NOW... Here comes the Chief Justice Gicheru,...and the smiling Attorney General Amos Wako.In yesterday's Daily Nation, the two are reported to have said in a seminar (@ Mombasa) that they would only go according to the law.[/i][/b] In the same report, Justice Gicheru who is expected to go not later than February 2011 — six months after promulgation of the new Constitution (Wako's should be August 2011) - is quoted asking Parliament to enact laws to ensure no vacuum exists once the process of Judicial vetting starts. What is he alluding to?Besides, he argued that he wasn't having any sleepless nights and stressed that vetting must be done legally. What does he know that we don't regarding the upcoming vetting process? When Gicheru said this; (quoting verbatim) “We are not worried about this issue of vetting and we are not going to have sleepless nights. We shall deal with the problem when it comes, but what I must insist is that the process must be carried out transparently and in accordance with the law,” he said. It makes me wonder what the heck he's talking about. For lack of time, I haven't gone back to research what the constitution says about the process - anyone willing to help with that? What does the constitution say about his departure (& that of the AG)? Will parliament have to FIRST make new laws before the 6 months (for CJ, & 1 year for AG) before the process of cleaning the Judiciary starts?Are we having a case of Judiciary anti-reformists playing the belligerence/impunity card even before the constitution ink has dried? or am I missing something? |

To all those who love to scream...'we are being finished' or yaaawn whenever flashed with questions of impropriety...please scream or yawn!!!! Justice Jeanne Gacheche who’s been previously rejected by lawyers at various court stations - Eldoret, Kisii, Meru and Nakuru - has issued an order prohibiting IIBRC’s publication of 80 new constituencies at the behest of a couple of MPs. I guess she doesn’t heck give a damn about the impending vetting of the Judiciary. Probably she anticipates she can’t cut it for the new bench set to be created by the new constitution. These Judges who were appointed under very dubious circumstances in the first place, never disappoint when it comes to subverting Justice – at the behest of the executive. How did Justice Jeanne Gacheche land on the Judicial bench?
Read this Moi-era Africa Review report.Minister for Trade and Industry Nicholas Biwott, a top aide to President Daniel arap Moi, won a court injunction blocking The Daily Nation from publishing excerpts of Rogue Ambassador, the memoirs of former U.S. ambassador to Kenya Smith Hempstone.
In the book, Hempstone alleges that President Daniel arap Moi personally ordered the murder of then-foreign minister Robert Ouko, beat him, and then watched as Biwott shot Ouko. On July 30, Moi and Biwott sued Hempstone for libel and sought to stop the publication, distribution, and sale of the book or any material that refers to the Ouko murder allegations.
Initially, Moi had threatened The Daily Nation following a full-page advertisement in the August 20 edition of the paper that read in part: "President Moi and Minister Nicholas Biwott want the High Court to stop its sale. What does it contain? How much does it reveal about the country's most powerful politicians and government?" However, only Biwott filed a case against the paper.
Biwott's lawyers won the injunction, and, although the paper had already published some brief quotes from the book in which Hempstone calls Moi "ruthless, short-tempered, arrogant and self-promoting," the editors said they would comply with the ruling.
On September 4, 2001, a high court in Nairobi extended an interim injunction restraining Text Book Centre from further distributing the book. Commissioner of Assize Jeanne Gacheche also blocked the bookseller's agents and servants from further circulating or selling copies of the book.
The court also extended an order barring the Nation Media Group from publishing parts of the book in The Daily Nation. The case was still pending at year's end.
Exactly one month later, on October 4, 2001, President Moi appointed Jeanne Gacheche a Judge of the High Court of Kenya. Meet the Hon. Justice Jeanne Wanjiku Gacheche.Her career has been highlighted by:• Rejected (on grounds of conduct) by lawyers in Eldoret, Kisii, Meru and Nakuru – Chief Justice Gicheru eventually stationed her in Nairobi• Promoted to fill in the shoes of Justice Nyamu as the second head of the Gicheru-created, Constitutional and Judicial Review Division of the High Court – which has proved to be the single biggest impediment to prosecution of mega corruption in Kenya. It is this division that cites ‘constitutional rights’ to prevent the likes of Chris Murungaru and other Anglo-Fleecers from being investigated by KACC or prosecuted in courts. • Assigned perennially, alongside Justices Nyamu, Wendoh and Njagi, to handle high-stake cases sensitive to the executive (PNU) arm of government – with very predictable outcomes. Case point – the current IIBRC case. • Ruled perennially in favour of big corporation lawyers – occasionally ordering huge corporate payouts, such as this (below) where taxpayers were ordered to pay big bucks to Total (K) www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate%20News/Energy%20PS%20to%20pay%20Total%20Kenya%20Sh700000/-/539550/1040218/-/p8vuvpz/-/index.htmlWhat are some of her significant (& specific) rulings suggesting she may soon have little interest in undergoing vetting?• Pre-emptive stoppage of publication of 80 constitutionally created constituencies for Kenya• In a case where a scrupulous insurance company (Directline Assurance Company) refused to compensate 659 accident victims over Sh 300 million for emergency medical treatment (& upkeep money for orphaned children), even before the insurer’s lawyer responded, Justice Gacheche adjourned the case without being asked by the Insurer's lawyer, giving the company unsolicited reprieve while victims continue suffering no treatment and help. Paul Muite, representing the victims said of the ruling ‘ this is strange jurisprudence and a precedent hitherto unknown in this country’. Victims are now petitioning the Chief Justice to reassign the case, citing the Judge’s very suspicious conduct. www.nation.co.ke/News/Protest%20 ... index.html • While sitting in Eldoret, Justice Gacheche issued an order at night to the Nairobi-based directors of Charter House Bank, to enter the bank building that had earlier been sealed by police pending collection of evidence. By morning, the Shah family were confident there would be no case against the Bank. Some MPs, the AG, Police and even Treasury, now want the bank reopened (claiming ‘no evidence of wrong-doing’) despite US and EU veiled threats at terminating banking transactions with all Kenyan banks. The US and EU, with deep interest in stopping money laundering will be closely watching whether Justice Gacheche will boldly submit herself for vetting.• Justice Gacheche stopped AG Amos Wako and KACC from filing criminal charges for a Sh 41 million fraud case against Naivasha MP John Mututho based on - your guess is right - ‘constitutional rights’. The yawning crew can now chime in with their marvelous contributions. |

Job
Great scoop on this mafiya hireling, whose powers were accentuated following 'radical surgery'.
I hope her tenure will come to a screeching halt when Judges are re-vetted
How about impeaching her in the legico kwani she cant be ousted via parliamentary mechanism or its only the sloth who can call a tribunal?.
Man are we screwed or what?

job,
Many thanks. Justice Nyamu will be history when the vetting starts. The beautiful thing is that in the vetting process ordinary citizens will be allowed to provide any incriminating information they have about individual judges. Justice Nyamu stands no chance.
And now we have this nutcase Gacheche. It is nice to have her whole background. She should start looking for another job and someone should tell her that the big boys use and dispose. Nobody is going to cover her back. She is gonzo. Bure kabisa.
adongo
