The country's economy is grounded, but its leadership is permanently in the air. The most stable thing in the country right now is his travel schedule.
When three judges comprising a bench mandated to determine weighty constitutional issues STUMBLE over ORDINARY English words they are supposed to have written in a unanimous judgment, it raises serious questions on whether SOMEONE else, or some other people, WROTE the judgment being read for them. It tends to imply some impropriety, even if only subliminally.
On another matter, it makes no sense for Kenyan judges to spend hours reading hundreds of pages of submissions by the parties. It’s a waste of time and exposés analytical mediocrity. We can do with brief summaries because submissions are NOT EVIDENCE.
Lastly, judges should not refer to parties with useless political honorific like “His Excellency”. Parties must be treated equally, without CLASS HIERARCHY, hence “Mr.” or “Ms.” are adequate and appropriate.
Gachagua: The right to a fair hearing has been trashed and ignored in broad daylight... We shall proceed to file an appeal at the Court of Appeal on the decision and hope that justice will prevail.
Kenyan police fired tear gas to disperse protests in Nanyuki against a planned quarantine center for Americans exposed to Ebola, with residents voicing concerns over consultation https://t.co/97R6JPLeEZ
The courts pronouncement on @rigathi impeachment is flawed and troubling.
Once the court found that the right to fair hearing had been violated, it was duty bound to nullify the impeachment proceedings.
Damages cannot be a substitute to the right to fair hearing, and this pronouncement is a blot on our jurisprudence @Kenyajudiciary@LawSocietyofKe
The “African Client” used taxpayers money to buy himself an aircraft and appoint ACASS to manage it.
He then has the government lease the aircraft for his use during his sightseeing trips abroad.
While overtaxing his people without mercy.

Ndegwa Njiru: We have presided over the funeral of the country and the republic of Kenya. You could see the judicial nonsense that was there. They say Gachagua’s rights were violated, and instead of doing what is constitutionally right, to quash, they avoid. We never came here to seek orders and recommendations for legislation, that is why we are saying the constitution has been buried today. The consequences of finding that the impeachment has been quashed are that Kindiki should have vacated, which is why we are calling it judicial nonsense
He ought to win based on the finding that he was denied a fundamental right when his adjournment request was rejected after all senators admitted that he was ill!
The court erred by disregarding this significant finding!
Your rights were violated, but the decision of that violation stands.
Even a nursery school drop out like Oscar Kipchumba Sudi is surprised by such mediocrity.
Massive solidarity to the people in Laikipia fighting necolonialism right now. The people have rejected the quarantine facilities. Kenyan police are enemies of the people. #RutoMustGo
Charles Kanjama: Normally, when a right to fair trial or fair hearing is infringed, you invalidate the hearing, you set it aside, or you order a new trial. This is the first time in my experience as a lawyer that the court has made a clear finding that the right to a fair trial was substantively violated but has failed to reverse the underlying outcome of that fair trial. The court said our hands are tied because impeachment is final; we cannot undo it. The court at that time said we can overturn the outcome of the impeachment, but today it has said once the impeachment is done, it cannot be overturned. There is a lot of inconsistency in the decision of the court #CitizenMondayReport
