Mr Mwai Kibaki and his supporters have realized that the constitution is supreme and ought to be followed in resolving the current political impasse that they created.
I also agree that we ought to follow the constitution. But I have gone through our constitution and I have not come across any chapter that condones a palace coup.
I have not seen any chapter that allows a loser to hijack the process and declare himself the president.
I have not seen any chapter that allows for a president to overthrow himself, install himself and declare a police state.
I would want to follow the constitution as well, but in light of such discrepancies, I will not attempt to follow such a useless constitution, one that cannot guarantee the sovereign rights of all citizens.
I would not want to recognize a partisan constitution.

Law is cretaed for man and not man for for law, according to one, eloquent learned friend that I have admired for many years.
Secondly killing is an offence under the law of this land and also under the supreme law of God. But there are circumstances in law when a killer of a fellow human walks away with it free and clean.
Thirdly there is the law of precedence. I judgement had been passed for a previous identical offence, any arguement that contradicts the previous verdict can be judged on the strength of the previous related verdict.
PNU has been in office under extremely difficult circumstances for the large majority of Kenyan citizens both pro ODM and PNU.The international world will not blindly take sides to oppose a president that they have been working with and supported in the last five years. The lot fell on PNU moments afer Kivuitu declared Kibaki the winner, just as it was the days of Jonah and the sinking ship (Jonah 1: 6-7).
PNU overlooked this hoping it would pass on in a day or two. They treted the initial steps towards mediationwith much contempmt and even tried to ridicule Kufuor as having come merely to taste kenyan tea in statehouse.
The constitution will not stand on the Kenyan way towards restoration of justice and peace. But PNU should have no doubt that if Bomas draft constitution is subjected to a national referendum, it will be passed. Kibaki, Kimunya, Karua, etc are believing that with the recently acquired guns, 30 more police stations and more police officers, the PNU supporters recently evicted from Rift Valley can be peacefully resettled back. No mistake is greater than this. I was saddened to hear Kimunya declare that peace had been restored as we all saw women with young children sleeping in the rainy and chilly Kercho IDP camps.

Thirdly there is the law of precedence. Once judgment had been passed for a previous identical offence, any argument that contradicts the previous verdict can be redetermined on the strength of the previous related verdict.

Kibaki, Kimunya, Karua, etc believe that with the recently acquired tines of guns, 30 more police stations and thousands more police officers, the PNU supporters recently evicted from Rift Valley can be peacefully resettled back. No mistake is greater than this. I was saddened to hear Kimunya declare that peace had been restored as we all saw women with young children sleeping in the wet and chilly Kericho IDP camp in the park.
If men were angels, we wouldn’t need laws to govern and protect them. Men are fallen angels and laws are created for men.
The constitution is the only sound and solid option moving forward to grant the freedom that is essential to the future of this country.
