WHY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD AVOID IMPROMPTU BANNS.

BANNING IS NEVER THE SOLUTION.

I have learnt banning anything in Kenya is never a solution but a source of problems. The best case scenario is the banning of the night bus travel. Just imagine how the dumb-ass decision has affected individual and national economies. You booked a bus at ksh 800 pre season and now you are being told you have to part with about ksh 2000, this Njaanuary.

The same to banning Shisha. Where is the wisdom in banning shisha and leaving behind the same tobacco in other forms? In short we approve of the same toxic chemicals bot not for  the piped form? Does it really create any difference even if one session of shisha is equal to smocking five packets of cigarettes? I don't think so. Cigarette and other toxic drugs are but a matter of choice between life and  death. Everybody should be left to bear his own choice.

What about banning of plastic paper bags? Well we could have done the right thing on this but in an imbecilic way. We are poised to lose all the gains we opted for. Right now there is a growing manace of cloth and manilla bags. Off course these are a lot worse when it comes to blocking drainage channels and physical pollution.

Solid waste management requires not only legislation but also public education on waste management, policy formulation and implementation on waste management.

The list is endless.

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
