WHICH WAY IEBC ; WILL SUPREME COURT NULLIFY THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
T here is no iota of doubt that , the ship , MV IEBC is sinking or to put it well , it has already sank. The Captains are blaming one another for that mishap. The commissioners , Chair Wafula Chebukati , Vice Chair Cherera , CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan , Prof Guliye , Mr Nyagaya , Mrs Masit and a Mr Wanderi are the people who Kenyans have been looking upon to deliver a free , fair and credible elections. Walianza na roho (started with the spirit) on August 9th but finally , wamemalizia na mwili (finished the journey with their flesh). The Supreme Court ruling of the 2027 ordered IEBC to menbd alot of issues in itself so that in future it will end up providing a free, fair and credible elections. Infact before this year's general elections , the CJ Martha Koome and the Supreme Court pronounced itself very clearly that , IEBC should keep the Court's ruling of 2017 close to its chest.
When an electoral Commission is not united when discharging very serious and coveted constitution duties like a general election , what does that mean? In 2017 , the commissioners were reading from different scripts and at the same time , Chebukati was still the chair. They say that , a lightning dies not strike same place twice twice but it has occurred again in this defunct electoral body. Commissioners who are supposed to be impartial are now highly compromised and they are here telling us that , using taxpayers monies they will deliver a credible election. So far , commission has used more than 40 Billion and in the end tail , all what we are seeing as Kenyans are commissioners who are enjoying taxpayers largesse trading in accusations and counter accusations on who bangled the whole electoral process and who didn't. The issue of putting forms 34 As in the commission's portal for the media, political parties , the elections observers and candidates themselves and their agents to download isn't enough to convince me that , the process wasn't bangled. Kenyans this time round were waiting for a fair process. Am ain't saying that the entire process wasn't free and fair but a big portion of it was like that. I found myself downloading some of this forms 34 As and I was baffled to see how some electoral officials in the polling stations altered them in a big way. The question, is that the way they were trained to do?
Just like the former Chief Justice David Maraga said back in 2017 that , an election is not an EVENT but a PROCESS. If the process was bangled and the 2017 Supreme Court ruling and orders to IEBC were ignored , the apex court will not feel shy to nullify this year's presidential election victory of President elect William Samoei Ruto. As a Country , we much be respecting the laws and rules and norms we set up whether they are favouring us or not. That's the only way of creating a just society. We can't be praising the judges and the Courts only when they lend favourable rulings for us and especially the political elites. It is something that the apex Court will want to be convinced as to how , in an election where , six of them takes place at ago , the number of people who voted for the president are more than those who voted for the other elective seats? What's shocking , even the other five elective seats , they aren't uniform? Isn't that an election offence? How can you convince me that , the whole process wasn't bangled? Also in the Kenya Integrated Elections Management System (KIEMS) , in some regions , it was registering a low figure of validated voters but the ballot casted are even more. How can they be explained? Was it a miracle? From the word go , there is more than meets the eye. No wonder some quarters even after the High Court gave a clean bill of health for IEBC to use the manual register , they immediately moved to the Court of Appeal to oppose that move and their wish was granted. It seems it was a well orchestrated scheme but in due course , everything will come to the surface.
