Lawyers back Maraga, urge court send MPs home

THE STANDARD NATIONAL Former Chief Justice David Maraga [Courtesy] Under the 2010 constitution, Kenya had five years to enact laws ensuring no more than two-thirds of members of elective public bodies are of the same gender. And on Wednesday, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) argued the August House cannot escape the wrath of the law for its failure. LSK president Nelson Havi, in his submissions before a five-judge bench, was of the view that Covid-19 cannot stop the country from conducting by-elections once the President sends the MPs home. “Failure by Parliament to enact two-third gender rule invited a Constitutional penal consequence of dissolution. The significance of this penal consequence was underscored by the Court of Appeal. Covid-19 cannot be a reason why we should not dissolve parliament,” said Havi.

Maraga made big error, say MPs on gender parity

THE STANDARD POLITICS Former Chief Justice David Maraga. [Jonah Onyango, Standard] The clamor for gender parity in Parliament ought to have ended in 2015, Parliament told the High Court on Monday. The two Houses argued that the law on two-third gender rule ought to have lapsed in 2016 as Parliament gave itself one more year. On the first day of the hearing of cases challenging former Chief Justice David Maraga advice to President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve Parliament, the court heard that that the advice is not binding. Parliament’s lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi asserted that Justice Maraga was wrong for apportioning blame to the current Parliament instead its predecessor, the 11th Parliament.

Kenya has its first female chief justice: why this matters

If parliament formally approves the nomination of Justice Martha Koome as the next Chief Justice of Kenya and president of the Supreme Court, as is widely expected, she will become the first woman to occupy the seat in Kenya’s history. Justice Martha Koome topped nine other candidates – including two other women – for the job during interviews carried out by the Judicial Service Commission between 10 April and 23 April 2021. Justice Martha Koome will become the third Chief Justice under the 2010 constitution. She succeeds Chief Justice Maraga who retired on 12 January 2021 upon reaching the age of 70. Chief Justice Maraga will be remembered for his role in the Supreme Court bench that overturned President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election in 2017 over irregularities.
