Grounds for Impeachment: The sources specify several grounds for impeachment, including gross violation of the Constitution or any other law, commission of a crime under national or international law, gross misconduct, incompetence, abuse of office, physical or mental incapacity.

Initiation of Proceedings: The impeachment process is initiated by a motion submitted to the Speaker of the relevant assembly (National Assembly or county assembly), supported by a specified proportion of members. The required proportion varies depending on the office:

• President: At least one-third of all members of the National Assembly.
• Cabinet Secretary: At least one-quarter of all members of the National Assembly for proposing a motion to the President; at least one-third of the members to appoint a select committee for investigation.
• Governor: At least one-third of all members of the county assembly.
• County Executive Committee Member: At least one-third of all members of the county assembly.

Investigation: After the motion is approved, an investigative committee is usually formed to examine the allegations. This committee may comprise:

• Eleven members of the Senate for Presidential impeachment.
• Eleven members of the National Assembly for Cabinet Secretary impeachment.
• Not more than eleven members of the Senate for Governor impeachment.
• Not more than nine members of the county assembly for County Executive Committee member impeachment.
• The accused official has the right to appear and be represented during these investigations.

Decision-Making: The relevant assembly votes on the impeachment charges based on the findings of the investigative committee. The required threshold for successful impeachment also varies by office:

• President: At least two-thirds of all members of the National Assembly to initiate proceedings in the Senate; at least two-thirds of all members of the Senate to remove the President.
• Cabinet Secretary: A simple majority of the National Assembly to pass a resolution requiring dismissal, which is then submitted to the President.
• Governor: At least two-thirds of all members of the county assembly to send the motion to the Senate; a majority of the county delegations of the Senate to remove the Governor.
• County Executive Committee Member: A simple majority of the members of the county assembly to pass a resolution requiring dismissal, which is then submitted to the Governor.

Judicial Review: The sources provide for the possibility of applying to the High Court for review of the Senate's decision in the case of Governor impeachment. There is also a general provision allowing for a move to the High Court for review within 14 days of a final decision on impeachment for any office, unless stated otherwise.

We are back after a slight break. In this 30th episode, we look at this process of having an idea and bringing another person on board, devaluing them, and once they have served their purpose in our grand scheme discarding them. Also what ripple effect has it had on our politics especially the ongoing campaigns? We also look at some of the recent major happenings that occurred during our hiatus including -

• The party primaries.
• What's next for the BBI.
• Former President Mwai Kibaki's Legacy.
• Are we still voting and other topics.

We have a checklist for what we look for in an individual who is eyeing this seat. Not only does this episode feature future talks of the individual who will occupy this seat after next year's general election but also we look at how our current president has faired - what roles and responsibilities has he been able to do and which he hasn't.

A Side Note - To get a breakdown of the roles of the deputy president and our thoughts regarding that particular seat at length listen to Episode 16.

If we do not find a better way to manage our diversity, particularly in the competition for power, then it will be our collective ruin. Even those who benefit from dividing us along ethnic lines will lose, and their children, and children’s children, will lose when this mode of competition runs out of room, as it eventually will.

Tribalism as a form of competition and antagonism does not just belong to ethnic groups, there are different forms of tribal attachment that are equally, if not more, destructive. What matters is the amount of cultural, social and political innovation that a country can produce to build itself structures that minimise group antagonism. 

The two leaders respect one another. They have been competitors and even used hard language at times, but they have always been friends and respected one another. They respect each other as individuals and as leaders,. They respect each other's communities. They respect Kenyans, and they respect our nation. Every single Kenyan knows and needs respect. Respect should not mean that we tolerate what is wrong. However, the two leaders want to say to all Kenyans: the sins of individuals should not be visited on groups. We must reject and censure anyone who conducts themselves in a negative and hateful way.

Build and strengthen the ties that bind us — The Taskforce also recommends that throughout their education, and in sustained civic education for non-students, Kenyans be exposed to — and incentivised to respect — ethnic and religious diversity, and for this principle to be reflected in the Public Service. Specifically, the measures required to implement this recommendation are as follows:

1. School curriculum should feature compulsory components on history, cultural diversity, knowledge of the major religions including traditional ones, and the relationship between the Constitution and our cultures/religions.
2. Ensure that secondary boarding schools that are publicly funded have representation from different Counties amounting to at least 50% of the student body.
3. Align the National Museums of Kenya to this mission. Promote and support inclusive cultural centres in every County.

A look at areas adversely affected by drought, floods etc… When you walk across a police officer, do you feel safe? How was your experience when reporting a crime to a police officer? Do the police act as if they care?

How did you lose your first phone? Did you report the matter to the police? What was their response? Timo and Elsie share their experiences? 

Remember the Sugar scandal, the fiasco with mercury! Do you feel safe using sugar since then?

Hey! The constitution provides free speech, do you however, feel safe when criticising people in power “politicians”? It seems that politicians found a creative way to go back to the Nyayo eras “chambers”

Police reforms is just but a songDo you feel safe in this country? Timo is put on the spot, as a boy child do you feel safe walking in town?
