Word of advice;before positing any arguments for or against the ruling delivered in the Nairobi High Court Case Miscellaneous Application No.890 of 2004 it is trite practice to read the Ruling first.
- A copy of the Entire Ruling on the Kadhis Court can be downloaded from CAPITAL FM'S WEBSITE
- For Those who are not Lawyers and cannot be able to digest the entire 114 page ruling and the different facets/issues the ruling address.Kenya Law Report Website has a Layman friendly version: Download
LEGAL VIEW:
ReplyDelete===========
1. From a purely technical viewpoint, they Judges are right (like it or not).
2. However, the SPIRIT of the law has been flouted by this ruling because here the process of Justice (which is CONTEXT BASED) has been abused.
- The ruling was kept in limbo and there's no explanation for the delay.
- At this point in time, the Parties should have disqualified themselves on basis of their "Religion". Adherents of Traiditional religions, Hindu judges or atheists could have been called in.
- Judges are perceived to be among the beneficiaries of any derailment of the proposed constitutions.
Thus DESPITE being technically "correct", the ruling is repugnant in its timing, context and perceived motives.
