Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai wants timelines introduced for the determination of court cases on government policies.<\/p>\n

Mbai said the move would tame delays in service delivery and loss of public resources.<\/p>\n

He argued that there ought to be clear timelines akin to a presidential election petition, which is determined within 14 days after it is filed at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Mbai said he is working on a Bill which he will introduce in the House when MPs return after the long recess.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolicies that are made towards serving the public should not take an eternity in the courts. We need timelines because matters are being dragged into court by two or three people. It is their democratic right but individuals should not be allowed to disadvantage the public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He cited the Finance Bill Act 2023, which faced hurdles in the court during implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Act is the one facilitating our security sector such as the police, military and even NG-CDF and capitation for our school-going children,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mbai has also proposed the establishment of a special court that will exclusively hear and determine matters on public policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people are challenging everything in the courts. It is just one fellow holding the whole country at ransom, stopping everything. Because it is their constitutional right to do so, then the determinations should only take two weeks maximum\u201d Mbai said.<\/p>\n

Mbai added that the time was ripe for the President to initiate judicial reforms to root out \u2018unfit\u2019 and \u2018corrupt\u2019 officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is enough public outcry for the President to initiate judicial reforms akin to 2003 radical surgery championed by the late president Mwai Kibaki,” Mbai said.<\/p>\n

President William Ruto has maintained that he will not keep quiet as courts put on hold his development plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you expect me to be quiet when a few people are rushing to the courts to stop plans to create job opportunities for Kenyans,\u201d he said on Sunday at a church service in Uasin Gishu.<\/p>\n
