It's a weird watching folks trying to justify things on the basis of law. Stealing elections, intimidating judges, etc, are illegal even treasonous. But here we are. The pretense that one group is law abiding is just that. A charade. The reality is more about who makes their version of the truth stick. At this point it looks like the jubilant has the inner lane. But nothing(except might) should prevent Raila or anyone else for that matter from creating their version. The back and forth references to law is nonsense. Democracy died August 8th.
My very sentiments. Kisungu mingi for nothing. Ouru's government is as fake as a fake plant in an office building and folks are trying to water it and prune it as if it were real. What I find amazing is NASA laity understands this more clearly than the lawyers on TV trying to act as if this was a legitimate government which deserves the legal protections of the constitution.
The jubilant and his previous analogues have basically managed to cobble up legitimacy through abuse of machinery of state. Machinery of state is used as a substitute for consent of the people.
The commissioner made this declaration, the court ruled that way, the chief justice swore the leader in etc. Regardless of the circumstances, they(and to an extent the oppressed) have always taken this as a lawful outcome.
Under normal circumstances that is the correct view. But the idea being that you can break any laws, as long as the machinery of state absolves you is what is problematic. It is just a version of the might is right mantra. I think this is the legacy that NASA has to dismantle.
