A laymanโs point of view: Gachagua constitutional rights were violated. Fair. Upholding the impeachment is where l draw the line. You canโt give with the left and take with right hand. If l call it travesty and miscarriage of justice understand l am a layman, judges letโs down.
If court sits beyond official working hours, what stops the judiciary from having special courts to dispense justice 24/7 to avoid hii kamata kamata conundrum?
The Law Society of Kenya strongly condemns the shocking arrest of Chief Justice Emeritus @dkmaraga and environmental activists protesting the irregular allocation of 76 acres of Nairobi National Park. Bundling a retired head of our Judiciary into a police vehicle for peacefully opposing a Sh42 Billion project, reportedly pushed through without public participation, is a direct assault on the civic space guaranteed under Article 37 of the Constitution. National heritage sites are not state property to barter behind closed doors.
The LSK will not stand by while police force is weaponized against constitutional defenders. We have immediately dispatched an LSK legal team to Langโata Police Station to secure the unconditional release of the activists, and I commend the CJ Emeritus for refusing to leave custody until all those arrested with him are freed. We demand an immediate end to the harassment of civic actors and a transparent public audit of the Bomas expansion plan. The @LawSocietyofKe remains firmly on the frontlines to protect our laws and our land.
Burying your head in the sand is making a bad state worse. You canโt afford to behave like a colonial chief as you address the stakeholders. Over to you in Jogoo house. Meanwhile Harambee House please take necessary action to safe our children and property.
@EduMinKenya An open advice to Ministry of Education: Just reorganize the schoolsโ calender, let the students take a two weeks break. Hold a National discourse on the crisis immediately to have wholistic solution by stakeholders.
@mthosibanda@dr_zsaul1 Great, just look for the epicentre of the problem and address it more comprehensively. Short term fixes wonโt work. Resprocity is also crucial as you look for solutions. Many African Countries stood with you during your darkest moments, you can afford to act humanely Ndugu zetu.
