Kenyan MPs suspend integrity and academic laws in March poll

By Geoffrey Mosoku and Peter Opiyo

Enforcement of strident integrity laws and academic qualification as a precondition for running in elections will not apply for the March 4 exercise as had been expected.

This is because it now turns out that Members of Parliament connived to suspend parts of the Elections Act that provided for the academic qualification, and watered down legislation meant to operationalise Chapter Six of the Constitution on leadership and integrity.

The changes MPs made were buried in the raft of alterations they passed as a package under what in parliamentary parlance is called an ‘Omnibus Bill’.

Consequently, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will not vet aspirants on integrity issues as Kenyans had demanded in the current Constitution, including delving into their past.

The commission will also not ask nominees gunning to be MPs, senators and women and county representatives for their academic qualifications. The demand that you must be armed with a university degree now only applies to those seeking to be governors.

Political parties were informed on Monday that persons seeking positions in the National and County Assemblies would not be required to provide any academic papers before being cleared to contest in the elections.

Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
