Yeah with article 260 including governor; it going to be battle btw Article 75 (3) and article 99(3). Sonko likely to bribe Odhiambo and his lawyer with millions to withdraw the case. He already bribed the main petitioner.

He can only stand for MP, Senator, Gov and PORK. Otherwise he cannot hold a sub chief office because he fails chapter six. But people can make him their MP - for the people are supreme and can choose to exercise power directly like in an election.
If we're going to get technical, then Sonko is free to run as MP. Let Buru folk pick him if they want. The guy is entertaining and can talk.

As I said, if we want to be technical and not talk about principles, then Sonko can run for MP. I'm not sure how Article 99 applies to the office of Governer.

Same qualification applies for governor and PORK as an MP except for the degree and signatures. Your principles. My Principles. Not the same. They are voter preferences. So technical we need to use article 75 (3) to lock Sonko out. I wont be sad if he isnt elected. He has nothing special. He only denies oDM/Raila the opportunity. Otherwise btw Joho and Sonko - the difference is the same.

So now you agree with us. You were praising her then.
She should keep her opinion to herself.
She should only do so in the court.

This one need to be removed.
look like she only good in family law(Conveniet Excuse) ..but she killed BBI.Next election she is Azimio coz Martha is a friend.So like BBI Ruto need to beat Raila by huge mile Koome is a now a certified moron..if not doing prayers..she is discussing legal issues on tv
The way Moses Kuria describes Kalonzo is the same way we can describe Pundit:
