May a stanger enter the discussion? I would at the earlest opportunity argue that Kenya is the wrong example to use. Nobody was able to vote out (not merely recall) a Kenyan President, and never will, because the Kikuyu's and Kalenjins form 60% of the population and things are done strictly on tribal grounds. Raila Odinga appears a hardworking and honourable man but even he has never dented the tribal sphinx. Come to that, if he WERE to puncture it, he would in turn solidify his tribal alliance by inviting oddlots from thr Coast and on the Tanzania border with largese. Best example for us is India and the USA: they do not have or need a recall clause. Secondly, and without prejudice to the aforesaid, I fail to understand when you lament that Parliament made id difficult to implement the recall clause. Why is this? You want every tom dick and harry to recall the MP just like that? If being an MP is kumbe so trifling, why are we debating it at all? Finally, would you ever envisage a situation whereby the people were free to recall a judge? Why oy why not?
