WHY PRESIDENTIAL AND RUNNING MATES DEBATE IS A WASTE OF RESOURCES AND TIME. ELECTIONS 2017 KENYA.

The presidential debates organised by the debates Media committee is absolutely of no significance. First, the contestants have no time since they have tight campaign schedules. There is a big difference between candidates who have miniature following of less than 1% and much more popular candidates with over 40% following. There is no way they can be placed under the same platform.

secondly, the most popular candidates taking over 40% have a greater possible of winning the presidency seat and as such deserve a separate platform on which value of time can be created and in which Kenyans can have ample time to interrogate the contenders on issues.

Thirdly, Some candidates who haven't displayed any seriousness and who are not drumming up any support, have deliberately intended to hijack the platform to use it as purely a campaign tool to reach out to potential supported.

Lastly, the debate organizers did not engage the contestants on several issues regarding the nature of the debate. Although the debates provide a suitable avenue for the public to interview the contestants, the debates are rendered irrelevant by the Manifestos which display a blue print of the party agenda and ambition. Even the politicians know well that everything they will deliberate on are captured in their manifesto, campaigns and the numerous media fora they attend daily to answer to the public like, Radio, Television, Newspaper, Music and others.

ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS

WHY ELECTORAL AMENDMENTS ARE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS. I think these amendments to electoral laws are the ultimate recipe for war and violence. The laws open a legal conundrum which even lawyers cannot unlock. I see a situation in which more than one president will be announced winners if the elections are to be held. Come to think of it. If three commissioners with one acting as the chair can declare a President then the probability of Kenya declaring two presidents concurrently is more than half. It is obvious, the chairman can disappear in the like manner Chris Chege Msando disappeared. Shit do happens. If this happens and the vice assumes the powers of the chair to declare a candidate validly elected president or any other member then voila! If there is a law that will haunt the nation, it is these impromptu amendments. We can run and run from the fact of the matter; these amendments are engineered to create a conducive atmosphere and act as an incentive to rigging. After the ci

CHIEF JUSTICE IS ALSO THE HEAD OF A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE IS THE HEAD OF JUDICIARY. In the principles of separation of power, The President is not the head of government. He is the head of state. He heads one arm of the government called executive. The chief justice is the head of Judiciary (not attorney general). He is the president of the supreme Court - the highest court of the land. Then there is the Speaker, who is the head of parliament. Most of the times many have thought the attorney general heads the Judiciary but no. Attorney general's chief role is advising the president and parliament. He is an ex- officio member of parliament and also a member of the executive. He is part of the cabinet which forms the executive. Parliament, both Senate and Legislative assembly are charged with making laws. The executive implement those laws and other functions while Judiciary reserves the decision as to who has violated aIntern the laws and interpretes the law and the extent and impacts of those transgressions.

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains lots of p
