Null and void. Those changes are against Cok2010. Unless it was ammended. Which judiciary will kill it. Wambugu and others are just showing CoA why BBI need to be killed in such a macabre version nobody will want to imagine ammending Katiba again.

Judiciary will remain as is. These ideas should have been in 2010.

The judiciary should be funded to be able to hire 300 magistrates courts - 47 high courts - 24 court of appeals - and of course one appeal.

Counties should also be allowed to establish small judiciary for small issues - kadhi like courts - crimes like alcoholism - should be dealt by county courts - and each county can decide how to handle this.

No need to clog the system with many by-laws crimes - like petty thieves, alcoholism, drunk and disordely.
