WHY MORE BALLOT PAPERS FOR ONLY PRESIDENTIAL POLL

WHY THE EXTRA BALLOT PAPERS COULD BE AN EVIL SCHEME.

Who else cannot understand the issue of an extra 1.2 million votes? Well for me I don't, and somebody should help me, maybe am a slow learner.

First, is it 1.2 million or 1% of 19.6 million that is 196 000? Whatever, it does not matter. Why the extra ballot papers for presidential elections only and not the other 5 positions?

The figure looks smaller especially if it spread in the over 48,000 polling stations, which could be as small as 5 votes. I don't want to bring to your attention where one single vote permanently altered elections outcomes. It happens that one vote  in many occasions has decided whoever won an election.

The court of appeal overturned judge Odungas ruling on similar grounds. Where it was found non substantive to allow Al Ghurair to print other ballot papers, apart from presidential.

Let me ask again on behalf of Justice Odunga, why more ballot papers for only presidential election and not for governorship, women rep, MP and MCA?. These extra papers will be a loophole for rigging according to me.

Everybody knows, turnout cannot be 100% in fact it hardly hits 90% so that KIEMS will not ululate of excess registered voters. These extra ballot papers were uncalled for. They can only be used in rigging.

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...
