Omtata Challenges Letter Appointing Mwilu Acting Chief Justice

By:Peace Benshazy

    The human rights activist Okiya Omtatah challenged the outgoing chief justice David Maraga's letter of appoitment giving authority to his deputy Philomena Mwilu to take over as he retires.

      Omtata who filed a case last week seeking to stop Mwilu from acting as Cj now says Maraga has no powers to appoint his deputy.

        The activist wants the court to suspend the appointment of Mwilu. The Cj is expected to return to office by  11th of January after his leave. Maraga will hand over power to Mwilu to act as Cj for a period not exceedding 6 months as per the constitution. However,Omtata had dismissed the letter claiming that Maraga has no powers to appoint his deputy as the acting Cj.

      "The letter is unconstittutional for creating the position of an acting Cj,a position not contempleted by the constitution,"cited Omtata. According to the court documents,there is no privision in the constitution for the DCJ or any other person to act as Chief Justice.

      omtata also argues that there cannot be an acting CJ because the constitution only recognises the Chief Justice.

Peace Benshazy

Have a desire to start your own music production company? You should know that producing music requires long hours of hard work, and starting your own music production company requires extreme dedication and meticulous planning.

These 8 simple but important steps can help you in starting your own production company.

1. Learn about your business and build your skills 
You do not need formal education in music or business for this business, but you need to develop the relevant skills. Try to learn more about this business by reading articles and referring music insider websites.

​Getting a degree in music production, sound engineering or recording or seeking an internship at a professional recording studio can help you advance your learning. 

2. Get the right equipment 
You should be able to make music from your own home. If you lack funds for creating a professional quality studio, you will have to arrange basic equipment like computer or laptop with audio software. But for recording with live instruments, additional recording equipment is required. 

3. Choose an appropriate space for your home studio 
You do not need an office space for getting started. You can begin music production from your own home. For this, you just need a space in your home which is free from distractions. Basement can be a good option as it helps dampen sound and can be easily soundproofed. 

4. Choose a unique name for your company 
You need to choose a unique name for your music production company and then file a DBA (doing business as) form for it. You may also need to file additional paperwork and tax forms depending on the state you reside in. 

5. Get published marketing materials 
Marketing your new production skills is important for your success. You should market yourself both locally and online. You can get published personalized business cards, pamphlets, flyers, posters and other marketing materials for marketing yourself. 

6. Create a website
For the online marketing of your music, you need to have your own website. You can avail one of the less costly website building options for it. Affordable hosting plans offering a free domain name are also available. WordPress enables you to build your own personalized website without any experience in website designing.

7. Start producing your own music 
Begin with producing your own music. After creating your own tracks, you can upload them on SoundCloud or YouTube as samples of work for local and regional recording artists. 

8. Build contacts with local artists
Work towards having an active presence on the local music scene. Try to build contacts with the local artists having similar tastes and style. To work together with them, you need to negotiate terms with them and sign a production contract with them.
