Dear all For those following (all Kenyans of course...) the constitutional review process, please see below. best alice -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [reformsnow] If we vote YES for the proposed Const.... Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 03:53:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Wamuyu Gatheru <wamuyulearn@yahoo.co.uk> To: alice@apc.org CC: reformsnow@lists.reformsnow.or.ke Hi all, We are still struggling to get Constitutional reform behind us. Please find attached a brief question and answer write out done by Njoki Ndungu, a COE Commissioner, breaking down some issues: how muslims pay for Christian, Hindu etc marriages, what ratification of an international treaty means, how devolution will work... *Today's Fact*: If we vote YES for the proposed Constitution no proposed legislation can be delayed for longer than one year beyond the time specified for its enactment (see the 5th schedule on legislation). For example, new law on Citizenship (dual citizenship, women passing on citizenship to spouses after 7 years, law abiding residents obtaining citizenship after 7 years...) should be in place in one year. If after 2 years this legislation is not in place, Parliament will be ordered by the High Court to enact the legislation within a specified period of time. If Parliament fails to obey this order, _Parliament will be dissolved_. regards, Wamuyu P/S Invite your networks to this mailing list (reformsnow@lists.reformsnow.or.ke) Facts on political reforms will be posted regularly.
