are fined bila defending yourself..also where are kanjo parking attendants when u need them,woe unto you if you're in a rush. Is it true that they hide,wait for you to leave without the ticket so that your car is clamped?

@Rock That was my point. you arrested at the place of work. you are not responsible for what they are looking,all of sudden you find yourself at city hall chambers. charges are public nuisance and obstraction. you are not reguired to plead guilty or not no deffence,fine is 30k or six months. you are forced to part with the 30k. My querry is is this the law?

mmmhhh Mombasa republican council vs nairobi citizen

Let us sit down and respect the MRC for doing what every other Kenyan should be doing. Instead of complaining all the time, why don't you take the city kajos to court.

Trying to blame Mutunga here or even the judiciary is really unfair.

You are the one being bundled in the lorry. You are the one who's accepting to pay a fine for something you didn't do.

Be brave and take the case to court.

It's time citizens started taking matters into their own hands.

I choose the cowardly option. I never go to the city center. I'm so scared of those kajo jamaas I even switch off my phone in case they accuse me of shouting in the streets. It's so bad, when I see a kajo guy, I run towards a policeman.

Other people I know or to be precise most Kenyans I know choose to bribe. So it seems the system works.

If you go to court and confess to a crime, then you are a criminal and at the mercy of the court. Granted it may be a false claim or a true one, you are the one who confessed.

So you are asking the CJ to follow the words of a criminals. I hope you get where I'm going at here.

The law really is an ass.

The solution is clear. Plead not guilty wapende wasipende. Then you have a chance. Only the MRC has shown that they are serious about their legal issues. the rest of us ni porojo tu.

That is my point exactly. What do you mean "not given a chance to plead"

That is a very very serious accusation against a judge or magistrate. This a forum with no names behind it and such statements are very serious.

Especially for the magistrate in question. Name them please and I can assure you that tommorow everyone will be allowed to plead. If that is the case.

Heck, take a recorder with you and get a few witnesses and that story will end.

In the meantime, it is just that. An allegation with no feet.

Dude you rant too much and say nothing. Amurabi has not confessed to anything because he wasn't given the opportunity. Sasa MRC inaingilia wapi bwana ??
