The @LawSocietyofKe has secured conservatory orders suspending the punitive, arbitrary and illegal directive by the @CA_Kenya. The Authority must forthwith reinstate all signals it has shut down on account of their unconstitutional directive. Contempt of this order will be met with full prosecution of the leadership of CA.

*Section 4 of the PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT (PROCEDURE),2012

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

Firstly, you need to identify the gap in the legislation then handwrite,print or type your petition in official languages and address the petition to the relevant clerk of the house. You must satisfy no pending matter in court about the same issue.

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

True. What is a simple explanation of the actual process a citizen is to follow?

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

Section 4(1)A petition to the National Assembly or the Senate shall be— (a)submitted to the Clerk of the relevant House by the petitioner; or
(b)presented by a member of the National Assembly or the Senate on behalf of a petitioner, with the consent of the relevant Speaker.

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

Well, this provision simply implies that citizens are free to engage in democratic process of law making and promotes responsiveness, accountability and transparency on the part of legislation.

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

Very good start.

We need a simple explanation to fully empower citizens as the Constitution intended.

Daktari, I believe the same article provides that its the parliament to enact the provisions for the procedure. Thus we have Senate Standing orders and Parliament enacted the Petitions to Parliament (Procedure) Act (No. 12 of 2012).

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

“Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.”

Article 119, CoK

Homework: do you know the procedure for exercising the right to petition parliament under Article 119?

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

Well noted! To be precise it's Section 17(3) of the Employment Act. Thank you!

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

The employees of such places may be paid there. The Employment Act makes an exception.

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

Just curious, Again what if the employer is the liquor industry like EABL how do this law become applicable?

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

When we get some money after being broke for a time, enduring tough work conditions, the irony is you can spend it all in a pub where people appreciate you. Best to remove the trap so school fees and bills can be paid; promote health and well being.

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

I understand now Daktari!😁

[Dr Sylvia Kangara @SylviaKangara]

Also to promote respect for the employment relationship. I can see employers exploiting employees if wages are paid inside a pub🤣

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

@SylviaKangara Very interesting,
What if the office you work for is near a liquor store and maybe the employer pays you from office, does the law prohibit that or it envisages instances where the employer and employee are in a pub only?

[Peter Mutua @PeterMutua_]

@SylviaKangara Daktari,
What do you think the law makers envisioned when coming up with such provision of law?

[Dr Moeketsi @AusBassie]

I need you to congratulate yourself on a regular basis. Do not wait for the outcome.. the process itself, is what truly matters. You don’t just fly from one point to another.. you work for it. Now that energy/effort you put in daily.. deserves a round of applause! Keep pushing.

Get used to saying NO!
Its good for your health.

@StandardKenya @its_benaiah keep going!💯

moreso on free movement of persons where the protocol requires members of partner states to move freely without restrictions on visa requirements but still some partner states require one to produce a visa.

I think as EAC we are not ready for the Common Currency because the EAC integration process should be progressive as stipulated under Article 5(2) of the Treaty for the Establishment of the EAC and on look of things we are yet to fully implement the EAC common Market protocol,
