Uhuru challenged the PM to a popularity contest in the House to gauge who had the majority of Members by their side.
"If indeed the Prime Minister commands a majority in the House, lets test it in the House then," added the Finance Minister.
USURP POWERS
Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi said the ruling by the Speaker was tailored to usurp the powers of Parliament. "The Speaker cannot stop Parliament from doing what it is mandated to do, and this decision is very unfortunate for this country as it goes against the separation of powers," he added.
Kiraitu said the Speaker was exercising Executive powers whereas he should have allowed the
"The Speaker cannot substitute himself as Parliament and the ruling is fundamentally flawed, and we shall challenge it by every means possible. We shall be back on Tuesday," warned Kiraitu.

ReplyDeleteThis is the TIME to safeguard the proper implementation of the New Kenya Constitution.As experienced lawyers in the chamber and Parliament we expect you parliamentarians to follow properly the footsteps of eloquent Hon.Speaker Justice Marende. As parliamentarians you should try to be succinctly CORRECT but not necessarily nice to people but legally do and interpret what is written in the thick New Constitution.That is amiss in the Kenyan Parliament, but why? Even those who are corrupt with serious court cases and also among the 2007 post election violence O'Campo six list on the way to ICC COURT HAGUE just seem to have a right of choosing presidential nominees in an African Parliament with BOLDNESS.If the speaker and an MP eloquently and excellently leverages on very important agenda issues than others he is envied and a vote of no confidence should be passed against him? Is this not a kangaroo court?No look at a new parliament with proper new Constitution, for those MPS who still want be daydreamers the change will change you out of parliament because of misdemeanor to the respected house.
People like Uhuru who want make Kenyans believe that they now, know the Kenyan politics and they can bring peace and liberty by banging tables before the press like drunkard school head boys instead of using oratoritical intelligible poem messages to pass to the people to understand him.The fact that UHURU has a lot of money passed over to him by his late father means nothing to the Kenyan youth today-just be sensible sobre with attitude, gratitude,intelligence, ethical wisdom and common sense knowledge then people will give you respect and embrace all over. As a politician do not show off, your friends will run away from you when you really in need of them.

ReplyDeleteThere is unforseen binocularial legal mistake here again- in President KIBAKI's office that the executive is not succinctly understanding-the offices of Nyachae,AG and Justice Ministry can see it, or is seeing it but will not comment now-That is the advertisement by the Kenya Public Commission and thereafter selective interview by the PSC body that is not recognised in the New Kenya Constitution.It is not recognised because it does not carry the legal judicial expertees capable of vetting and interviwing the AG, DPP and the FinanceBudget Controller.
The Public Service Commission should be reformed immediately, how are they going to advertise and select AG, DPP and Office of Finance/Budget Control if they all do not have the proper legal justice selection Mechanisms?There is again going to be big problem here.They should advertise and then take it to the right legal bodies as per the New Constitution.If the legal mechanism flowchart is not in that order.There is going to be parliamentary noise up to the House Speaker again.This parliamentary up-roaring is going to be reccurring immediately with legal implications too late to repair for the court tribunals.
I like the outreach legal study on "Moral and political philosophy" that RUTO and UHURU should not be running in 2012 Kenya elections" in a comparative legal school of thought is excellent, then, is (i) the set or sets of national and international concepts and propositions which, as nice principles and precepts of action, pick out the kinds of excellent legal chosen action that are truly intelligent and reasonable for Kenyan human individuals and political communities, together with (ii) the well designed New Constitution arguments that justify those concepts and propositions in the face of doubts, or at least to defend them against objections. It is a fundamentally practical philosophy of principles which direct us towards human fulfillment so far as that happier state of affairs is both constituted and achievable by way of the actions that both manifest and build up the excellences of character traditionally called virtues.
We salute MARENDE,RAILA,KARUA and those brave KENYANS against the former illegal presidential nominees in both Parliament and outside-Now is the time to push again for the legal reform with AG and Justice Minister for proper vetting through Kenya intelligence and World Sate-lite-ICC HAGUE intelligence those corrupt/ed leaders from 2007 and those involved in 2007 post election violence and are within the KENYAN O'Campo list of six people going to the ICC COURT OFFICE to be banned immediately as per INTERNATIONAL LAW and the usual Normal Prudence of Jurisdictional Legal Mechanism System from running in the the forthwith 2012 Kenyan elections to avoid the Gaddafi style of banging the tables and causing arrogance of CHAOS in Kenya.They should be asked now to officially bring clearing papers from ICC HAGUE COURT to allow them to openly join the 2012 election race.Without those official ICC HAGUE COURT clearing papers these people are legally not allowed to campaign and run for Kenyan Government Offices as per the New Kenyan Constitution.This is the time that, the legal advisors of the executive need to read thoroughly the constitution and interpret intelligibly by being correct in both theory and practical law academia.
We believe in GOD we TRUST that people who have erred nationally and internationally and within the alibi of you-tube cameras worldwide should not be allowed to stand for 2012 Kenya elections in KENYA. The likes UHURU, RUTO and MUTHAURA have immensely and ignorantly gone against the ICC HAGUE COURT RULES the fact that President KIBAKI leniently allowed them to use their own merit in earning a living is NOT arrogance to the International laid down Regulations as per ICC COURT CHARTER.These are the same culprits who shouted loudest for ICC rather than a local tribunal, they thought ICC would take 5 years to summon them, let them carry their own heavy crosses.
