FELLOW KENYANS, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER SIEGE! 🇰🇪
Our Constitution was designed with one clear principle. No single political office should have unchecked control over public money. That is why it separates political leadership from the management of the country’s finances.
Article 225(1) establishes the National Treasury as the constitutional custodian of public finances. Its role is too important to be left to politics alone.
Yet Section 11 of the Public Finance Management Act places the National Treasury under the National Executive and under the authority of a political Cabinet Secretary.
This is not a small legal issue. It goes to the heart of constitutional governance.
Parliament has the power to make laws that implement the Constitution. It does not have the power to change the Constitution through an ordinary Act of Parliament.
When the independence of public financial management is weakened, the checks that protect taxpayers’ money are weakened too.
The Constitution must remain above politics. Every law passed by Parliament must respect it.
If we fail to defend Chapter Twelve today, we risk eroding one of the most important safeguards for accountability and responsible use of public resources.
The Constitution belongs to all of us. Defending it is a duty we all share.
On 20th July 2024,I wrote an article predicting the then HE Deputy President Gacagua will be influential come 2027 - the money or the box metaphor.
2027 elections will use DCP to defend my seat. But remain a link with Linda.
