Supreme Court - CDF is illegal

Best news since the nullification of the 2017 presidential election.

Now I hope in the next parliament the MPs will be restricted to their constituitional role of legislature and checking on the national government. The issue of development should be left solely to the national and county goverments.

Feather weight legal practitioners in the supreme court. Weakest link in the judiciary.

Unless pushed out, we have a serious problem.

Learned fellow, can you expound on your remarks?

Mps will create a new fund

They too are not above the constituition. It all boils down to one sentence. "the CDF Act 2013 violates the principle of separation of powers". Legislators cannot play part of the executive that they are supposed to keep in check.

The High Court and Court of Appeal were of the same view. Will you also do away with them?

Soma vizuri kabla kuandika porojo hapa.

The same case went through the High Court and Court of Appeal. The two courts found CDF to be going against the constituition. This verdict has now been upheld by the Supreme Court.

They will find someway around it -

[Dear Mami]

This is excellent! In the US, they have smaller administrations running small towns headed by mayors. People of the area sit in town-halls and debate/discuss what development they want in their locale: Is it more schools? More parks? ETC. They budget what they have towards that type of development. I've always thought that was what was missing in our governance structure. We need CDF-type development at more and more localized levels, but that needs to be a genuine small govt, not county and national legislatures. Yet another reason for Constitutional Review.
