Yesterday in Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, failed to assure the country that the government’s decision‑making on the Ebola question is within the law and fully under control. The Constitution demands both legality and respect for court orders and public participation.
Listening to him, the message is clear, the court will have its say but the executive will enforce their way.
When a High Court has already issued conservatory orders suspending an Ebola‑related facility, any suggestion that the Executive can press on regardless converts being within the law into a slogan to justify disobedience. Constitutional obedience is not optional and it is not subject to administrative convenience.
Kenyans are entitled to clear, honest answers. Who authorised these arrangements, on what legal basis and with what safeguards for public health and sovereignty? Dismissing concerns as mere alarm while sidestepping these questions undermines public trust in both the Ministry of Health and Parliament’s oversight role.
The right to health under Article 43 must be read together with Articles 10, 94, 95 and 165 on constitutionalism, public participation and the authority of the courts. You cannot promote public health by eroding the very legal framework that protects Kenyans from arbitrary executive action.
If Uhuru signed the deal, let Ruto cancel it and hold Mr. Kenyatta to account
Hamuezi tudanganya kama sisi ni illiterate Sudi Yamune😂
JAIL Uhuru and recover the billions you say he pocketed
BOTTOM LINE: Ruto has failed & is WANTAM
Kwendeni huko!
