Nominations: Const. Implementation

President Mwai Kibaki's decision to name four new top judicial officers including a new chief justice and a new attorney general has elicited strong reactions from different quarters and kicked up a storm in the grand coalition government. Prime Minister Raila Odinga has claimed that the required level of consultation between him and Kibaki never took place and insisted the president's move has inevitably triggered a constitutional crisis. However, legal experts hold varying opinions on the matter but most agree that the stalemate will best be addressed through parliament. Abdi Osman with the details.

With UNdue respect to you Mr Evans Monari you are grossly wrong on your interpretation of the wording of the law. The word 'MAY' as is universally applied in constitutions or even in general language doesn't not also mean 'MAY NOT'. The spirit behind 'consultation' between PM and president expressly mean there must be agreement or concurrence. Monari may be representing Ruto and/Uhuri hence his lopsided interpretation of the wording in our constitution. What a pity! African lawyer is shameless.
