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.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

KAPENGURIA SEVEN

REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN. My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.   It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell. It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service. Such isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur. Radicali...

WHY IEBC MUST NOT RENEGE ON THE 48,000 VOTERS.

WHY IEBC SHOULD NOT RENEGE ON ELECTION RULES. Wafula   Chebukati, must be the most troubled man, sitting on such a hot seat that is the IEBC chair. I am intrigued by his meeting with the presidential aspirants yesterday and how the contenders are pushing him over the cliff to waver on laid down rules concerning presidential nominations. I don’t find any reason why a country like Kenya should register such a huge number of aspirants for the post of president. It is preposterous and laughable for IEBC to waste resources including all these twenty aspirants in the ballot paper. Even if having such an astronomical number of aspirants does not affect the cost of the ballot paper, it will definitely create a huge impact on the final tally of the presidential votes.   It will lead to lots of spoilt votes. The vast list of contenders will lead to confusion especially on illiterate and semi illiterate voters who have nobody to help them vote their preferred candidate. There...
