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
