The confusion of religious stuff being included in the new (and current) constitutions further creates more confusion and founded/un-founded fears. And that brings in the constitution arguments because the mechanisms to deal with these issues (as you rightfully said) are in the law.<br><br><div> </div><br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 4/27/10, Andrea Bohnstedt <i><andrea.bohnstedt@ratio-magazine.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Andrea Bohnstedt <andrea.bohnstedt@ratio-magazine.com><br>Subject: Re: [kictanet] Red Card for the Sheikhs<br>To: "wesley kirinya" <kiriinya2000@yahoo.com><br>Cc:

<br>Did I miss some news?<br><br>I thought what I happened in North Eastern (Mandera) to be specific was a<br>decree that even the Kenyan chief's proclaim from time to time in<br>"Christian" Kenya. When this happens it affects both
Christian and Muslim<br>youth alike.<br><br>I am bound to be corrected but this is happening not under the new<br>Constitution but the current one and so my question is what has it got to do<br>with the new constitution? What has it got to do with the Kadhi's courts or<br>
