NAIROBI THE HOT CAKE THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO BITE



ON THE BATTLE FOR THE NAIROBI GUBERNATORIAL SEAT
Nairobi being the focal point of all the county politics, the only county with the most number of aspirants. The problem is that Nairobi is like a hot cake, everyone wants to have a bite, and it’s yummy but too hot for the mouth. Save for swallowing
The entrance of water and sanitation cabinet secretary Eugene Wamalwa is a well calculated political move by the Jubilee power brokers. Apparently the largest community in Nairobi or is it in Kibira- the Luyha community- are being positioned in the Jubilee frying pot. It is funny that the ODM political rebels united clandestinely with their stray Jubilee counterparts are being made a false promise of capturing the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.
The Jubilee camp alone is full of spirants eying the same position from, Johnson Sakaja, to Margaret Wanjiru to Mike Sonko Mbuvi to Dennis waweru, Anne Waiguru, just to mention but a few . It is almost impossible that Eugene Wamalwa can be handed over, on a silver platter, this post despite opting to dissolve his party prematurely to impress and perhaps endear himself to the Jubilee power brokers.
The sad truth is that the Luyha community has no portion of the Jubilee cake, may be the biblical under table crumbles that Lazarus ate happily. The endorsement of water minister as the preferred jubilee contestant for Nairobi governorship is a political gimmick, ostensibly meant to hoodwink Luyha voters to voting for President Uhuru Kenyatta. And has nothing to do with Eugene’s ambitions, ethnic inclusivity or building a party with a nationwide outlook and structure. Unfortunately Nirobians are no longer fools to be carried as fools.

ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS

WHY ELECTORAL AMENDMENTS ARE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS. I think these amendments to electoral laws are the ultimate recipe for war and violence. The laws open a legal conundrum which even lawyers cannot unlock. I see a situation in which more than one president will be announced winners if the elections are to be held. Come to think of it. If three commissioners with one acting as the chair can declare a President then the probability of Kenya declaring two presidents concurrently is more than half. It is obvious, the chairman can disappear in the like manner Chris Chege Msando disappeared. Shit do happens. If this happens and the vice assumes the powers of the chair to declare a candidate validly elected president or any other member then voila! If there is a law that will haunt the nation, it is these impromptu amendments. We can run and run from the fact of the matter; these amendments are engineered to create a conducive atmosphere and act as an incentive to rigging. After the ci

CHIEF JUSTICE IS ALSO THE HEAD OF A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE IS THE HEAD OF JUDICIARY. In the principles of separation of power, The President is not the head of government. He is the head of state. He heads one arm of the government called executive. The chief justice is the head of Judiciary (not attorney general). He is the president of the supreme Court - the highest court of the land. Then there is the Speaker, who is the head of parliament. Most of the times many have thought the attorney general heads the Judiciary but no. Attorney general's chief role is advising the president and parliament. He is an ex- officio member of parliament and also a member of the executive. He is part of the cabinet which forms the executive. Parliament, both Senate and Legislative assembly are charged with making laws. The executive implement those laws and other functions while Judiciary reserves the decision as to who has violated aIntern the laws and interpretes the law and the extent and impacts of those transgressions.

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains lots of p
