Title: Status of Devolution
Post by: gout on December 15, 2019, 01:11:49 PM
With a useless COG, compliant senate and myopic kanjoras the musis may stop soon.

The cash crunch  seems to be the best ploy to disable counties.

Micro managing the counties over pending while AG, parastatals and ministries owes trillions.

Judiciary- Ngugi's mixed bag ruling on governors staying out of office once charged. With enthusiastic ODPP, DCI and now Twalib, there is need for a clear timeframe for hearing of the cases involving governors. Marathons with 1-3 months is possible. But with Uhuru disabling judiciary it is shit upon shit of backlogs.

Seems Jubilee is at war with everything - when the blowback comes it will be a messy state.

Biggest threat to devolution is judiciary rulling that allows DPP the power to kick out a whole level of gov on strength of suspicion of graft. It insane. Ngungi has good heart but is clearly not ready for big time. No wonder Uhuru has refused his promotion to the Court of Appeal.

This can be solved by an administrative directive by Maraga to have the case heard and determined in less than 3 months; if a presidential election can be heard and determined in 14 days - these cases can also be fasttracked. Parliament or senate can cement the directive in law.

Speculation is that Uhuru and his AG, Kihara have personal axes to grind with the nominees. Seems we need more and more mundane laws spelling out common sense stuff to avoid these unecessary grandstandings.

Yes we need to codify common sense into law
