The Commission of the implementation of the Constitution CIC
wants national assembly to respect the judiciary. Commission for the
Implementation of the Constitution Chairman Charles Nyachae has sharply
criticized National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi over allegations that the
National Assembly cannot respect orders from Judiciary. Last week, the speaker
said that the National Assembly has an oversight role over all state organs
without exception as stipulated under article 95 of the Constitution. Mr. Nyachae
cited that the country could be heading towards anarchy if parliament will not
respect orders by the court that barred the appearance of Judiciary Service
Commissioners before a parliamentary committee after a summon. Mr. Nyachae who
was speaking at Nawoitorong Women Center in Lodwar town during a meeting with
Governor Josphat Nanok, Deputy Governor
Peter Lokoel, county executive committee members, county secretary, County Public
Service Board, Chief Officers, Directors and head of departments. He maintained
that Mr. Muturi got it wrong when he said that parliament will not respect
orders by the court. Commenting on a new move by the Embu County Assembly to
impeach Governor Martin Wambora, Mr. Nyachae said that it is right for area
residents’ representatives but should have viable grounds to that effect. The
CIC boss who was accompanied by three commissioners; Prof. Peter Wanyande, Dr.
Florence Omosa, and Ms. Catherine Mumma warned that the Constitution is supreme
than anybody else including the National Assembly reiterating that for a
looming crisis will be fueled by those disregarding it. At the same time, he
said all the 47 counties are in Kenya and everyone must feel part of Kenya even
if it means flying the National flag. Turkana County Governor Mr.
Nanok said that if county chiefs are barred from flying national flags a division
between county and national government will be created.
