COURT’S REASONS FOR DECLARING KADHIS’ COURTS ILLEGAL By Njeri Githang’a Kamau, Advocate “the provisions touching fundamental rights have to be interpreted in a broad and liberal manner, thereby jealously protecting and developing the dimensions of those rights and ensuring that people enjoy their rights." Jesse Kamau & 25 others v Attorney General [2010] eKLR The High Court decision that declared section 66 of the Constitution inconsistent with section 82 of the Constitution followed an application filed by 24 clergy persons from various religious institutions in 2004. The three Judge bench declared the section which entrenches Kadhis’ courts to be discriminatory to the applicants. The suit was filed against the Attorney General and the now defunct Constitution of Kenya Review Commission in 2004 challenging the proposal to include the Kadhis’ Courts in the then Bomas Draft Constitution. The applicants sought several orders, among them a declaration that Section 66 of the Constitution of Kenya which introduced and entrenched Kadhis’ Courts in the Constitution infringed on the constitutional rights of the applicants to equal protection of the law embodied in Sections, 70, 78, 79, 80 and 82 of the Constitution and to that extent it was discriminatory, unconstitutional and ought to be expunged in its entirety from the said Constitution. It was their case that the financial maintenance and support of the Kadhis’ Courts from public coffers amounted to segregation and was unjust as against the applicants and others and amounted to separate development of one religion and religious practice and therefore unconstitutional. It was also the applicants’ case that the purported extension of the jurisdiction of the Kadhis’ Courts through the enactment of the Kadhis’ Courts Act from the former Protectorate to areas falling outside the Protectorate contravened the Constitution and was null and void. The Hindu Council of Kenya were served by the applicants, and in turn the council expressed its views and concerns. The council opined that no single religion should be mentioned in the Constitution in order to maintain its neutrality. The incorporation of religious courts for all major religions to deal with personal law relating to marriage, divorce and inheritance was recommended. Whereas they were not opposed to confirmation of Kadhis’ courts, it was their view that Kadhis’ Courts with limited jurisdiction as stipulated in the 1963 Constitution should be accommodated outside the intended new Constitution. Considering the importance of the matter before it, the court also ordered service of the application on the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) but it declined to participate in the proceedings. The second respondent, the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) having been wound-up took no part at the hearing of the application. At the hearing, the Attorney General argued that the court had no jurisdiction to declare section 66 or any other section of the Constitution unconstitutional. On the basis of section 3 of the Constitution, the court only had jurisdiction to strike out a law other than a provision of the Constitution. It was submitted that section 66 of the Constitution was an existing provision and could not be struck out as being contrary to Section 3 of the Constitution as no provision of the Constitution was superior or inferior to any other provision of the constitution and that an order of the court nullifying any provision of the Constitution would itself be unconstitutional. The secondargument was that the application itself was an infringement of the doctrine of separation of powers as envisaged under section 23 and 24 of the Constitution and unlike that doctrine, the doctrine of a secular state was not clearly defined in the Constitution. It was submitted that Sections 46 – 49 establish and empower the legislature to make laws through bills passed by the National Assembly and assented to by the President. Section 47 of the Constitution provided for the alteration of the Constitution, and that Section 66 thereof could only be altered in the manner so prescribed. It was further argued that the judicature itself was a creature of the Constitution and it had no power itself to alter any entrenched or other provision of the Constitution. The issue of the Kadhis’ Court was an issue beyond the courts or judicial determination and the courts had no basis on which to answer the question whether or not it was right to entrench the Kadhis’ Courts in the Constitution. After considering the arguments, the court held that it had the jurisdiction to declare conflict or inconsistency in the constitutional provisions, or to declare whether or not the provisions were in conflict with any values, principles or purposes of a democratic constitution such as Kenya’s. In addition, the court found that the general and overarching principle of constitutional law as entrenched in Section 70 of our Bill of Rights (Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of the Individual) was that personal law of one community religious or otherwise could not override or qualify the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The doctrine of separation of church and state provided that as between the state and religion each had its own sphere, the former of law making for the public good, and the latter moral welfare of individuals and their God or creator. Religious courts forming part of the Judiciary in the Constitution offended the doctrine of separation of state and religion. On the issue of jurisdiction of the Kadhis’ Courts, it was observed that the language in the Constitution that the Kadhis’ courts were clearly restricted to operate within the former Protectorate which by definition extended to the ten miles beyond the Indian Ocean shoreline. For the Kadhis’ Courts Act, though well intentioned, to purport to extend the jurisdiction of Kadhis’ Courts beyond the former Protectorate was clearly in breach of Section 179 (4) of the Independence, that is, Section 66(4) of the current Constitution. In exercise of its declaratory jurisdiction under Section 3 of the Constitution the court found and held that Section 4(2) (b) of the Kadhis’ Courts Act was inconsistent with section 66(4) of the Constitution and was therefore void to the extent of the inconsistency. As regards Acts of Parliament, the court had a clear mandate to quash provisions which were inconsistent with the Constitution and to declare null and void and hence section 4 of the Kadhis’ Courts Act was declared null and void. It was further held that Section 66 of the Constitution on Kadhis’ courts was inconsistent with the secular nature of the state. The section did not advance the values which characterized a secular state. Funding of Kadhis’ Courts was also wrong as it had the effect of furthering one faith as against the others. The Court noted that the real anchor of freedom of worship and conscience in Kenya was not Section 66 of the Constitution but Section 78, and for that reason, Section 66 was superfluous and did not add or offer any additional rights not covered by section 78 which applied to all faiths in Kenya. Section 66 was also in conflict with section 65 of the Constitution which contemplated subordinate courts of universal application in the Republic of Kenya. The entrenchment of the Kadhis’ courts in the Constitution elevated and uplifted the Islamic religion over and above the other religions in Kenya which was inconsistent with section 78 and 82 of the Constitution and discriminatory in its effect against the applicants and Kenyans of other religions. While declaring section 66 of the Constitution inconsistent with section 82, the Court affirmed that its role was declaratory only and it was only Parliament under section 47 of the constitution which could alter or amend section 66 of the Constitution or the people in a referendum. The court would not have a role in the alteration of Section 66 of the Constitution or any other section of the Constitution. The process of altering Section 66 of the Constitution or indeed any other provision of the Constitution lied in the National Assembly (Parliament which enacts the law and the President who assents to the law). Whereas an amendment could be challenged in court once enacted into law, only Parliament had the necessary legislative mandate to alter the provision by way of amendment provided the provisions of section 47 on amendments were satisfied. The applicants’ prayer to declare Section 66 of the Constitution void was therefore untenable and was declined. |
