The Great Debate : Prof. Githu Muigai vs Dr. Willy Mutunga at the University of Nairobi, School of Law, Parklands

[@kevinowino3143]

There is but one man to look up to in this debate... Prof. Githu Muigai... You, Sir, are the reason I went to law school. A master at articulation! Advocacy at it's best!

[@muhuradedan]

Prof Githu is real teacher. I have no background in law but I totally understand hi argument very clearly. I remember his submission at the Hague. He was excellent and very eloquent.

[@Ella-hu6ds]

What a beautiful thing to see experts/veterans engage young people in intellectual discourse like this. I'm not a lawyer but I can appreciate this. You never get see this in this country.

[@evansokeyo5616]

prof githu muigai argues in the most acceptable way...i always like his wisdom

[@billyabysingh]

Prof muigai is an intellect....ur coherence sums it all

[@KibetEKirui]

Prof. Muigai stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night!!

[@MrMuraya]

I can listen to Prof. Githu Muigai all day.

[@jonahondieki8978]

Prof. Githu Muigai and former CJ Willy Mutunga are great sons of Kenya. What a refreshing debate.

[@kelvinthiongo2504]

Who else viewed Muigai's parts only and skipped Mutunga's Parts, the later is boring like some lecturers do

[@davidosiemonyangau1884]

I am here 😂😂 I was only interested in Prof Githu's sentiments...very interesting and educative 💪💪. To mutunga I only here, "you know...aaah..you know " very boring from him. 😯😯😂😂😂

[@paulmaina6709]

Kumbe am not alone

[@eddyishmael5082]

[@The_Conquest]

I'll always be excited to a attend Prof Githu Muigai's class if I was his student. Brilliant Teacher

[@bonnybonny8337]

Being Loud does not mean you know the Law. These two gentlemen are really great.

[@vancewekesa9888]

The debate was robust, a share of the country's, continent's and world's best legal minds. An understanding of the Kenyan jurisprudence as by practice on the bench in Constitutional interpretation. Thank you Chief Justice (Emeritus), thank you Attorney General (Emeritus)

[@batejerezadominic6805]

These are very brilliant minds, am deeply humbled.

[@KamothoPatrick]

This is brilliant,for once i am listening to this discussion on you tube instead of ussual stuff of comics on viusasa or football.I am happy by the presentation we really need more discussions and deliberations.Thank You,from Baraza La Taifa with love.

[@motachikalerwa7451]

Prof Githu Muigai is one eloquent man and Dr mutunga though brillinat lost this one due to lack of cohherence! in my opinion. Now give us Prof Githu Muigai VS Dr Otiende Amollo. This will be a quite something interesting.

[@richardbwanika1579]

A splendid and informative environ this debate. I also share your query on the whereabouts of the brilliance that is Amollo!!!

[@kwamesagisore7612]

Only a professor can deny knowledge of advanced words and their meanings and make the person that uses them appear unlearned.

[@simongitau3991]

Githu muigai is very wise and smart very learned , not some jokers we have in Kenya , who think they know the law

[@robertmburu8605]

Pro. Muigai displays exceptional intellectual ability with great universality in genres, typically to a degree that can be associated with the achievement of new advances in any domain of knowledge.

[@franciskenyeru6837]

Professor Gitu was my jurisprudence law lecturer at uon. Great intellect

[@jacobpiper194]

AG. GM's line of thought is spot on. My take form GM's arguments - it is down to a combination of prudence, progressive transformation and being pragmatic whilst shunning away from wishful thinking, over excitement and the textual approach to the interpretation of the constitution.

[@eliudketa9552]

I never get enough of this debate

[@AbabuToyota]

A great debate. We should be seeing, watching and having more of such debates. ALL Kenyan Universities should pursue this line!

[@mlemeluk]

A great debate. Surgical review of the Constitution as to whether we have a theory of interpretation or not in implementing it. "Doctrinal' is a theory 'Purposeful ' is an approach! To quote Prof Githu.

This is what university was about. Debate is a great platform for intellectual growth

[@samnjagi8573]

as always Prof. Githu Muigai was on point, articulating complex constitutional matters in a way that a non-lawyer could understand.

I don't think so, but respect your opinion. He can't even pronounce the term constitution....he says condition☺️😊☺️😛

[@pn2074]

**constion

[@vancewekesa9888]

I agree he articulates well. He is gifted and well learned. However the debate was btn living law and theory. Which one you take is upto you

[@samnjagi8573]

@@pn2074 , well you cannot discredit his articulation on the basis of failure to pronounce a single word, more so given that he has probably mentioned the word constitution his entire lifetime. i still hold my position, he is a great legal scholar.

[@jimmypeter5667]

Both! Prof Githu and Dr Mutunga are intellect. But Githu seems to be more articulate and eloquent maybe due to his legal professional application in teaching! This debate to me is one of the best Deliverances ever recorded! Similar debates deserve to be held on for public acknowledgement! A job well done!

[@simongitau825]

This two guys are a treasure of knowledge and experience......maraga and team should emulate

[@kinyuapeterson8681]

That's why I love "POETRY' I beg to support. I love this debate.

[@sylvestermumo954]

Cj Mutunga is one of those genius who's ain't eloquent and fluent but he will give an answer in sentence and silence the whole essay of the other

[@stephenomondiokoth3233]

Very refreshing debate here. It takes us forward to a situation where universities are leading in promoting a culture for decent dialogue. It takes me many steps forward in understanding Constitution and Law as foundations for Sustainable Development.

[@Baqbaq_badhanaa]

It's very apparent Willy Mutunga cannot express himself well despite having immense knowledge and great Ideas. Public speaking and oratory skills are God given talent that cannot be acquired or taught anywhere in this world.

[@haronmwangi4038]

Prof you are right. We have no theory of constitutional interpretation in our constitution. No philosophy, believe etc contexualised from our history and experience underlines our constitution. I agree that it was a reactionary as opposed to a living document.

[@solusterlimited7533]

With all due respect for this intelligent educated two people of our own I hereby raise my own question did you leave the judiciary and the arm of the law in a better position than you found it

[@nziokadan2316]

Great minds indeed imparting knowledge, skills, experience and wisdom

[@nathanrochary9929]

Hahaha...i wasnt going to comment...but many people are only seeing coherence to the detriment of substance....CJ Mutunga is brilliant...and so is Muigai....a person who has appreciated CJ's gifted scribbling hand would attest to it.

[@stevemwaniki811]

Somebody mentioned something to do with local tribunals. Can any of them comment on the same because I believe that is a Very important issue, beyond the theory of the law. Somebody said that the law is an ass, please explain. I believe that the law is not always fair and I can elaborate if I were to be requested to explain my position.

[@dancankabasa9935]

Prof Githu is too eloquent yet a conservative yet I trust our constitutions is progressive, Githu needs to debate Dr Otiende Amollo.

[@simeonnyachae3090]

For purposes of argument, this debate should've been between Githu Muigai and PLO Lumumba.

[@gilbertkipchirchir9359]

Githu and PLO have a closely similar view

[@godwinwamonene4811]

simeon nyachae 100%

[@onyangoonyango5611]

I do find PLO to be very eloquent, but technically shallow. He's a preacher kind of person

[@stephenewankara1772]

I wished the debate would have been between Prof Githu vs Prof PLO Lumumba

[@gichuhinjogu1496]

The brilliance of Githu is astounding,well spoken.

[@gorodabdi]

Great debate indeed . Although I tend to think the threshold of 50% + 1 was to advance that every vote (including minorities) counts unlike in the past. At least it recognizes broader appeal and effort in the first round. Broader base to accommodate national leaders is legitimately a different issue and quite relevant given the outcome so far. But how far will that proposition go if the progressive values in the constitution were entrenched properly. An audit , also arising from the experience of a different political leadership, may establish and inform a change to the supreme law.

[@edmundoyiera9595]

I respect both legal minds and their views regarding our contitution. However, Prof Githu Muigai's presentation skills that hit differently and right - regardless of whether you have studied law or not! This is making law accessible to other technocrats and the layperson.

can we av a similar debate in place to be proff Githu and Proff lumumba. over to you the moderater

Infact I admire prof Githu arguments, it reminds me of Ogola a lecturer who took us through commercial law then. He said the constitution is the skeleton and statutes are flesh.
