President Mwai Kibaki has assented to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2008, setting into motion the realisation of a new constitution and effectively disbanding the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK). Already a 27 member Parliamentary Select Committee has started work on the realization of a new constitution but had indicated it could not move forward without the presidential signature on the Bill. The recruitment of a panel of experts to guide the process is expected to kick off soon.
The PSC is also expected to appoint commissioners to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission and the Independent Boundary Review Commission which will guide the electoral reforms in the country. It is expected that the new law will be in place in a year’s time and the Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged Kenyans to be ready for a referendum on the new law next year. Simultaneously the government has sent the entire staff at the ECK on compulsory leave pending their planned redeployment to the civil service.

Seven Members of Parliament among them a minister have been sued by the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) for irregularly receiving money from the public coffers. Those who have been sued are Information Minister Samuel Phoghisio, Mwingi South MP David Musila, former MPs Joseph Kamotho, Peter Oloo Aringo, Daniel Khamasi, Justin Muturi and Parliamentary Committee on CDF chair, Ekwe Ethuro. The personalities are alleged to have received a sum of over 20 million shillings as an allowance for Parliamentary Service Holders between November 2006 and November last year. KACC argues that the allowances were paid in breach of the provisions governing the remuneration of MPs and Members of Parliamentary Service Commissions. The anti graft body claims that the seven improperly used their offices and wrongfully acquired public property. It is now seeking judgement against the seven from the High Court.
HIV/Aids prevalence rate in the North Rift region has risen to 7.5% this year up from 5.3% in the year 2003. According to North Rift National Aids Control Council field officer Hillary Ng’etich who spoke during this year’s world AIDS day celebrations, statistics show that ignorance amongst locals and stigmatization are the main causes of the rise in the prevalence rate.
Meanwhile Ng’etich says NACC now wants to make leaders accountable to promises they have made to Kenyans. The NACC North Rift field officer adds that leaders have for years made promises to Kenyans but failed to fulfill them saying the norm has to be stopped. Ng’etich has revealed that institutions running Orphans and Vulnerable Children programmes (OVC’s) should write proposals and forward them to NACC for the release of funds to cater for their operations. This year’s theme was lead, empower, deliver.

As the world marks the world Aids day it is evident that there are still cases of stigmatization towards those infected with the HIV virus. In the local African communities the victims are even neglected by their immediate families having no association at all. However they have chosen to live positively despite the stigma and are now calling on everyone to be tested to know their HIV status. It is not compulsory that when one gets tested and found with the HIV virus they are straight away introduced to the Anti retroviral drugs
