The Contested Empowerment of Kenya's Judiciary, 2010-2015: A Historical Institutional Analysis
No Customer Reviews
This book examines and explains the emergence of an independent judiciary in Kenya from 2010 to 2016. It argues that although this empowerment was built on a foundation of an over-two decade constitutional review process, violence following the 2007 General Elections and the 2010 Constitution that followed were an immediate explanation. The book traces the emergence of constitutional supremacy and the backlash the new-found power of judicial review faced from Parliament and the Executive. It traces the ongoing transformation of judicial review through institutional reforms in the judiciary, the vetting of judges and magistrates as well as doctrinal developments in judicial review of the political branches as well as in international law as a source of Kenyan law.
