CONSTITUENCY NUMBER 292

Honestly where did this extra one constituency called, the National tallying centre come from? We have 290 plus one diaspora constituencies yes, but why are we talking about the national tallying centre being an existent constituency?

I'm not a constitutional or any other lawyer for that matter, but no doubt, the attorney general " played us here". This argument that Wafula Chebukati, IEBC chairman is the presiding officer at the national tallying centre- Bomas- constituency, was a psychological ploy. I don't want to prophesy doom, but this argument adopted by the nation is toxic.

How did he become a returning officer of an imaginary constituency? I expect somebody to help me understand this. If we assume he is the RTO for Bomas constituency, then the question that begs an answer is if that constituency is consistent with article 89 on the definition and description of what constitutes a constituency?

My concern is, through this narrative Kenyans can forget or ignorantly ignore the Judicial interpretation made by the court of appeal, the presidential votes tally from the constituency as provided by the constituency returning officer is final subject only to a Supreme court ruling.

Let's be honest, The commission chairman at the Bomas is not a returning officer. He is not counting any votes but merely tabulating. There is no voting at Bomas. His role is just announcing the results, after all I will also be doing my own tallying in my house, ha ha ha. The point is, The commission chairman will not change the results as they stream in.

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada INTRODUCTION There was neither big revolution nor dependence war in the history of Canada. The Rebellion of 1837 was the first and the only one revolt with certain scale, which occupies an important position in Canada history. In The Rising in French Canada 1837 , Joseph Schull indicates that the Rebellion of 1837 is the mirror of the conflicts among developing national and political philosophy, different life styles. It’s a test for the people and leaders of the country. There were two armed uprisings of 1837 which took place in the lower and Upper Canada respectively. In the lower Canada which was ethnically heterogeneous, comprising both the French and English colonialists; the revolt was due to political ethno-exclusivity. The colonial administration treated the two factions with discrimination. It favored the English colonialists and neglected the voices of the French colonialists. However, in the Upper Canada, t...

ELECTIONS ARE EVIL HENCE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD

THE TROUBLE WITH KENYAN ELECTIONS The current legal stalemate bedeviling the country can be attributed to reluctance on the part of Kenyan institutions to adhere to the rule of law. The chief culprit is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the government. Jubilee party has merged with the state so that the country is not ruled by the Jubilee government but by the Jubilee party. The party even controlling an independent IEBC This diabolic precedence started way back in 2013 when Jubilee, not in a free and fair manner, rigged their way to statehouse.   The Supreme Court then did not make satisfactory findings, though the petitioner accepted the verdict. Since then the party had been choreographing another rigging scheme. Although democracy entails the decision of the majority to prevail, Jubilee has taken advantage to exercise tyranny. The government rules its own way independent of the wishes of the people. Even annihilating and trampling the law more o...

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...
