Too much ado about nothing - Mwaura still a senator..
Kelele mingi. Mwaura already been replaced as per IEBC notice. He can now make noise from outside the Senate.
Jubilee diehards forgot to tame their government to follow the law by the letter. They cheered on as the Jubilee government ignored court orders. Here clearly the government is on the wrong as there are court orders stopping the Senate from expelling Mwaura from the chamber. But as they say, what goes round turns back to bite you.

And tommorow,Odunga and company will clear the path to a refrendum,tanga tanga loosing from all sides,even though personally i dont like this bbi THING.
:) Tangatanga needs to respect the law they are parroting. Nominated senator unlike elected has no leeway to be a rebel. His elector is the party.

Who is the party? The party that has never held elections, never held NEC and all that; That is not a party worth being respected. Therefore you cannot talk about party discipline in such an outfit - ODM at least tries to have some semblance of order.
As for the law - as it stands now - all these gazettement are null and void - Mwaura obtained a high court injunction.
Pundit, when did court injunctions start countining during the Jubilee regime?
Going by court rulings IEBC has yet to open the servers for the 2017 election results. Let us first start there and also give Miguna Miguna his Kenyan passport back before we start talking about Isaac Mwaura and the senate seat handed to him by the Jubilee Party.

That problem - while you think Ruto and his supporters will lose - you are the one losing - by taking Kenya back to Moi era - and worse you're not even getting simple stuff like constituencies.
If Judiciary self-immolate tomorrow - then we will be back to Moi era - and you'll start complain when Ruto become PORK next year.
Actually start crying already.And tommorow,Odunga and company will clear the path to a refrendum,tanga tanga loosing from all sides,even though personally i dont like this bbi THING.
You make big assumptions about Ruto and the future. Anyway legally you are right but realpolitically you are wrong. Lusaka already ignored court injunctions by Murkomen and Kihika; I doubt this will be different.
The same way you're also making assumption about Raila and the future. These people could become PORK and you do not want BBI - with either of them. If uhuru who is politically incompetent - can misuse power now - pray what will Raila or Ruto do.
We want the rule of law...otherwise if we are hear to just cheer anything...then we are idiots like you and kenyaPlato!
We want a kenyan that we can all be proud of ....coz we are not citizens of US of A and Kenya.
As regard Mukomen - that was not court order - but a tribunal order. All it will take Mwaura is to go back to court....and ask the court to quash the gazette notice.
You been crying alot about BBI increase PORK powers. I don't see that but it is a dead-flogged horse. Kenyans wanted BBI structure for years but were sabotaged by MPs. This is democracy at work not dictatorship.
Now about court orders: Uhuru, Lusaka or IEBC should obey them. That is the legal position. Politically we know they have flouted them left and right in the near past - no use for wishful thinking. The 41 judges thing is the most prominent example.
We cannot hate BBI because Uhuru is abusive or incompetent. Future presidents will also make their own choices.The same way you're also making assumption about Raila and the future. These people could become PORK and you do not want BBI - with either of them. If uhuru who is politically incompetent - can misuse power now - pray what will Raila or Ruto do.

Tell what is difference btw old constitution (as amended by NARA act) and BBI. There is absolutely little difference except for devolution.
BBI increase PORK power by killing the other 4 arms of gov. These are BASIC STD 6 CIVIC education.
Any modern democracy requires strong executive, strong parliament, strong judiciary and strong independent commissions/ institutions.
BBI basically makes a mockery of all of them and increase executive power.
1) Parliament - It allows parties to nominate 180 women voting robots and more critically - it now allow the president to appoint politicians into cabinet - while parliament was suppose to vet - and keep executive in check.
2) Judiciary - President (of course coming large senate) will appoint Ombusdman - whose job is basically to officially snitch on judges.
3) Independent - The police commission is dead - and police commissioner - and of course harambee house will not run the force - without any independent commission.
I only agree with you on JO. The rest are Tangatanga talking points. These guys boycotted BBI throughout but now have a long list of grievances. Wait, oh actually they are "neutral". Total joke.
1) You agree that parties should nominate 1/3 of women to make 2/3 gender rule in NA. You know those nominated MPs are just voting reports like you see in Mwaura case. And that is basically killing parliament as oversight body. In that house - you'll have voting robots - who can be dewhipped and kicked out if they dare go against the "party" line.
Parliament become an expensive DEAD BODY.
2) You agree that separation of executive and parliament should be interefered with - so that constitutionally - we won't know the difference. I like current ministers being a political. I like the fact that Mps and senators are in parliament knowing they will never make to executive unless they resign. I would hate Mps kissing arse so they can be appointed ministers.
Parliament goes to bed officially with executive - legally.
If you want ministers in parliament - simple make them ex-officio members of parliament - together with AG.
3) Police independence is gone to the winds. We are back to old police. Yes the current police forces like the DPP has surrendered their constitutional independence to Harambee house but in the future...a strong guy can legally take back control.
Finally if something it being abused or not being implemented - then changing the law to make such abuses or difficulties disappear by making them legal IS MORONIC.
It's better to find out how fix the abuses and the lack of implementation.]
It's like saying rape is so hard to proof - let's remove rape as an offence.
I rather we have de-facto situation - not a de-jure one.I only agree with you on JO. The rest are Tangatanga talking points. These guys boycotted BBI throughout but now have a long list of grievances. Wait, oh actually they are "neutral". Total joke.
1/3 women is so well addressed. In the end you may not even need to nominate them. Yours is feigned ignorance.
1. Parties must ensure 1/3 women in primaries
2. Parties fund will consider gender inclusion to determine cash
3. Only top election losers will be nominated not flowergirls - Beth Mugo, Zippy Kittony, Milly Omanga, etc
4. Nominations are capped at 3 terms or 15 years. Not forever
Remember there is Maraga advisory you been cheering while shamelessly opposing BBI. You wanted parliament to be dissolved and cause crisis - just because your god Ruto has been scorned. Who is really the heckler between us?
The rest about separation of power, cops, bla bla... majority of governments worldwide are parliamentary or hybrid. Including your beloved China. Cops report to elected officials even in the US - which is the CoK2010 model you are defending. So save it. I watched Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot vs Moses Kajwang on KTN after the vote. Aaron had long list of "facts" about how BBI is toxic and evil. Then he was asked, "So are you guys opposing BBI?" The fool mumbled incoherent nonsense about priorities like Ruto and you here.
My fren if BBI is so bad, lead the damn No. It should be easy to convince Wanjiku about evil ombudsman. Time to respect the majority.1) You agree that parties should nominate 1/3 of women to make 2/3 gender rule in NA. You know those nominated MPs are just voting reports like you see in Mwaura case. And that is basically killing parliament as oversight body. In that house - you'll have voting robots - who can be dewhipped and kicked out if they dare go against the "party" line.
