Is the Supreme Court President, Dr Willy Mutunga still in office?

nowhereinafrica07 • 10 years ago

Francis Mutie, whatever is unconstitutional will always remain unconstitutional, no matter how much language you may use to address it with. The provincial Administration is unconstitutional.

Devolution must mean just that,devolution. In all devolved governments worldwide,the national government does not interfere in the business of devolved gov unless by the invitation of the county gov or in a case where it is in the country's main interest. Why is it in Kenya there always has to be a stumbling block to the people's will. Kwani Kanu is still in power??

I put part of the blame on the press. They should be digging deeper and probing these leaders. Even more, they should seek to clarify these 'misconceptions with the CEO - Mr president. As things stand at the moment, a narrative has been developed and I don't think Kenyans should expect anything different from what Bwana PC has said unless they push for clarity and subservience to the constitution from the president.

Bwana mutie devolution means must go. The courts have become a government instrument to frustrating what majority of kenyans want. Please prepare to leave office with dignity before you a force fully ejected. Leaders in nyanza will noy allow the central govt to continue frustrating much needed development denied since independence. Please go home bwana PC

Moneys given to counties is not counties money it is tax payers money. When the national govt gives alloctates money to counties this money is coming from tax payers nationally. So yes i want my taxes to be used prudently and not wasted on usless projects or other stuff that does not help the county. If the county govenor wants to build a palatial house for himself and buy luxury cars using my taxes i want to know

Mimi Mpenzi • 10 years ago

Are you implying county residents are not tax payers?

The governors are the constitutionally elected leaders of the counties to replace the PCs, any other officer should and is rightly placed under them by the supreme new constitution, anything other than this is a cry of a recalled PC Mutie.

Governors are supreme in County administration not the PCs and DCs who are political appointees and who will only be accountable to the appointing office based in Nairobi while overlooking the views and priorities of the rank and file in the grassroots.Decentralization initiatives is being frustrated from all departments.Funds to counties have been reduced on flimsy reasons,DCs who still hold illegal offices are kept in office for no apparent good reason,IG of police is frustrating police reforms.Ati new constitution..bure kabisa.throw it in the trash can and let's move on.

AugustineKaruga • 10 years ago

Did you say 'illegally in office'? Wrong my friend. Legally in office by the new constitution, a law that was passed late last year and a court ruling this last week!

jackson otieno • 10 years ago

Each passing day the spirit of devolution is being exorcised and we are left with a constitution deprived of its life force. The architects of this status quo agenda should not forget that when the law becomes unjust, rebelion may be taken as duty..

County commissioners have no role to play at all apart from creating more conflict of interest in county management. Its all about providing jobs and keeping the wage bill big.

KaCharlie • 10 years ago

"This includes ensuring accountability of county governments on public funds allocated to them". The PC has let the cat out of the bag. So the county commissioners are the supervisors of the county governors.

pehla • 10 years ago

Who told you the County Governors are Angeles? Majority, particularly former Mpigs sought this position to steal the fat County funds in the manner they syphoned the CDF kitty.

........what's wrong with being supervised??.....

KaCharlie • 10 years ago

Surpervision is through the people who elected them. Otherwise we could have just kept the old system whereby all orders come from Nairobi.

chris • 10 years ago

who supervises the president? Governors owe no authority nothing, they are only accountable to county residents that voted for them and whose interests they must guard, this thing of central government fooling people that it is the whole and the one with people's interests at heart is a 50 year old lie.

Don-Q • 10 years ago

Nothing wrong, oldframe. And this time round, let the governors supervise the county commissioners,yeah? Deal sealed? Thank you very much.

Richard Gitaga • 10 years ago

Oldframe and Don Q...Is such role enshrined in the constitution or anyother law? Provincial administration supervising the use of public funds..What about the controller of budget? Read the part of the constitution which deals with Public Finance...No mention is made of county commissioners supervising use of public funds. this caliber of officers is a waste of public funds whose expenditure they are portraying to monitor. The auditor General is the only one mandated to report overall on use of these funds and give a certificate. What about the Muties?????

Chebusit_Marindany • 10 years ago

Is this part of the roles of the county commissioners? If this is true, then, PC Mutie has let the "cat out of the basket"! ..."The county commissioners have a responsibility of overseeing the management of the duties of the national government in the counties. This includes ensuring accountability of county governments on public funds allocated to them".

mugacha • 10 years ago

Surely what is wrong with this ? Don't we want our funds protected against misuse by the county politicians ?
