The CARTOON principled man who spent most of his time figh- ting the establishment has set tongues wagging with his about-turn. Hassan is said to have been at the centre of identification of ICC witnesses in the case against DP William Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta. Ruto and Hassan engaged in ugly spats over the matter as Ruto apparently believed the ex-Kenya National Commission of Human Rights commissioner was among people who wanted him jailed at The Hague. When he entered politics, Hassan linked Jubilee to all man- ner of ills, including the disappearance of Muslim clerics at the Coast. So when did Ruto become Hassan’s mentor, as he claimed on Sunday? Just like ex-Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba — who once said if his blood is mixed with Jubilees, it forms a fatal clot — Hassan has pulled a surprise. Now he may help Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid. JUBILEE legislators yesterday had a field day in Parliament, taunting their NASA counterparts that have to pay their supporters to participate in anti-IEBC demonstrations in some perceived NASA strongholds. Four Jubilee MPs were over- heard in the corridors telling NASA legislators to come clean and stop funding protests — if the people support their genuine cause. Another challenged them to account for the money re- cently collected from Kenyans, some in an M-Pe- sa account, to fund Raila Odinga’s presidential bid.

Yields on the 91, 182 and 364-day papers remained unchanged at 8.1%, 10.3% and 11.0%, respectively. The economy could face a setback due to the uncertainty surrounding the presidential election re-run as the opposition party announced its withdrawal from the upcoming poll, while the High Court directed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to amend a gazette notice to include Thirdway Alliance Kenya party candidate, Ekuru Aukot, and consequently other presidential candidates, in the upcoming presidential election. Consequently, IEBC has announced that it shall include all the 8 presidential candidates who participated in the 8th August poll in the fresh election; Equities: During the week, the equities market was on a downward trend with NSE 25, NSE 20 and NASI losing 2.2%, 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively, taking their YTD performance to 19.4%, 16.8% and 13.8% for NASI, NSE 25 and NSE 20, respectively. According to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the value of mobile payments dropped by 7.3% to Kshs 286.3 bn in August from Kshs 308.9 bn in July, mainly attributed to reduced business activity as a result of the political uncertainty, and reduced lending to the private sector; Private Equity: New York based IT Technology firm, Andela, has raised Kshs 4.1 bn from DBL Partners, Amplo, Salesforce Ventures, Africa-focused TLcom Capital and existing investors, Google Ventures and Spark Capital, to fund technology firms in Kenya, Nigeria and Uganda; Real Estate: In a bid to address the national housing shortage of 2.0 mn units as per the World Bank, the Kenyan Government unveiled a Building Research Centre, which will bring private developers and all other housing sector stakeholders together to address the housing shortage through a joint effort.

  • Kenya General Elections, 2017
    FINAL REPORT REPUBLIC OF KENYA General Elections 2017 REPUBLIC OF KENYA European Union Election Observation Mission FINAL REPORT General Elections 2017 January 2018 This report contains the findings of the EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) on the general elections 2017 in Kenya. The EU EOM is independent from the European Union’s institutions, and therefore this report is not an official position of the European Union. KEY CONCLUSIONS OF THE EU EOM KENYA 2017 1. The Kenyan people, including five million young people able to vote for the first time, showed eagerness to participate in shaping the future of their country. However, the electoral process was damaged by political leaders attacking independent institutions and by a lack of dialogue between the two sides, with escalating disputes and violence. Eventually the opposition withdrew its presidential candidate and refused to accept the legitimacy of the electoral process. Structural problems and specific electoral issues both need to be addressed meaningfully to prevent problems arising during future elections. 2. Electoral reform needs to be carried out well in advance of any election, and to be based on broad consensus. The very late legal amendments and appointment of the leadership of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) before the 2017 elections put excessive pressure on the new election administration. 3. Despite efforts to improve the situation, there was a persistent lack of trust in the IEBC by the opposition and other stakeholders, demonstrating the need for greater independence and accountability as well as for sustained communication and more meaningful stakeholder consultation. There was improved use of technology, but insufficient capacity or security testing.

  • Kenya's Gubernatorial Impeachments
    Kenya’s Gubernatorial Impeachments: Superior Courts as Guardians against Abuse of Power Leonard Muye Mwakuni* Abstract The Constitution of Kenya, the County Governments Act and the Standing Orders of the respective County Assemblies and Senate provide for the scope of the consti- tutional grounds and the actual procedure for removal of county governors. A trans- parent procedure for the removal of governors is vital to avoid unnecessary politi- cal uncertainties and controversies. The removal process is quasi-judicial with two political bodies: respective County Assemblies and Senate playing an active role. The significance of the role of the superior courts in the removal process cannot be overemphasised. Superior courts have jurisdiction to interpret the Constitution and other laws, check whether the grounds for impeachment have been substanti- ated and the procedure for removal rightly followed while protecting the rights of persons subjected to a removal process. The Kenyan experience has shown that the impeachment processes are prone to political uncertainties and controversies, and abuses by both the respective County Assemblies and Senate. Most of the im- peachment proceedings, so far, have breached the laid down procedure and have been based on unsubstantiated charges. In certain instances, superior courts have been called upon to correct the abuse of powers by the political bodies. To what extent have the superior courts been effective in their supervisory role of checking against abuse of power in this regard? This article unpacks the sui generis (political, constitutional, and quasi-judicial) nature of the impeachment process, and demys- tifies the role of superior courts as the guardians against abuse of powers by the respective County Assemblies and the Senate.
