EMT, the guy does not seem to be even an abececadarian when it comes to understanding the fundamental tenets of legal interpretation!...Halafu kwenye posts zako unajichanganya. On one hand, you saying the court just provided an opinion which simply mean it may not be binding. On the other hands, you are referring to judgment and ruling which are binding. Which is which?

like which one? Listen, don't forget that Kenya is still a poor third world country. It does not help comparing yourself with others in the same boat. You just have to live with that!
Kinacho matter ni Christmas au sheria?
Ok, let's move on!I wasn't talking about poverty. Of course I know that Kenya is poor and in the third world, but that is not the contentious issue here. You begun by saying that there's still a long way to go in Kenya. I acknowledged that noting, however, that in the recent past, Kenya seems to be making moves in the right direction unlike some of our brother countries. We saw multiple incidents last year of the leader of the opposition in one of our brother countries being assaulted by agents of the state who seemed to act with impunity, safe in the knowledge that constitutional protections afforded the individual and organisations would not or could not be enforced with regard to their actions. One of our other brother countries, led by a tall thin man is developing into an autocratic dictatorship while others are moving in the opposite direction. It doesn't take a lot of thinking to see that, in terms of civil and democratic rights, some countries in the region are developing positively while some are regressing. I don't know why it's a big deal me saying so.
So, the Accord overrides the provisions of the Constitutions? Or are you saying that in case of any conflict between the Accord and the Constitution, the former should prevail?

Mwisho, when does the parliamentary term starts. Does it start on the election date or the date the MP walikula kiapo?
Most Kenyans seem to corroborate your avouchment, like in this NTV reportagé!...i don't see elections happening in march 2013. Kenyans will not buy it
Kenya Heading For Another Round Of Violence In 2012 Poll
JACKAL NEWS - The Kenyan political elite have not done enough to put to bed the ghosts of 2008 post-election carnage, and now the nation had better prepare for another round of deadly violence, an authoritative London-based journal is warning.
Not God, not again.
The Africa Confidential (AC) however is saying the scale of the 2008 killings maybe unlikely, but there are indications that the restive east African nation is looking at possible violence as it heads for a difficult elections either in August or December 2012.
'‘The political elite's calculations for 2012 look dangerously off the mark. The ghosts of the last elections are lurking and could yet inspire another season of madness,'' the newsletter, published by Patrick Smith, said in its New Year analysis for the country.
'‘Political violence on the scale of January 2008 is unlikely but it may not be entirely averted,'' AC said.
In the coming elections, Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be seeking to clinch the presidency in a contest that he is not assured of winning, but which he – and The Economist – believe he will win. When he claimed that President Kibaki stole his victory in December 27 2007 presidential elections, weeks of killings started, bringing to the fore historical issues which the country had swept under the carpet for years.
The main issue is the distribution of land after the White settlers left the country at independence.
And AC is warning that this issue will still became central to politics of next elections, as well as other several unfinished business. And it appears that the new constitution – which devolves power and hopefully money to the regions - is also the next big problem.
'‘With devolution, political competition will migrate to the counties… new conflicts will emerge within the new counties, notably over the treatment of ethnic minorities… minorities may challenge what many among them had expected to be an agreed distribution of power and patronage,'' AC said in its bleak analysis of prospects for the country.
Many in Kenya believe that the country remains deeply divided since the deadly 2008 violence in which the International Criminal Court has stepped in and may just confirm charges of crimes against humanity against five prominent politicians and a journalist.
Two of the prominent men are Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto who are both running for president. If the charges facing them are confirmed, they say they will still run for the top job. The courts, under Willy Mutunga, will likely to stop them. And that is also a problem.
'‘Kenya is basically in an emergency, and as you know most emergencies graduate to become crises,'' a political commentator told Jackal News.

i beg to differ. basically the premise of their prediction is that violence happened in 2008 therefore there will be violence in 2012. i dont about you but that seems very shallow.They are not haters neither are they doubters!
