Mutula: Four bills are ready


It's all systems go for the implementation of the new constitution. The Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs says there are at least 4 major pieces of legislation that are ready to be tabled in parliament for starters. The bills according to the Justice Minister Mutula Kilonzo will be vital in the implementation of the constitution that is set to be promulgated in a week's time. Speaking at a meeting with Media Owners and Editors' Guild Mutula said that the law that should guide the Electoral process henceforth is ready. On the vital Judicial changes that are anticipated, Mutula gave the assurance that the legislation on the Vetting of Judges is also set. Mutula gave the example of the incident where APs raided a police station to release their colleague on Sunday as a precursor for the much needed police reforms whose bill he says is also in place. Another vital law, which is a pillar of the implementation process, is a Supreme Court whose law he says will be in place by Christmas. The Justice Minister urged the media to help in the implementation process by joining the Civic education effort.
