POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED TO FINISH INCOMPLETE PROJECTS.



POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED TO FINISH INCOMPLETE PROJECTS.
Although politicians are already campaigning a few days into the official campaign period, their acts are contrary to the dictates of the election regulations. These illegal campaigns are at the full glare of an IEBC, which is supposed to independent and guided by the law.
          It is sad how politicians have no campaign agenda. No manifestos or policies to be sold to ‘wenyenchi’. Most politicians only rant tirades of abuses, character assassination and blatant defamation, wherever they go.
 Only a sissy who does not know how to seduce a lady, tells a potential girlfriend, how the other boys are bad and he is the best. It is almost impossible to endear yourself to another person by portraying a rival evil. The truth is, yourself you aren’t a saint.
          Such contenders who concentrate in tarnishing another politician’s name do not themselves add onto their image any popularity, but demonstrate themselves despicable and worthy to be ignored like plague.
          The opposition should be able to criticize constructively the government, without tarnishing the names of the incumbents. Conversely, the government has their track record to defend themselves without tarnishing the names of their opponents. The incumbent and the opposition together cannot extricate themselves from the failures witnessed in the previous coalition government in the period 2007-2013. The coalition government was a dual power centred government in which did not operate in unison. One faction was always in disagreement or dissatisfied with the decision the other faction that wielded more power made.
          The Jubilee government must be judged by the report card of their five year term. Consequently, the NASA government can only be judged by their promises, not until they assume office. Anything carried over from post independence to 2013 is empty rhetoric meant ostensibly to hoodwink Kenyans, this is because in 2010 Kenya ushered in a new legal dispensation, which is binding to all Kenyans and compensates on the loopholes in the former constitution.
          Politicians also should never be re-elected on account of incomplete work. First, even if they are not re-elected, the elect will inherit the moral obligation to finish the project. Two, some projects are deliberately started during or just before elections to act as a clarion call for their re-election. Worse still, some projects are stalled by mismanagement or improperly planning. The bottom line is political campaigns should be based on policies, manifestos and achievements not name calling.

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
