IEBC NOT READY FOR JUBILEE ELECTION AMENDMENTS

Roselyn Akombe yesterday expressed her fears and shock over what Senator Murkomen said legal reforms pre-repeat elections. She said if a new legal regimen is used to administer elections, they( IEBC) will be compelled to adjust their training model for IEBC staff, the result being need for more time to prepare.
Jubilee is planning to make it mandatory for votes recount in case of a dispute. This immunizes incumbent governments from culpability in case ballot stuffing is done. Remember incumbent government can collude with ballot paper printing firm to secretly print extra ballots ostensibly for rigging purposes.
They also seek to trim the powers of the IEBC Commission chair. This only means the Chairman will be subject to manipulation by the government.

Apart from these, they also intend to adopt Lady Justice Njoki's dissention that numbers represent the will of the people more than the processes producing those numbers. Literally Njoki argued that it is the number of votes in the ballot box that matter even when those ballot papers found their way into those ballot boxes by Osmosis. What a learned friend? Ha ha haaa.

Also, Jubilee wish to a mend the laws to cut down to size the powers of the Judiciary particularly Supreme court. This can be translated to mean, Supreme court will not possess the power to overturn an irregularly and illegally elected presidency. So sad the Executive arm of government using the legislature arm to usurp, a nihilate, dismember or cripple an arm of government that deals directly with the law of the land by interpreting and implementing the law.

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...
