World & Kenya: Donor Funding to the Kenya Judiciary should be frozen
from: Gordon Teti
To send a message to the lords of impunity and those who aided them, like the Kenya Judiciary and the Electoral Commission (IEBC) in rigging Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency of the Republic of Kenya, the international community that finances the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), the two Western financial lending institutions should and must cut funding with immediate effect to Kenya and particularly to the Judiciary and the IEBC. The Kenya Judiciary under Willy Mutunga has been receiving a lot of financial aid from the two Breton institutions who were duped that the Kenya Judiciary is being reformed. This funding must stop with immediate effect since Willy Mutunga is not a reformist but an old tired chameleon who is working with the conservatives and the lords of impunity to make quick money as a compensation for the the many years that he spent struggling in political activism
Kenya: Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and The Supreme Court To Redeem Their Battered Image
From: Gordon Teti
The Judges of the Supreme Court are poised to redeem their badly damaged images following the illegal decision to confirm Uhuru Kenyatta as the 4th president of Kenya against all the evidence to the contrary. Now the six (6) disgraced Judges of the Supreme Court want to bribe the trust of Kenyans on May 24, 2013 by declarring the obvious. That the County Commissioners that were forced through the throats of Kenyans by Mwai Kibaki to frustrate the implementation of devolved government are in office illegal. From day one when Kibaki did this Kenyans knew that the action was illegal and unconstitutional.
Therefore Mutunga should not think that Kenyans are stupid to believe the Judges of the Supreme Court when they will uphold the decision of the High Court which had ruled that the County Commissioners have no place in the present dispensation.
Kenyans, please do not buy this ploy of bribing your trust. Willy Mutunga and his five friends will forever remain condemned for betraying Kenya and the Kenyan people. God the Almighty will pay them the ultimate price that they deserve.

Paul, i have no background in medical field but yours is also an opinion on possible cause of death,he could have actually committed suicide so don't just dismiss it especially his behaviour prior to his death.
But what is coming out as the more likely cause of death is poisoning whether self or third parties.
Who could be the third parties and what could be their motivation?
a) Kilonzo defeated Harun Mwaua in Makueni senator race..drugs and politics
b) Muthama wanted Kalonzo in parliament by all means..political
c) Kilonzo is believed to have secrets about perpetrators of PEV. According to a video of him recorded in Jan 2008, he says he believes PEV was actually planned..ICC

People:
Polonium 210 in kenyan soil. How did they bring it into kenya?. Our airport detect radioactive substances or not?. May be through sea, or through land.
I hear they are not leaving stones unturned. But what do they want people in the funeral homes or Kilonzo`s family to wear during burial time?. They definately need radiacative protectors.
Why should our media throw such a lethal news, but still want Kilonzo to have a normal burial. Polonium 210 is radioactive, but it hardly kills instantly like Kilonzo´s case. I think that the pathologist should not have released all the details to the public unless they were sure of what they are saying.
It means macroscopic evidences are not enough to give any clue yet. Kilonzo also did not leave any signatures, containers of poison, or needles or writings like it always happens during suicide deaths. Kilonzo was also not of a type who can commit suicide. The man was born a fighter and a winner too. No winning warrior commits suicide. Just go back to Prof Wangari; look that ladies history, how she was treated politically, had even a deadly disease cancer, but never commited suicide. She died from a natural cause. Kenyan politicians hardly kill themselves, life is good for them. So the theory that he may have taken poison and hide the container in the soil outside is zero. Nobody hangs himself and take the rope after death to hide in the bush. Or shoot himself and hide the gun.

Do you people believe that the Late Mutula, would have his dinner at 8pm, go to bed with remains of the food still on his bedroom table? I doubt that! and then be seen at 2 am in the garden? doing what? and by whom? was he on phone, seated, standing running or what? where were his security at the vilas at that wee time?
Then he went back to bed with food remains still on the table and slept? i doubt that, Mutula would have cleared the table if the house help had gone to sleep before he went to bed! I told you that, that food mix, ( Githeri, Nyama Choma, fruit drink, etc) were not adding up and i think they may have been placed to confuse investigations!
From the closest of his family member's, whom did he talk with last according to his phone call history? Do you want to tell me that, from 8 pm, till 1 pm the following day, no one from his Children or wife, contacted his phone? If they did and at what time, and failed to get a response, did they try to contact the workers for information? If so, at what time!
You expect Mutula to keep vital documents in his bed room and which should be out of bounds, do you think the Late would go to bed without locking his bed room door? Not likely!
If the door was that open, why did it take his workers so long to get to his bed room?
Lots of simple questions would solve this instantly!

The implication of testing for Polonium poison is obvious: it brings into the investigation radar the lunch Mutula Kilonzo had last Thursday at Norfolk Hotel with Raila, Wako and Muthama, because polonium can take long to react.

Laktar,
I agree with you. A pathologist or Crime Scene Investigator should never reveal what cause of death is suspected. If a murder, the killer will have an opportunity kujipanga or to hide evidence. I'm surprised that a pathologist from the UK would agree to this. Unless they are doing this as a diversion to lull the killer into peace of mind.

MIKE SONKO in deep TROUBLE - He cannot access UHURU at State House after stealing 500 MILLION
By Staff27/04/2013 08:12:00 // Kenya News | MIKE SONKO in deep TROUBLE - He cannot access UHURU at State House after stealing 500 MILLION
The Kenyan DAILY POSTPolitics05:12
Saturday April 27, 2013 - Word has it that Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko is now using all means available to access President Uhuru Kenyatta after his earlier efforts of meeting the President hit a dead end.
According to some sources, Sonko has resorted to bribing some security officials attached to the Presidential Escort as a way of getting access to State House.
The flamboyant MP, who was a key pillar in the Jubilee Alliance campaigns, has found himself on the rough side since the day President Uhuru was sworn in as President.
He has been thrown out of Uhuru’s entourage and it has been made clear that he is not wanted near State House after he failed to account for the huge sums of money he was given during the campaigns.
Rumor has it that Sonko was given more than Sh 500 million by Uhuru, but he is unable to account on how he spent the money during the Jubilee campaigns.

Posted Tuesday, December 27 2011 at 22:30
Many of the presidential hopefuls spent the Christmas holiday putting final touches on their preparations for next year’s campaigns.
The 2012 presidential race is crowded, attracting more candidates than any other election since the re-introduction of multiparty politics in 1992.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who starts the race in pole position by virtue of being the contender leading the biggest party, has also made some radical changes.
Out goes the old Orange Democratic Movement party slogan “Chungwa Moja Maisha Bora” and in comes a new slogan, “Change We Need”.
Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka, another candidate who is buoyed by the trappings of incumbency, has gone a step further and renamed his party, Orange Democratic Movement-Kenya. It is now called Wiper Democratic Movement.
Other strong contenders are Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Internal Security minister George Saitoti and MPs William Ruto (Eldoret North) and Martha Karua (Gichugu).
Also in the race are Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi, assistant minister Peter Kenneth, Foreign Affairs minister Moses Wetang’ula, former Cabinet minister Raphael Tuju, MPs Mutava Musyimi (Gachoka), Eugene Wamalwa (Saboti), and Education permanent secretary James ole Kiyiapi.
The aspirants are spending heavily, buying helicopters, setting up campaign secretariats, hiring staff at county levels and retaining campaign experts and PR gurus to clean up their image.
Mr Odinga, vying for the presidency for a third time, has set up four separate offices in Nairobi with former Kenya Ports Authority chief Brown Ondego leading the fundraising team.
He is yet to appoint a person to lead his main secretariat and double up as the campaign manager.
The appointment of lawyer Paul Mwangi as his legal adviser has been interpreted to mean that the PM wants his core campaign team to reflect the face of Kenya. (READ: Lawyer Mwangi appointed to replace Miguna)
Sources said the secretariats will be led by professionals and business people.
Several lobbies such as Friends of Raila, ODM Network Team, ODM Youth for 2012 and ODM Women Congress have joined his campaign.
A group of professionals from the Rift Valley has been formed to counter the anti-Raila wave in the region, and a coordinator is expected to head his campaigns in the diaspora.
Campaign website
When you log onto his campaign website, www.railaforpresident2012.com, you will be hit by the ‘Change is Coming’ message and hip-hop songs by local artistes, including Kigeugeu by Jaquar.
Mr Odinga has also set up several Twitter and Facebook accounts to woo voters on the social media.
Mr Musyoka has, on more than one occasion, declared that the 2012 presidential race is between him and Mr Odinga.
The party has two secretariats, one at the headquarters in Wiper House, Kileleshwa and another in Lavington.
Prof Marete Marangu leads the main secretariat, while Brig (rtd) Henry Rop is at Wiper House.
He has also brought on board lawyer Donald Kipkorir and Nominated MPs Ahmed Affey and Shakila Abdalla to win Muslim votes. Mr Musyoka also enjoys the backing of prominent parastatal heads.
“The secretariats are only on provisional basis since the Vice-President is an active member of the PNU Alliance,” said his spokesman, Mr Kaplich Barsito.
Mr Musyoka, who will be making the second attempt at the presidency, has opened offices in the United Kingdom to lead the hunt for the diaspora vote.
He argues that he is not a tribalist and wants Kenyans to elect a ‘servant leader’. He has a website, www.mykalonzomusyoka.com and several Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Mr Kenyatta, who recently regained control of Kanu, wants to take a second stab at the presidency after losing to President Kibaki in 2002.
Also a member of the G7 Alliance, the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance minister has picked some of the people who led President Kibaki’s re-election in 2007.
Top business people
His main secretariat is based at Chancery House, but he is yet to appoint the head. Mr Kenyatta has two other campaign offices, one in Lavington and the other at the UK Centre in the city.
Those working closely on his campaign include State House political advisor Nancy Gitau, former MPs Justin Muturi and David Murathe, Mr Alfred Gitonga and Mr Kenyatta’s long time personal assistant, Njee Muturi. Top business people and parastatal heads are also coalescing around Mr Kenyatta.
Mr Kenyatta has a chopper at his disposal, has extensive links with Kenyans in the diaspora and runs a website, www.uhuru.co.ke.
His aides are also active on the social media, often releasing statements on Twitter and Facebook.
Mr Ruto, who will be vying for the presidency for the first time, has opened a secretariat in Kileleshwa headed by Mr Sande Oyolo and another office for his party, the United Democratic Movement (UDM).
He has a think-tank comprising university lecturers and business people managing all aspects of his campaigns, from raising funds to preparing a manifesto.
“I am contesting the presidency not because I want power, but because I feel that as a person who has at one time walked to school barefoot, I understand problems facing Kenyans from all walks. Kenyans require leaders who can deliver them from poverty,” he said.
He has ordered a helicopter, runs www.williamsamoeiruto.co.ke, is active on Twitter and Facebook and has a dedicated short text message number, 7777, for interacting with supporters.
But like Mr Kenyatta, his push for the house on the hill seems to be held back by the pending case at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Ms Karua (Narc Kenya) and Prof Saitoti (PNU) have established their secretariats in Kilimani and Lavington, respectively.
Ms Karua runs www.marthakarua.wetpaint.com and launched her presidential bid this year. She is the most active aspirant on Twitter and Facebook.
Even though seen as outsiders, Mr Tuju and Mr Kenneth have covered a lot of ground in their bids for the presidency. Mr Tuju has two secretariats, runs www.raphaeltuju.com and is active on Twitter and Facebook.
Mr Kenneth is said to have acquired a second helicopter and recently launched his manifesto for the presidency.
He runs www.peterkenneth.com and has revived Kenya National Congress (KNC) as his vehicle to State House.
“We are actually shopping for a running mate. I cannot be somebody else’s running mate.
“There has never been any discussion with any presidential aspirant. Kenya needs ability, vision and energy, not a name or fame,” he says.
He is also setting up party offices in Lavington, and is recruiting members.
“We will focus on fewer things that have more impact on the economy. Most of my campaigns will be based on town hall meetings,” he says.
Prof Kiyiapi has been criss-crossing the country seeking support, but is the only aspirant without a party.
Perhaps he will disclose his political network when he steps down as Education PS and hits the ground running.

And as the re-opening date for second term neared, Daniel was a worried boy, but today, he needs not worry. His plea for an education fell on the right ears and his dreams to be a lawyer are no longer just that... they might actually come to fruition.

I pity him too. Now he is in much more hot waters than he was during the Kibaki administration. No wonder he bowed twice to Junior and his assistant to and from the ballot box during the Senate speaker's elections. The duo had graced the occasion to witness how the folks they "poured" millions of Kenya shillings voted. During the parliamentary speaker's elections following the 2007 general elections, the Mt Kenya goons greased the freshman MP for Embakasi to purchase his vote so that he could vote for their preferred candidate. The Mt. Kenyans didn't have majority in the house so they wanted to purchase some votes from the majority ODM's party to win the seat. However, Hon Were pocketed the cash and voted for the ODM candidate (Hon Marende). When the Mt. Kenya realized that, Hon Were never delivered his "cherished" goods they had already signed the invoice for, they were so upset and ordered for his elimination. And that is what eat Hon Were and not what Mutahi Ngunyi is trying to lie to us. The Ainamoi MP who lost his life by the road side, was involved in a love triangle with a police officer who was dating her colleague. ODM had nothing to do with this as Ngunyi is trying to defend those crooks who are out to exterminate our brilliant brains. ODM never deployed the officer who shot and killed the MP along with his darling baby come baby. That was their own business on the side.
Coming back to Sonko Bin Mbuvi, I am surprised to learn that the one million cash he distributed to Harambee Stars at JKI Airport upon their arrival from Lagos, Nigeria was stolen money. I wondered how in the world could a crook arm himself with 1M cash Patin-Moi's "Jirongoes" and distribute it freely in the open to members of the public in this modern 21st Century world. I couldn't phantom why he chose to do it that way instead of drawing a check to the team so that they can cash it. Doesn't he know how the check system works?

KENYA: What Mutunga has done for Kenyans will haunt him for the rest of his life and long after his death.
From: Gordon Teti
With utmost respect may I remind Dr. Mutunga that the Supreme Court Judges of whom he was one and also the President ordered for the re-tallying or scrutiny of votes for 22 Constituencies, which was just a sample and result confirmed massive discrepancies chief among the anomalies was that Uhuru was added votes while Raila's votes were deducted.
Secondly, the Judges who included Dr. Mutunga himself refused to accept the evidence from the Petitioners on a technicality that the pieces of evidence were not filed on time in a matter of such a national importance.
What Mutunga has done for Kenyans will haunt him for the rest of his life and long after his death.
KENYA LAWYERS ORDERED BY COURT TO DRESS PROPERLY.
By Agwanda Saye.
The High Court has ordered lawyers to adhere to the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Revised Dress Code.
High Court Judge Justice David Majanja dismissed a case seeking to declare the Advocates Revised Dress Code (2013) unconstitutional.
The dress code sparked public debate as it barred female lawyers from wearing revealing clothes including sleeveless shirts or dresses. It also made it mandatory for male Advocates to appear in court clad in dark coloured suits.
Lawyer Andrew Barney Khakula sued LSK and the Attorney General on January 24 arguing that the dress code violated Article 47 of the Constitution that guaranteed fair administrative action.
“The petition is frivolous and dismissed with costs to the first Respondent (LSK),” Justice Majanja ordered.
Following the Judgment, LSK CEO Apollo Mboya dispatched a circular to the 10,240 Advocates countrywide to abide by the Revised Dress Code. “Members are now expected to adhere to the dress code for appearance before courts and Tribunals,” Mboya said. The CEO warned that Advocates who appeared in court or tribunal dressed contrary to the code commited a professional misconduct.
Justice Majanja said that neither the petitioner (Khakula) nor his advocate failed to appear in court despite the hearing date being taken by mutual consent,” Justice Majanja ordered.
Justice Majanja said – in a two page ruling - that Khakula further failed to comply with an earlier order to file written submissions before he directed the matter to proceed for hearing.
Khakula was seeking a review of the Advocates Dress Code which is to give guidance to lawyers concerning matters of dressing for purposes of appearance in Court.
“I am satisfied that the petition does not disclose a cause of action as he does not state how his rights have been violated or identify the manner in which the dress code infringes on his personal rights and fundamental freedoms,” Justice Majanja ordered.
LSK opposed the petition arguing that its Council is empowered to issue regulations and directions regulating the conduct of Advocates including the manner of dress in court.
The dressing code barred wearing of culottes, shorts and jeans are not allowed – whether they bare suites or not – skirts must be of dark colours and at least knee length.
And blouses must be black, charcoal, grey, navy blue or similar colours and may be printed materials of a combination of the colours together with cream and white.
Shoes that expose the toes of both male and female lawyers are banned unless suffering from a feet ailment when sandals can be allowed. Shoes must be black, grey, navy blue or brown.
However, it allowed female lawyers to wear trouser suits and braid their hair when appearing before Judges, Magistrates and Tribunals.
The hair braids must be neat and held back from the face with a hair band, ribbon or hair grip when appearing before court. Braids should not be intertwined with coloured threads or flamboyant so as to bring the legal profession into disrepute.

Kenya: GOD FINALLY HEARS THE CRY FOR JUSTICE BY BUTERE GIRLS
From: Ouko joachim omolo
*The News Dispatch with Omolo Beste in images*
THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2013
At last the High Court has lifted a ban on the controversial play ‘Shackles of Doom’ by Butere Girls High School saying the move by the government was unlawful. Justice David Majanja ordered that the play must be shown because the Constitution does not allow a ban and it is not enough for the ministry of Education to ban it without reason.
Banned without reason because what the play depicts is real in Kenya. The play captures national ills of nepotism and tribalism which has tempered with development in Kenya since 1963 when Kenya got independence. The play was allegedly banned by the Kenya Schools and Colleges Drama Festival Executive Secretary Patrick Sirengo Khaemba.
The suit was filed by human rights activist and a long time friend of mine Okiya Omtatah.
The Permanent Secretary for Education George Godia and Attorney General Githu Muigai were listed as respondents.
Shackles of doom is play that depicts a film shoot set in the land of the Kanas, who refer to themselves as the TRUE KANAS, their land is oil rich but they are ignorant of the treasure that lies beneath their soil….a delegation arrives to their land and offer a beautiful lady – Wamaitha, to be married off to Lopush who is “Kana” in exchange of land where they settle.
Wamaitha is 3 weeks pregnant when they come and Kimani who is purported to be her guardian is responsible, she is married off against her will and her community with great determination and strong will construct “Mafuta Oil Refinery Company”.
During appointing of human resource, job opportunities are given with biasness and nepotism! The people of Kana demand for equal opportunities but are dismissed; only one person is considered from the marginalised community but as a watchman.
On the eve of Lopush and Wamaitha’s wedding, Kimani who is the CEO of the refinery company has an order to deliver 600 barrels of oil and dictates that everybody works on the night shift including those who were on duty during daytime. Lopush is not spared either because of his wedding that is coming up at the break of dawn; he is forced to be on duty as a security officer.
Kimani invades Lopush’s house demanding for intimacy from Wamaitha, of which she declines and they are caught up in the argument by Lopush who has absconded his duty in rebellion. Kimani hides in the children’s bedroom but unfortunately Lopush finds him, Wamaitha insists that the daughter can bare her witness that she did not fornicate.
As a matter of bad fortune she finds the daughter dead, still and lifeless when she goes to wake her up. Kimani is accused of her demise. A technical hitch occurs in the Mafuta Oil Refinery Company and there is a fire breakout at about the same time, angry villagers are summoned and just when they want to deal with the accused murderer (Kimani), his wife calls and says they are trapped in an inferno and Lopush has the keys to all the exits.
The whole village rush to help but they find a tragic scene, everyone has been consumed by the inferno, Wamaitha breaks news that her dead daughter was Kimani’s child.
The film director calls for cut and signifies end of their shooting, one member of the cast however retorts that the film has no credible resolution and cannot compete favourably, she suggests that all the communities be equally represented in employment opportunities for good relations, harmony and peaceful coexistence. Cameras were rolling in the meantime and the director terms the resolution to be credible.
The play is* written by award winning play-wright Cleophas Malalah, the Kakamega MCA for Mariakalo Ward. The play won Zonal, Divisional, District, Regional levels but banned from being staged at the National Drama Festivals set for Mombasa this month on claims that play is hate speech.*
* *
*The play calls for a thorough clean up of the mess in government key position jobs awarded to one particular ethnic and regional community. It calls for clean up in the *Ministry of Internal Security and Provincial Administrative beginning with Permanent secretary post, CID Director, GSU post, NSC – Peace and Conflict Management, Government Printer and Senior Director Administration/Internal Security.
Other messes that the play calls upon for a clean up include the Finance Ministry beginning with Permanent Secretary, Pensions secretary, ERD director, D/Finance secretary, and Controller and Auditor General.
Another key position the play calls upon for a clean up include Central Bank beginning with its Govern, Deputy Governor, Kenya Revenue Authority Commissioner General, Board Secretary, Senior Deputy Commissioner, Investigation and Enforcement, Deputy Commissioner, Administration and Deputy Commissioner Procurement.
Other key positions that need clean up include Commissioner for customs services, Senior Deputy Commissioner (Customs), Deputy Commissioner, Finance and Commissioner Domestic Taxes (LTO).
Senior Assistant Commissioner, Security, Senior Deputy Commissioner, Southern Region and Commissioner of Investigation and Enforcement post- Kenya Airports Authority MD, and General Manager Finance.
General Manager Marketing and Business Development, General Manager Information and Communication, Technology, General Manager Security Services, Head of Corporate Communications / PA to the MD, and Head of Procurement and Logistics.
Ministry of Industrialization, Chairman of the National Standards Council, Permanent Secretary, and Chairman of the Board-Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC)- Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
Company Secretary, Chief Manager, Energy Transmission, Commercial Services, Distribution Chief Manager, Planning, Research and Performance Monitoring; Eng. Kenya Petroleum Refineries General Manager, Finance Manager, Human Resource Manager and Engineering Manager.
It is Kenyan people’s hope that after Sunday performance by Butere Girls High School Drama Club, current government headed by Hon Ohuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto would have heard the cry of these tender girls, crying for their beloved country Kenya-to act and made balance in these key posts among other posts.

Kenya: Suprem Typing Error; or is it?
from: odhiambo okecth
Dear Friends,
At Page 106 of the Supreme Court Ruling, this is what they say;
'[290] Suppose, however, that the candidates, or a candidate who took part in the original election, dies or abandons the electoral quest before the scheduled date: then the provisions of Article 138(1) (b) would become applicable, with fresh nominations ensuing.'
Now this is the Law;
Procedure at presidential elections;
138 (1)- If any one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) if two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency,
Now, that is the Law. Where is 138(1)(b)? Or is it a Supreme Typing Error?
Could they be making reference to Article 138(8)(b)? This kind of error is very consistent with the careless way in which the Petition was dismissed.

At his inauguration on April 9, Kenya's new president, Uhuru Kenyatta, promised to uphold "international obligations". This was most likely a reference to the International Criminal Court. Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, are to stand trial before the ICC for crimes against humanity allegedly committed during the country's election-related violence in 2007 and 2008.
But this pledge came with a caveat. International obligations would be upheld, he said, provided they are founded on "mutual respect and reciprocity". As the product of a global treaty, the ICC depends on the mutual respect of its 122 member countries, including Kenya. The real question is what respect Kenyatta and his new government will show for the court. The previous government's record was deeply ambivalent. The ICC prosecutor stepped in when Kenya's national authorities failed to bring to account those responsible for the 2007-2008 violence, which claimed more than 1,100 lives and forced as many as 650,000 people from their homes.
Government officials and members of parliament swiftly challenged the court. Parliament pressed the government to withdraw Kenya from the ICC treaty, while a faction of the government campaigned for a United Nations Security Council deferral. Kenya petitioned to retake the cases, as was its right, but lost when ICC judges found no evidence of national investigations. As the cases have neared trial, Fatou Bensouda, the ICC prosecutor, has reported that the government has stalled or failed to assist its investigations, contrary to its ICC obligations. She cited this problem as one factor in her recent decision to drop the charges against Kenyatta's former co-accused, Francis Muthaura. The government is now seeking, before the ICC judges, to refute this claim of limited assistance.
Kenyatta and Ruto sent contradictory messages during the campaign. The two, who stood on opposite sides of the political divide in 2007 and are accused of organising attacks against each other's supporters, have now been united by the ICC's charges. On the one hand they pledged their cooperation to the ICC, while on the other they at times painted the election as a referendum on the ICC and the court as a tool of western imperialism. Indeed Kenyatta's caveat at his inauguration also came with a warning. He cautioned that no one country or group of countries should control international institutions or the interpretation of international treaties. As the keynote speaker, Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni, praised Kenyan voters for resisting "blackmail" by the ICC and accused "arrogant actors" of "using [the ICC] to install leaders of their choice in Africa".
This trades neatly on the canard that the ICC – with all eight of its investigations in Africa – is targeting the continent's leaders. This conveniently ignores that four investigations were referred to the court by the government concerned and two by the UN Security Council. Museveni himself sought the ICC's investigation in Uganda and hosted the court's states parties at a conference in a resort outside Kampala in 2010. Above all, the claim that the ICC is a stalking horse for the west ignores the horrific crimes committed in Kenya and that victims and their families have yet to see any measure of justice from Kenyan courts. Far from backing off, the international community needs to stand in solidarity with these victims and press Kenya's new government on its ICC cooperation obligations.
Kenyatta and Ruto are not fugitives, making some "business as usual" with the new government possible. But the ICC finds itself in a challenging situation in which it must depend at the highest levels on the very people it is putting on trial for the cooperation it needs to proceed. This reality means the international community will need to be vigilant in reacting to any signs that this cooperation is on the wane. Kenyatta's reformulation of his pledge on the ICC at his swearing-in should be cause for concern. He is seeking to have the charges against him dropped following the withdrawal of the case against Muthaura, a petition the ICC judges will decide. Kenyatta and Ruto, along with Ruto's co-accused, are entitled to a vigorous defence. That is their right and it should be scrupulously respected. But the Kenyan government should simultaneously ensure that the court can go forward with its independent, judicial process.
With witness protection a key concern – Bensouda has called the scale of witness interference "unprecedented" – the new government should signal that it will do all it can to help ensure the safety of those who would seek to assist the search for justice. Kenyatta missed the opportunity on day one to declare unequivocal commitment to the court. His administration should not miss opportunities to demonstrate this support in the days ahead.

KENYA: THE SAITOTI REPORT MUST BE RELEASED TO THE WORLD NOW
From: Nyambok, Thomas
THE SAITOTI REPORT MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE THE WORLD.SAITOTI WAS KILLED SO THAT UHURU KENYATTA COULD HAVE A WAY TO BE THE FOURTH PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AFTER MWAI KIBAKI
There is a brighter prospect of Barack Obama visiting his father’s home Land during his presidency and touting the gains of democracy in Africa.
No doubt the post election politics in Kenya are of interest to the International community for a number of reasons. It will determine the countries relationship with the United States where Barack Obama, a Kenya-American, is the president.
It is clear that elections, corruption, transparency and political participation are perennial challenges facing nearly 1.2billion African Citizens.
The United Nations has one of its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya’s Capital and therefore they have a stake in the future stability of the East African Country.
The forces of nationalism and patriotism among Kenyans have also been responsible for the elections’ outcome, surely an unintended consequence of prosecuting a nationalist of Kenyatta’s stature at International Criminal Court.
The rigged electoral votes for Kenyatta was made to look like votes were cast for Kenyatta by Kenyans in protest of his Indictment by the International Criminal Court, and other western collaborators for crimes against humanity that Kenyatta allegedly committed after the 2007/08 election.
The retired presidents are culprits for killing Kenyans, the genocide that have been executed by this thugs, mafia and mungiki should bee addressed by Kenyans and by the International Community before this retired presidents dies, they have to be taken to court some where not in Kenya because they are corrupt as they buy Kenyan’s Judiciary from Chief Justice, Attorney General and parliament, 80%Congress are in their hands, once red briefcase is lifted up they gung to gather to oppose the International Criminal Courts.
There is nothing like ICC, ICC is in their hands so Kenyans’ you will be forced to enter into the cord of 6666 other wise you will bee left behind time this is true and watch.
Since 1963 have you ever seen or having knowledge of knowing any prominent Kenyan that have been prosecuted for any wrong doing? No, Why’ because they are protected by the 6666 cord system from the masters using the powers from the devil to make sure that Judiciary is only for the middle class and for the poor see the Kenyan’s jails and prisons statistic.
KENYANS’ WAKE UP CALL FOR TOMORROW WILL BE FAMILLIES THAT WILL BE KILLED AS HAS BEEN DONE TO OTHERS IN THE PAST.
Dear Kenyans and the world at large, it is pathetic to have Kenyans being killed just like dogs by a few individuals around the presidency. I have been mentioning about the system and the methods that the State House does it’s poaching among tribal lines - the house of the people, the state house, is being misused for every execution exercise. They plan how some innocent or notorious Kenyans can be executed and the government goes free. The system of killings is really working from State House Nairobi successfully.
The killings are done in order to elect those who are the members of the evil clubs. Kenyans are competent with my reports as I have been reporting about the reach Kenyans and the money. I have been giving reports including the time when Jomo Kenyatta took over the leadership. It becomes a usual system as Arap Moi took over the presidency from J. Kenyatta in 1978.
Watch, the leadership of Mwai Kibaki is all about killing innocent Kenyans especially during the 2007/08 Genocide. He is getting away with the two reports from the two commissions. Why can’t former presidents reveal the secrets in the numerous commission’s findings – are the reports kept secret to protect those who were mentioned in these reports.
And now the three presidents have shown Uhuru all the methods to use for killing innocent people. Killing will still continue in Kenya till Jesus comes back, or till some wise Kenyan will have away to set Kenyans free from the bondage of evil.
Kasarani stadium was used to commemorate the day wrangles and fighting professor Saitoti started so that Uhuru Kenyatta would take over from Arap Moi for Kanu to be in power for one hundred years as Moi promised.
Raila Odinga and Professor Saitoti left Kanu party to start new collisions to succeed the Moi Uhuru project. Kasarani stadium was used for Uhuru Kenyatta’s inauguration day to burry Professor Saitoti’s ghost. Kenyans must demand the recorded video’s on the day Moi and Saitoti fell apart for Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed Moi. That’s why Raila Odinga and Saitoti decided to leave Kanu party.
Kenyan’s, it is time to wake up and to work together before this former presidents die. Kenyans must stand straight and demand to know why Saitoti was killed by the presidency’s mafia machinery from State house Nairobi. Killing plans got executed by Moi, Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta. Professor Saitoti was killed because he was more powerful than Uhuru.
Kenyans must demand the tapes that were recorded on the first day Moi, Saitoti and Raila Odinga’s relationship fell apart at Kasarani stadium when Moi declared Uhuru Kenyatta as his project.
Kenyans, remember that after they had executed the late professor Saitoti, Moi took his Crocodile tears to Saitoti’s family house as he did to Dr. Robert Ouko?
Remember, Uhuru Kenyatta and Kibaki contested the presidency one time - both of them are from Kikuyu Land and what happened between Raila and Kibaki was that Raila got in between Kibaki and Uhuru and used the words of only Kibaki is enough (Kibaki tosha). This happened because Raila knew that Uhuru was Moi’s project and by all means, Uhuru was to be rigged in just the same way they succeeded this time round.
Kenyans should know that they are at risk of living with Moi’s Kanu party under Uhuru’s ambrella. Kanu is ruling now, not Jubilee. That’s why Biwott is at a higher smiling point. They used mafia machinery for the successful execution to make rigging as the norm.
The rituals are done by executing prominent Kenyans and Intellectuals while rich people receive red briefcases from Kabarak. Those who got the red briefcase will have to pay back by sacrificing themselves or their family members soon.
Remember, you could be smiling with these mafia people today, and tomorrow, you’ll never know, you may find that you’re in the execution list for the next kill as a sacrifice for riches – blood money.
Kenyans, let’s use the wisdom and the commonsense we were given by God. God wants us to be very careful about things that are not done in his way, hold your Bible with your right hands higher up if you are a true Christian don’t copy the former presidents who never held Bible for the truth but for the evil motives don’t love money too much brothers and sisters you will find your self at sine.
Kenya is still at stake of 6666.
Yours faithfully Tom Nyambok and all be blessed. 4/12/2013.
Kenya: Supreme Court Struggles With Written Opinion In Dismissed Raila Petition

Supreme Court Struggles With Written Opinion In Dismissed Raila Petition
I have learned from a reliable source the Supreme Court has been struggling to put together a written opinion not so much so to convince us Kenyans that their decision was right but to avoid being viewed with disdain among the international jurisprudential community.
The Court's primary concern is having been recently heralded in both Kenya and in international circles as an emerging model of African jurisprudence operating in an independent environment without interference from outside, that notion is on balance and how the court explains its decision will determine whether that notion still holds or not.
In other words, whether the Court is deemed to be finally independent and judicious all depends on its written opinion, an opinion I have also learned from a different source will be issued on Tuesday.
There are a number of factual contradictions flying in the face of the Court's decision that the Court must convincingly explain but one that stands out the most, is the Court's own re-tallying which clearly shows inflation of votes in Jubilee strongholds and deflation of votes in Cord strongholds.
Although the numbers evincing this was small in the pre-decision partial results for the Court to get away with dismissing as "insignificant," which is laughable, anyway, as each vote counts, it is believed the final results of the Court's own ordered re-tallying shows an inflation and deflation of numbers the Court cannot possibly dismiss as insignificant and thus the reason many are dying to see what the explanation is.
I can confidently state based on what I know there is no explanation the Court will provide that can make sense even to those propagating it.
But something must be offered as an explanation and what that is is what we await knowing it'll have a direct bearing on the Court's credibility as the final arbiter of justice in our beloved country.
Peace, Unity and Truth

EAST AFRICA LAWYERS CONDEMN KISUMU KILINGS
By Agwanda Saye
Lawyers from East Africa have accused police officers of shooting to kill demonstrators in Kisumu over the weekend.
They called for prosecution of the trigger happy police officers towards bringing to an end perpetual shooting of demonstrators using live bullets.
The East Africa Law Society President James Mwamu said firing of live bullets when quelling down demonstrations at the lakeside city must stop.
“We demand an explanation from the police force as the officers seemed to have been given orders not only to shoot but shoot and kill,” Mwamu said.
Mwamu said that several of the civilans who are nursing gunshot wounds at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Provincial Hospital were shot while running away.
“It seems that it is has become a rule in the police force that every time there is demonstration in Kisumu live bullets must be used,” Mwamu said.
The EALS President said that the security officers have in the past five years shot to kill protestors at the lakeside city.
Mwamu was reacting to media reports following demonstrations that rocked parts of Kisumu after the Supreme Court upheld the Presidential election of Uhuru Kenyatta.
Gun shots were heard up to almost midnight as armed police officers dispersed youth from Kondele and chased them to areas such as Nyawita, Obunga and Nyalenda.
“The Constitutional right to life must not be taken for granted and can only be taken away legally,” Mwamu said.
Article 26 of the Constitution provides that every person has the right to life and shall not be deprived of life intentionally except when authorized by the Supreme Law.
“We strongly condemn the shootings in Kisumu that led to the death of two civilians and injuring several others on Saturday evening,” Mwamu said.
The EALS President said that the police must up hold the rule of law arguing that use of excessive force must stop under the new Constitutional dispensation.

What a betrayal of trust that Kenyans had on the Supreme court (Updated & Revised)
By Gordon Teti, Tuesday, April 2, 2013
ATTACHED is photo of Chief Justice Willy Mutunga taken few days before the March 4, 2013 by the Kenya media when he addressed the press regarding threats to the Kenya Judiciary.
While making the decision that the presidential elections were free, fair, transparent and credible and that Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto were validly elected, the Judges of the Supreme court forgot the REPORT on the re-tallying of votes that the same court ordered and the exercise conducted by the officials of the same Supreme court. What a contradiction and confirmation that the verdict was as a result of pressure and bribery of the Judges as speculated.
This is the OFFICIAL REPORT regarding the scrutiny or re-tallying of the votes by the Supreme court itself that came out just a day before the Judges turned around and disowned their own findings that there were numerous discrepacies in the conduct of the presidential elections: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/images/friday/132959279-Scrutiny-Report-for-33-400-Polling-Stations.pdf
Democracy on trial
What Mutinga read was written by other forces and he was forced to read it, the speculation goes. How can such an important matter take the Chief Justice only five minutes to deliver the decision? It is rumoured that the official decision that the six Judges of the the Supreme court abandoned due extreme duress and bribery by the lords of impunity and those we are determined to maintain the staus quo had four (4) Judges in support of the Petition and two (2) Judges against.
Given that Chief Justice Dr. Willy Mutunga is in record to have complained publically that he had received a death threat pen and that he was blocked at the airport from leaving the country on a trip to Tanzania just a few days to the election, there is speculations, and rightfully so that the Judges were forced to make the decision that they read. The threat made to the Supreme court Judges was widely reported as confirmed by several sources. Aljazeera news reported "Kenya's judiciary 'threatened ahead of vote" Aljazeera further stated that according to the Kenya Chief Justice, several judges received threats warning them against disqualifying two presidential candidates.

What Kenyans did not know?
What Kenyans did not know is that both Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta were projects of the former dictator Daniel arap Moi. To ensure that KANU rules for over 100 years as Joseph Kamotho, the former KANU Secretary-General declared, the ruling elites during Moi presidency dispatched Kibaki to the opposition to disorganize it. That is how Kenneth Matiba, who both Moi and Kibaki feared was stopped from becoming the president by dividing the Kikuyu votes in 1992. When Kibaki won the 2002 presidential elections, Uhuru conceded defeat easily because Kibaki belongs to the same camp of the ruling elites and therefore was going to continue with the same policies of the past.
Indeed, for the past 10 years of Kibaki presidency he brought back the policies of Jomo Kenyatta's presidency, which he blended with those policies of Moi's presidency. With Kibaki's second term settled after rigging the December 2007 presidential elections , the KANU machine settled for Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed Kibaki. Uhuru Kenyatta represents the interests of the following familes: Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, Simeon Nyachae, Moses Budamba Mudavadi and a few others. Kenya "iko na wenyewe" (Kenya has its owners and Raila Odinga is not one of the shareholders of corporate entity called Kenya). The KANU Club has regrouped under project Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.
The plan to rig the Kenya Presidential Elections 2013 was put in place well in advance. Immediately after Kibaki was rigged back to power after the December 2007 Presidential Elections and the formation of the forced marriage known commonly as the Coalition Government, Kibaki and those surrounding and supporting him, which include the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service (aka the National Security Intelligence Service) went to the drawing board to work on a plan that would ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta would take over the presidency when Kibaki retires. When Uhuru Kenyatta, as the opposition leader, declined to contest the presidency in December 2007 and instead gave his support to Kibaki, that was the time an arrangement was reached that Uhuru will succeed Kibaki.
Uhuru Kenyatta had assumed power long before the presidential elections were conducted
Therefore, the grooming of Uhuru Kenyatta started in earnest with appointments to very strategic positions in the Coalition government as the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. Those who think that Uhuru Kenyatta started receiving intelligence briefing after being rigged and declared the president-elect are in darkness. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service has been working very closely with Uhuru Kenyatta on the succession politics since the inception of the Coalition government. Most of senior appointments in the government including Ministers on the side of PNU were done with Uhuru Kenyatta's blessings. Kenyans still remember how Uhuru Kenyatta banged the table accusing Raila Odinga of frustrating the smooth operations of the government when Kibaki announced unilaterally, not appointed because the appointment was done by Uhuru Kenyatta, the appointment of Chief Justice, Attorney-General and Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP), which Raila Odinga opposed since he was not consulted as required by the National Accord that ushered in the Coalition government.
The following is the geneology and a well coordinated plan that was put in place over the past 5 years by the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that Uhuru Kenyatta succeeds Mwai Kibaki:
Raila Odinga who is the most credible challenger and opponent to Uhuru's presidency had to be stopped. To stop Raila from reclaiming his stolen presidential victory in December 2007, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service hatched a plot to destroy Raila's political machine and vehicle; the ODM Political party. How? By ensuring that ODM is reduced to a one man show; Raila's party and that of his Luo people. ODM had to be destroyed by all means possible so that the national outlook it enjoyed during the December 2007 general elections is dealt a big blow.
How was this to be acheived?
The former ODM Pentagon members had to be induced to desert Raila Odinga. Therefore, a strategy of both carrot and stick was employed by the the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service to ensure that William Ruto, Najib Balala, Charity Ngilu, Joseph Nyaga and Musalia Mudavadi all left ODM as a sinking boat. The first to be approached was William Ruto who was considered very vulnerable due to the ongoing court cases both in Kenya and at the ICC in the Hague. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service informed Ruto that he could choose a bright future with Uhuru Kenyatta or a doomed one with Raila Odinga. Ruto was informed that Raila Odinga will never be allowed to be president of Kenya and was reminded that if Raila Odinga's presidency was stolen in broad day light in December 2007, the same will be repeated in future elections.
Consequently, Ruto was reminded of his involvement in the post election violence of 2007/2008 and was warned that it was the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service that provided evidence to the ICC and as such the case against him is water-tight. It was at this point that Ruto was dangled a carrot to choose between supporting Uhuru Kenyatta or continue following Raila Odinga to the dungeons since it is only the Kenya Government under Uhuru Kenyatta who will save Ruto from being jailed for over 50 years by the ICC. Ruto succumbed and was immediately enlisted and tasked to assist the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in destroying Raila politically.
It was agreed that the other former members of the ODM Pentagon would not leave the party at the same time with Ruto for two reasons; one, to help with information gathering; and two, to confuse Raila that he still had their support only for them to leave at the last minute when elections are around the corner thereby making Raila extremely vulnerable. Otherwise, all of them were induced with money and alot of it infact, and were all privy to the rigging of presidential elections 2013 since Raila will never be allowed to be president of Kenya so it would useless backing a donkey who is going no where.
Involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency
Confirmation of the involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency is all over the place for Kenyans and the world to see. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service beefed up security at the Bomas of Kenya a few moments before the Election & Boundary Commission declared Uhuru Kenyatta president -elect in the same manner heavily police officer stopped the KICC in December 2007 and forced the late Samuel Kivuiti to declare Kibaki as the "duly" elected president of the republic of Kenya.
By visiting Uhuru Kenyatta after a few days of being declared president-elect at his private residence and publicly saluting him infront of TV cameras, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service sent a strong message to Kenyans and the world that it has recognized Uhuru Kenyatta as the in-coming Commander-in-chief. The reigns of power shifted on that day from Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta. The story and photo by the press showing the Chief of Defence Forces General Julius Karangi saluting Uhuru Kenyatta at his private residence in the company of the Head of the Public Service Mr. Francis Kimemia has been removed.
However, there was another meeting that Uhuru Kenyatta had with the Security Chiefs in the presence of William Ruto. Here is the link regarding this meeting: http://www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Uhuru-meets-security-chiefs/-/1064/1717688/-/118ju9w/-/index.html
With the decision of the Supreme court by the six (6) judges on Saturday, March 30, 2013, Kenya is quickly returning back into a police state as was the case during Moi dictatorship. Police are now arresting supporters of CORD indiscriminately all over the country. These are intimidation tactics to make Kenyans accept the Uhuru Kenyatta presidency; Kenyans must not relent; the darkest hour is the hour before dawn; change is coming to Kenya. Those who resist change by peaceful means are encouraging change through violent means.

It was agreed that the other former members of the ODM Pentagon would not leave the party at the same time with Ruto for two reasons; one, to help with information gathering; and two, to confuse Raila that he still had their support only for them to leave at the last minute when elections are around the corner thereby making Raila extremely vulnerable. Otherwise, all of them were induced with money and alot of it infact, and were all privy to the rigging of presidential elections 2013 since Raila will never be allowed to be president of Kenya so it would useless backing a donkey who is going no where.
Confirmation of the involvement of the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service in rigging of Uhuru Kenyatta to the presidency is all over the place for Kenyans and the world to see. The Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service beefed up security at the Bomas of Kenya a few moments before the Election & Boundary Commission declared Uhuru Kenyatta president -elect in the same manner heavily police officer stopped the KICC in December 2007 and forced the late Samuel Kivuiti to declare Kibaki as the "duly" elected president of the republic of Kenya.
By visiting Uhuru Kenyatta after a few days of being declared president-elect at his private residence and publicly saluting him infront of TV cameras, the Kikuyu Security Intelligence Service sent a strong message to Kenyans and the world that it has recognized Uhuru Kenyatta as the in-coming Commander-in-chief. The reigns of power shifted on that day from Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta. The story and photo by the press showing the Chief of Defence Forces General Julius Karangi saluting Uhuru Kenyatta at his private residence in the company of the Head of the Public Service Mr. Francis Kimemia has been removed.
However, there was another meeting that Uhuru Kenyatta had with the Security Chiefs in the presence of William Ruto. Here is the link regarding this meeting: http://www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Uhuru-meets-security-chiefs/-/1064/1717688/-/118ju9w/-/index.html
For the love of Kenya Raila Amolo Odinga has done it again
By Gordon Teti
It is not a secret that Kibaki handed over power to the military immediately Uhuru Kenyatta was rigged as the president-elect. It is not a secret that the military went to Uhuru Kenyatta's home and saluted him. That salute by the head of the military was symbolic. By saluting Uhuru Kenyatta at his private home in front of camera, the military told Kenyans and the world that it would be either Uhuru Kenyatta or the military that will the wield the reigns of power after Kibaki.
After Kibaki handed-over power to the military, the Judges of the Supreme court had to decide between military rule and that of Uhuru Kenyatta. The Judges had to decide between the lesser of the two evils and they opted for Uhuru Kenyatta instead of military rule as a lesser evil.
Kenyans will one day remember how Raila Amolo Odinga has sacrificed alot for a better and more democratic Kenya. By Raila Odinga accepting the decision of the court, he once again as he did in 2007, sacrificed his electoral victory for the sake of Kenyans and Kenya. God will bless Raila Amolo Odinga for his love for the country rather than for self.
KENYA: POLICE BAN DEMOS A HEAD OF RULING
From: Judy Miriga
Good People,
My worse fears is, in 2007/8 the police were found to have been in the offense and a big number of those murdered, were innocent people who were killed from their houses.
This kind of statement is worrisome and it causes lots of fears. Without police reform, and with this kind of public warning, police cannot be trusted where police is suppose to provide security of all..........
The world, more specifically President Obama with UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, should keep a closer watchful eye from any provocation and make sure that Kenyans stay safe from any attacks in the eventualities of Supreme Court Rueling and that, there is no repeat of 2007/8 casualties.

"Calmness" is a word that has over and over been misused in Kenya, in the recent past, by both that meant well- and- evil for the nation. Least of all top in the list, of those that should not use this word are, Kibaki and Uhuru. For one, Kibaki started the lawlessness path, Kenya, happen to find itself in today- in 2007/08 by working with the now disbanded ECK to manipulate elections results, thereby stealing Kenyans their Sovereign right, only for later, to in an extremely lawless way, swear himself to power at the statehouse at midnight, an act which for external intervention, to restore back peace in Kenya, Uhuru has not only with the help of IEBC repeated the same, this time round, but has moved even a step further to assume the role and powers, of the presidency, in an even more disputed election, in total disregard of the law. What now remains, to be addressed, is whether or not the law, will come out in full force to protect Kenyans. Or Kenyans to restore law in the best way they know how! And looking around, Kenyans taking care of the forces personnel that violate their rights is not just a common thing, but is as well on the increase. And reaching, Kibaki, Uhuru, Kimaiyo and the rest, will be the easy part!

Lawyers: Vote re-tallying revealed discrepancies
Updated 3 hrs 21 mins ago
By Standard Digital Reporter
Nairobi, Kenya: The re-tallying of votes from 22 polling stations and an audit of all Forms 36 used in the March 4 election revealed errors that were disclosed to the Supreme Court on Friday.
Lawyers representing electoral officials immediately dismissed these "clerical errors" as insignificant to the final outcome.
Lawyers representing petitioners said the scrutiny revealed there were ten missing Forms 34 out of the 18,000 looked at in the re-tally. There were also errors in some of the Forms 36 used to declare results at the national tallying centre.
Form 34 is the statutory Declaration of Results at Polling Station in respect of the Presidential Election. Form 36 is the Declaration of aggregated tally of Results in a Constituency/county in respect of Presidential, National Assembly, County Women Representative, Senator, Governor and County Assembly Representative elections.
Lawyer Kethi Kilonzo, representing Africog, singled out Laikipia West constituency where the team said they got two Forms 36 hence "were not able to verify the votes cast". Uhuru got 70,760 votes in the area.
She took issue with the fact that ten Forms 34, all for polling streams in different constituencies, were not provided to the scrutinising team.
“Under article 138 (4) a candidate must meet two thresholds of getting more than 25 per cent of votes cast in more than half of the counties and 50 percent plus one of the total votes cast,” she added. “The IEBC were under responsibility to tally and verify all 33,400 polling stations. The formula is mathematical and the constant is 'all votes cast'. If there are Forms 34 missing, where are they and what are the results of those?"
She pointed out that the results were compiled by March 5 adding: “Even if returning officers were walking to Nairobi they would have reached by now,”
She said the IEBC made a decision to announce the winner without completing tallying from all polling stations.
“Even if it was one polling station, the chairman could not announce the results without that form in his hand,” she added, “In the 10 constituencies can the court state with certainty what the results were?”
She said with the results of the scrutiny ordered by the court, the judges should ask if the constant formula of tallying all votes cast had been used.
She asked the court to decide if the IEBC carried out its mandate as required by law and whether its declaration of winner should be upheld.
Lawyer George Oraro representing Prime Minister Raila Odinga said there were grave errors in Forms 36 from seven constituencies. He said in some instances, there were two Forms 36.
He said there were "huge discrepancies" in the Forms 36 used in the final tally of presidential results and added Uhuru Kenyatta could not have garnered the 50 per cent plus one vote based on the errors.
But the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission through lawyer Nani Mungai said the discrepancies in Forms 34 and Forms 36 were explained by Returning Officers in affidavits filed in the case.
Lawyer Fred Ngatia for Uhuru Kenyatta said there were clerical errors across the country but added they were not substantial.
“Voting, counting and tallying of the presidential election was done to a substantial degree of accuracy,” he said.
Lawyer Katwa Kigen representing Deputy-president elect William Ruto said the elections were conducted fairly.
“The elections were conducted by humans and humans commit errors, mistakes and oversight but in this case they are insignificant and do not suggest malice or collusion,” he said.
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga said they have retreated to write the judgment and will deliver the ruling on Saturday
Police ban demos ahead of court's ruling

Police have vowed to crackdown on planned demonstrations across the country ahead of Saturday's ruling by the Supreme Court ruling on an presidential petition filed by Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo said they are aware of people who plan to hold demonstrations regardless of how the Supreme Court rules on the petition.
The police have consequently banned any assembly outside the premises of the Supreme Court on Saturday and instead urged the public to follow the proceedings on television.
“This should not be construed as denial of right to association, but a precaution to ensure criminal elements do not hijack such demonstrations to engage in lawlessness,” he said.
Mr Kimaiyo, in a security briefing at his office, cited Nairobi where supporters of both the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) and Jubilee Coalition plan to converge outside the Supreme Court when the judges will be reading out their ruling.
According to the Inspector General, the planned demonstrations are being co-ordinated by non-governmental organisations.
Mr Kimaiyo advised NGOs seeking to engage in demonstrations to first seek police security.
Katiba La Mwananchi is one such organisation that has been warned not to engage in demonstrations, because it lacks the capacity to ensure security of its members and ward off criminals who may take advantage of the occasion.
At the same time, the police boss said they have gathered evidence on some people who are distributing pangas, simis, machetes and clubs in parts of Kibera, Mathare, Dandora, Kariobangi and some parts of the Coastal region.
“We also wish to advice leaders issuing statements that are tantamount to incitement, hate speech and negative stereotyping to desist from doing so. We have noticed increased polarization of the country emanating from such statements and some are done through social media and those perpetuating this know themselves,” the police boss said.
Poll was a fraud on voters, argues lawyer

Videos were among the evidence presented at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in a petition challenging the election of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as Kenya’s fourth President.
Two petitioners, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) laid out what they said was evidence that Mr Kenyatta was not validly elected as the hearing of the petition proper began.
Africog was the first to present its case. It alleged massive irregularities, contravention of the Constitution and violation of electoral laws by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Through its lawyer, Ms Kethi Kilonzo, the civil society group showed videos of results announcement at Nyeri and Bomet counties tallying centres which Ms Kilonzo claimed were different from the final results announced by the IEBC and captured in Form 36.
“What the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission announced as the final presidential tally was a complete fraud since the effects of the irregularities were that what candidates got was not what they ought to have got,” she said.
For Nyeri, the organisation played a video in court in which the county tallying officer read the final results showing Mr Uhuru Kenyatta having 317,881 votes with his closest challenger, Mr Raila Odinga, getting 6,075 votes.
According to Ms Kilonzo, the final tally by IEBC showed Mr Kenyatta’s votes as 318,880 while Mr Odinga’s votes were given as 5,638. The rejected votes went down from 3,030 to 2,465.
“Form 36 presented by IEBC is filled by fraud against every individual who queued for hours to vote for their preferred candidate and the only logical solution would be to invalidate the results of the entire county,” Ms Kethi said.
“Every man or woman is entitled to one vote but the end of the IEBC conduct did not justify the means. They conducted the elections in total contravention of the Constitution and their own regulations which cannot lead to a legitimate government,” she said.
Ms Kethi gave another example of Machakos Town constituency where she alleged that the IEBC register had only 125 voters registered without biometric information but the final results showed a total of 3,182.
The court was also shown another video from Bomet County, which Ms Kilonzo claimed, showed the final presidential votes tally pinned on the wall at a tallying centre differing from the one announced by IEBC and indicated on Form 36.
Said Ms Kilonzo of another centre, Charity Primary School in Kieni constituency: “The principle register... had only one registered voter, but the result shows Mr Kenyatta got 310 votes. Even the returning officer did not indicate how many registered to vote or the results of other candidates”.
She added that the IEBC cannot say it did not break the law since it went against its own promise to deliver results within 48 hours, adding that the electronic transmission failure was IEBC’s own making to enable stealing of votes.
“We cannot understand the mischief behind the system failure since it was not for the benefit of the commission but for the people of Kenya to ensure a free, fair and transparent election,” Ms Kilonzo said.
Should the Supreme Court find the election was bungled, Ms Kilonzo argued that the judges should order the Director of Public Prosecution to investigate and prosecute those involved in committing electoral offences.
The formal hearings begun with the judges announcing that they had distilled all the issues presented by the lawyers, who couldn’t agree on what the judges should decide, and condensed them into four.
The first Issue is whether Mr Kenyatta and William Ruto were validly elected in the presidential election.
Second is whether the presidential election was free, fair and transparent and in compliance with the law.
Third is whether the rejected votes ought to have been considered in calculating the final percentages.
The final one is what orders the court should make after determining the three issues.
Oraro: Report confirms elections results doubtful
Updated 1 hrs 53 mins ago
By Wahome Thuku
Nairobi, Kenya: Prime Minister Raila Odinga says the scrutiny of results initiated by the judiciary has confirmed his cases that there were massive discrepancies in the tallying of presidential elections.
His lawyer George Oraro asked the Supreme Court to use the report to find that the elections results were not credible.
“You can’t rely on results as provided by the IEBC because even from exam of 25 polling stations you have variation of 3,347 additions between form 34 and 36,” Oraro told the court.
Oraro pointed out that the report did not throw a lot of light in this scrutiny since not all forms 36 had been scrutinized.
Raila asked the judges to consider the scrutiny as override all other submissions in the cases since it had been initiated by the court itself.
There were grave errors in documents from several constituencies.
Some had two forms 36 and others had varying number of voters yet others had incomplete numbers, Raila argued.
The PM said no re-tallying had been done on report of the 22 polling stations which they had raised issues with.
The scrutiny was based on the registered voters in the principle register provided by the IEBC.
“Even after the registers were closed there were still registrations of voters. No green book or special register was produced in court,” Oraro claimed.
He noted that according to the report forms 34 were missing from 10 polling stations.
“Neither ourselves nor this court have been provided with these form 34,”
He added, “You have remarks of more voters than those registered irrespective of where you are looking at.”
He said if the variances were considered the results would be that the winning candidate would not get 50 per cent plus one votes.
Kenya: Votes Re-tallying Ordered
From: Judy Miriga
Good People,
IEBC is accused to be opaque and it seems they are applying the same on the flow of the Court. They seem to be blocking supportive affidavit of the same petition. The affidavit of petitioners given is understood to be explaining in answer to questions that arose on the flow where the petitioner is forced to provide more information to be understood. Additional information of facts arising therefore is also not a crime Oraro explains to Ngatia and that does not mean that the affidavit is a new case petition. Oraro contributions does not seem to have contradicted Rules for engagement, it is observed.
Ms. Kilonzo offers determination that IEBC contravened constitution and law but is being obstracted by Ahmednasir to be opening a floodgate, and interjects that if one wants to open a floodgate then let it be open wide.......and a Judge on the bench with a statement that time-frame is of essence dismissing the matter to be discussed by the Counsel Although all top representatives were served with Ms. Kilonzos notice.............Wow.....!!! CJ Justice politely demands that Ms. Kilonzo present her case tomorrow.
This case is a public matter, CJ Mutunga keeps reminding the Counsel.....
Ruling will be delivered tomorrow on this matter.

Summary
The Cord response can be summarized into the following:
a) Inaccurate transfer and inflating of votes from Form 34 to Form 36:
CORD provides numerous examples of how the number of votes entered in IEBC Form 34 was changed when entered into Form 36. For example, in Mogongo Primary School polling station in North Mugirango Constituency the original Form 34 figure of 3 votes for Uhuru was entered as 236, an additional difference of 233 votes; Lemelepo Water Project polling station in Kajiado North Constituency shows that while Form 34 originally indicated 2740 for Mr Kenyatta, this figure increased by 264 votes to a total of 3004 in Form 36.
CORD also cites similar examples from Garsen, Igembe Central, Chuka Igambang’ombe, Manyatta, Ol Jorok, Mukurweini, Kabete, Kapseret, Tinderet, Tiaty, Kajiado North, Chepalungu, Konoin, Luanda, Funyula among others.
b) Inflating of votes for Uhuru Kenyatta in form 36 in the Final Tally:
An affidavit sworn by ODM executive officer Janet Ongera also presents cases where the Form 36 entries were further altered to inflate Uhuru Kenyatta’s votes in the final national tally announced by IEBC at Bomas of Kenya.
Quoting examples from Kisauni, Tigania East, South Imenti, Runyenjes, Mavoko, Othaya Nyeri Town, Kiharu, Lari, Kajiado West, Lurambi, Hamisi, Mr Elgon
Webuye West, Seme, North Mugirango among others, CORD exposes a “scheme of inflation” of Uhuru’s votes in the figures announced in Bomas.
Among quoted examples is Lari Constituency where results entered at the Constituency tallying centre and the ones announced in Bomas show an increase of 1,367 for Uhuru Kenyatta. South Imenti is shown to have announced 62,481 at the Constituency’s Form 36 and 63,271 at Bomas National tally giving Uhuru Kenyatta 790 additional votes.
In Kisauni, Uhuru Kenyatta gained an additional 528 votes. While Form 36 indicates 10,366, IEBC’s final tally at Bomas indicates 10,894. In Mt Elgon, Uhuru gained an extra 500 votes (Form 36 shows 28,786 while the Final Tally shows 29,286).
c) Reduction of Raila Odinga’s Votes
Raila Odinga’s votes were also reduced in Form 36 logs (Constituency results) in spite of Form 34 (Polling Station Results) indicating he had a higher number of Votes. Examples are attached from 38 constituencies where Raila Odinga’s results at the polling stations (Form 34) were tampered with and reduced when the final constituency results were lodged into Form 36.
The 38 constituencies include Kisauni, Bura, Matayos, Tigania West, South Imenti, Manyatta, Runyenjes, Kitui, Makueni, Mathira, Juja, Nyeri Town, Turkana Central, Samburu, Aldai, Tiati, Baringo Central, Laikipia West, Laikipia East, Kajiado North, Chepalungu, Mumias East, Shinyalu, Luanda, Emuhaya, Sirisia, Webuye West, Tongaren, North Mugirango, Othaya, Roysambu among others.
d) Use of Electronic Voting
In his reply, Odinga also states that
i. the use of technology in the elections was intended to act as a check and control system and its failure affected the results fundamentally.
ii. that the explanations given by the IEBC downplaying the failure of the system and its effect on the elections “takes the common intellect of the people of Kenya for granted”
iii. that the IEBC explanations about the failure of the system are not factual
Mr Odinga also has attached a sworn affidavit from an ICT expert whose testimony shows that the Kencall Relationship with IEBC and TNA compromised data management.
a) Kencall EPZ used a single IP address 196.1.26.40 for both the IEBC and Uhuru’s Kenyatta’s TNA. In its evidence CORD says Nicholas Alexander Nissbit (A Kencall Director) does not deny the fact that both the IEBC and TNA were hosted and operated on a single IP address as has been claimed by CORD. They also will provide proof that Kencall EPZ Limited, in reality was a call centre that was used as a gateway that linked the First Respondent’s database titled African Focus and accessed through the following web address or URL https://www.intranet.kencall/apps/iebc and The National Alliance (TNA) database known as Market Race CRM and accessed through the web address or URL https://www.intranet.kencall/apps/tna.
b) The IEBC by agreeing to this arrangement compromised the elections on the basis of requirements for a an impartial, neutral, transparent, efficient, accurate, accountable and verifiable manner.
e. IEBC System Failure Explanation – NOT FACTUAL
a) Claims made by the IEBC have no basis whatsoever as regards to alleged failure of the technology according to CORD’s expert witness affidavits. One expert describes the IEBC claim that the server failed as “entirely preposterous”.
b) CORD’s Spanish expert’s affidavit describes as either “pure fiction” or “entirely inconceivable” IEBC’s claim that the batteries of the hand held devises used at the polling stations for bio metric identification of voters either failed or were not charged or could not hold charge for a sufficient period of time
c) The CORD experts’ affidavits will also present evidence to show that IEBC claims that the transmission system failed due to data overload has no basis in technology terms in this day and age.
d) CORD also questions IEBC claims that their officers has forgotten passwords does not make sense as there exist mechanism in place for password reminder which standard technology industry practice as seen worldwide on social network websites like Facebook.
e) CORD will also present a sworn affidavit by an International Technology expert who states “This system in my personal knowledge, has the capability to deliver up the election result within a period of around 4 hours with very negligible error”.
f. Voter Registrar:
The Petitioner also contends that:
i. IEBC has failed to present a closed register for the March 4th Elections.
ii. IEBC resolve that “a special register is to be generated and will be used to allow the voters to vote” but never presented any proof or minutes of a meeting where this special register was finally approved and when it was gazette.
iii. A questionable voters register cannot be a foundation of a free and fair election conducted in accordance with the law.
iv. IEBC own staff and figures show incidents where IEBC allowed votes that exceeded the number of registered. This latter category of incidents include; Lomerimeri polling station in Tiaty Constituency where the form 36 itself shows 68 registered voters against 163 valid votes cast; King’atua Primary School in Lari Constituency where the form 36 itself shows 319 registered voters against 762 valid votes cast; Boroon Primary School in Marakwet West Constituency where the form 36 itself shows 218 registered voters against 228 valid votes cast.
CORD petition through various documents finally seeks to show that President Elect Uhuru Kenyatta did not meet the 50 + 1 threshold, and the declaration by IEBC was the result of inaccurate tallying and unwarranted additional votes

Supreme Court orders retallying of presidential poll results in 22 polling stations
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered re-tallying of the presidential results in 22 polling stations using Forms 34 and 36 so as to determine the numbers of votes cast over number of registered voters.
The exercise will commence on Tuesday from 8am.
In the ruling, Justice Smokin Wanjala said the retallying would aim to show if the number over votes cast exceeds the number of registered voters.
Justice Wanjala also ordered that the results from the 22 polling stations be filed at the Supreme Court registry by Wednesday 4pm after re-tallying.
The court also ordered that all the representatives and agents from the petitioners and respondents in the recount process to take an oath.
The court also approved the application by the Attorney General to act as 'a friend of the court' in presidential petitions but dropped the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) application.
The judges also consolidated three petitions and allowed the Cord petition to take lead.
Early in the day in his opening remarks, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga said the judges will be objective in its ruling on the petition.
"We as judges are servants of the law. We shall be objective," he said.
"Supreme court to remain objective. Public should trust us to do our job. Justice should manifest to be done," he added.
Dr Mutunga also urged Kenyans to accept the final decision that will be arrived at by the Supreme Court and move on.
"Whatever decision emerges from this petition, we must march forward," he said.
While addressing the court, Attorney General Githu Muigai sought to be enjoined in the petition as amicus curiae or a friend of the court.
"We can only be enjoined in the case on the discretion of the Court," said AG Muigai.
However, Mr Odinga has filed an objection to the Attorney General joining the presidential petition.
AG Muigai also argues that his appearance in petition is not to support any party but to lay down law as it is with authorities from across the globe.
"The AG's role is to elucidate on legal issues, not to support any side," he said.
However, IEBC boss Issack Hassan's lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi said his client had no objection with the appearance of AG in the petition.
However, IEBC boss Issack Hassan's lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi said his client had no objection with the appearance of AG in the petition.
Lawyers Katwa Kigen and Fred Ngatia also have no objection to AG being enjoined in the petition.
Notably, lawyer Kethi Kilonzo for Africog argued that issues before court do not require an interpretation of the law to warrant inclusion of the AG.
However, Cord's lawyer George Oraro argued that the AG has applied to be enjoined without request from the court or any party.
"The AG has misinterpreted circumstances under which he can apply to be enjoined in cases before court," he said.
"An election petition is not a civil proceeding. The government is not defined in the Constitution but state is defined," he added.
Mr Oraro argued that in relation to this petition the AG can be enjoined by the Constitution to to assist the IEBC.
However, AG Muigai disagreed with Mr Oraro and argued that the petition was a civil matter.
AG Muigai argued that as amicus curiae, his office will not impose views on the court hearing Cord's petition against President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta.
"I have not advised the president-elect, contrary to claims by lawyer George Oraro," he said.
Lawyer A.B Shah also lodged an application for the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to be enjoined in the petitions before the Supreme Court as amicus curiae.
However, LSK faced opposition on its application to be enjoined as amicus curiae in presidential petitions by parties before Supreme Court.
Mr Oraro opposed the inclusion of the LSK in petition arguing that the society is partisan.
Lawyer Fred Ngatia representing Jubilee Coalition also opposed inclusion of LSK as amicus curiae the society was an observer in the General Election.
Mr Ngatia also argued that LSK is on record 'supporting a petitioner.'
During the submission, political activist Nazlin Umar disrupted court proceedings for several minutes at the Supreme Court as she attempted to address judges over an application she had filed.
Ms Umar said as the "Wanjiku's" lawyer, she was disappointed that her application has been ignored.
However, Dr Mutunga said that the Supreme Court will not hear or deal with any petitions, requests or submissions that were done past the allowed time.
Petition consolidation
During the submissions, Jubilee's lawyer Mr Ngatia argued that a couple of preliminary issues had to be addressed before the hearing of the petition.
Also, AG Muigai advised the court to give the parties involved time to come up with a conclusive mechanism of what may be required for progress.
Mr Ngatia argued that the petition by Cord only raised one issue.
"The court should consolidate all the petitions and marry all the related issues raised by petitioners and respondents," he said.
Lawyer Njoroge Regeru argued that the petitions consolidation were sensible and will lead to arguable case and speedy resolution.
Africog's Counsel Keth Kilonzo also argued that matters of fact and matters of law should be consolidated to allow a reasonable suit.
However, Mr Oraro said the consolidation of the cases including respondent number three may not hold.
Mr Ngatia noted that petitions 4 and 5 had similar issues, contest and engagement and thus could be consolidated.
Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi also argued that petition number 5 bore more weight than 3 and 4 and should be given preference.
Petition mutations
Mr Ahmednasir also asked the court to give directions on the type of petitions to be followed.
Mr Ahmednasir argued that his client, Mr Issack Hassan was concerned with continued mutation of the presidential petitions, hence, affecting its expediency.
Mr Ngatia also requested the court to give guidance on the petitions to avoid the mutations.
"There's new evidence being introduced and this means the defence teams must be given time to respondents to all affidavits," he said.
"There are 122 new electoral areas that are being introduced by the petitioner which bears grave consequences on time," he added.
However, Mr Oraro argued that it is within the provisions of law to file new evidence as the hearing continues.
On his side, lawyer Harun Ndubi argued that the introduction of affidavits is important at any point.
The judges, led by Dr Mutunga, could either dismiss the petition, order a re-count of the presidential votes, settle on a re-run, or rule that the whole process begins afresh with the registration of voters.
The actual hearings of the petition are expected to start on Thursday and could continue un-interrupted until concluded.
Apart from the petition filed by Cord's presidential candidate Mr Raila Odinga challenging the declaration of Jubilee's candidate Mr Uhuru Kenyatta as winner of the presidential election, there is another filed by a civil society group, the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog).
Also before the court is a petition filed by some members of Mr Kenyatta’s campaign team, social media activists Dennis Itumbi and Moses Kuria and a third person, challenging the inclusion of spoilt ballots in the calculation of votes attained by each candidate.
The objections raised by Mr Kenyatta and Deputy President-elect Mr William Ruto, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and its chairman Issack Hassan, will also be narrowed down to what will be argued verbally in court.
Kenya: Dictatorship slowly creeping in as we all watch
From: odhiambo okecth
Friends,
A few things have been disturbing me, and as is in my nature, I will not keep quiet.
Is Kenya becoming a Police Dictatorship? Why is the Inspector General of Police keen on gagging Kenyans and denying us our freedom to assemble, talk and associate?
We have come a long way with our fight for democracy and reforms. Many Kenyans have been killed in this journey, while many more have been maimed, tortured beyond repair and suffered stints in detention for agitating for change and reforms.

The more garbage we clear, the more garbage we generate.
We have come full circle and going by the results of the last General Elections which have been disputed, many Kenyans care less about reforms and democracy. But we all care about our freedoms.
The Civil Society have effectively undergone a complete metamorphosis and no one cares about the tenets of democracy any more. Many care only about the many hotel seminars that they attend and the attendant perks that come with such lofty engagements.
This is why many issues of Governance and Peace are only held in seminars and in hotels where the people who attend are the same same people who keep meeting about such things. They move to congregate from one hotel to another in different locations and they have largely remained isolated from the common reality.
Who is going to talk for the common man whose rights of speech, association and assembly is now being slowly eroded by the new Sherrif in Town? Is the Sherrif acting within the law when he declares all meetings illegal? Is he acting on behalf of some other unseen face? Or, is he afraid of something we all do not know?
Our agitation for repeal of Section 2A led to the first Multi Party elections where the Professor of Kenyan politics Mzee President [rtd] Daniel Arap Moi won albeit with a slim majority the General Elections of 1992. He again won in 1997 to complete his two terms in office.
During this time, there was acceleration of reforms and the gains we had made were never eroded.
Then in 2002, we all rallied behind Mzee President Mwai Kibaki. We started seeing systemic attempts to erode the gains we had made. The first such attempt was in 2005 when we were saddled with a watered down version of a Constitution which we effectively rejected.
The second such attempt has been the question of the County Commissioners. The Courts nullified their appointments but the Executive Wing of Government simply ignored those orders. They have now ordered the Ministers who won other posts to resign and that will be effected. It does not matter how much noise the Prime Minister may make on this.
We have seen nothing in the form of national healing and cohesion. Jobs have been given out in a manner that left many people wondering where Kenya was heading to. And the constant rejoinder was that people were being appointed based on their competency. Competency hence become the justification. And Kenyans watched with baited breath as some key State Offices become a preserve of competencies from the appointing authority.
We then went through a General Election that was generally flawed in 2007 and Mzee KIbaki reached a common agreement with Raila Odinga and they formed a Coalition Government. They forgot to punish the people who messed the election that severely caused friction between them. 1,133 Kenyans were killed at that time, 600,000 more were uprooted from their homes and property of unknown value was destroyed across all Kenya. And no one has been punished for this! And now, we are being warned not to talk, not to assemble and not to freely associate!
The International Criminal Court is also now realizing how tough it is to deal with the dark forces of impunity.
As we speak, there is a game of cats and mice going on with regard to resettling those who were Internally displaced. I thought these people were displaced from somewhere, and now that we have peace between the then protagonists, people can just happily go back to where they were displaced from.
I bet Kenya is facing more serious problems and the attempts by the IGP are simply therapeutic. I do not want to believe that we have gone full circle and all that we fought for have come to nothing.
It is also good to realize that material wealth has replaced ideals. Many people have at long realized that ideals do not place bread on the table, while money does. Many are hence throwing all caution to the wind in pursuit of power, raw power and money. And with it, Kenya is being saddled with a leadership that will shame the whole country.
Pray, why must we elect journeymen into our Legislative Bodies- the National Assembly and the Senate? What is the problem with us? The gods must be absolutely crazy and they must be dancing on the graves of all those gallant sons and daughters of Kenya who fought for reforms and return to Multy Party Politics.
I really would not want to imagine that the Police are willing to be major players in silencing Kenyans, or, clubbing Kenyans into submission at a time thugs are running amok across Kenya!
Crime is escalating and the Police are looking helpless about it. Yet, they have the audacity to come policing innocent Kenyans whose only crime seems to be Freedoms of association, assembly and speech.
I would want to believe that their hands are tied and they have enough to justify for their existence.
The dark clouds are gathering and everyone seems to be taking off as the Inspector General of Police assumes new powers hitherto not known in Kenya.

I openly share my thoughts as a concerned Kenyan with the Chief Justice concerning the cross-road our country yet again finds herself and this time we look to a legal than political solution to fix what Raila and Cord say were botched elections on account of widespread irregularities and rigging.
Peace, Unity and Truth

Kenya: Supreme Court reactions – Kisumu
From: Judy Miriga
Good People,
What is happening in Kisumu is not the Democracy people voted for. It must be noted that, Security and protection of the people comes first before anything else.
Peaceful demonstration to express reaction, opinion and feelings is not a crime.
Live bullet on innocent people in Nyanza is wrong. This is very much condemned as it is unacceptable !!! People should be left to express their feelings as long as they are peaceful. The Police is stationed to bring peace and protect people not to brutalize and kill them with trigger happy. The succession of release of live bullets with smoking gun fires is unbelievable.
Human beings should not be killed like hunted wild animals. The Police law here was applied discriminatory. This is wrong and I am very saddened to watch what is going on in Kisumu Kenya !!
This behaviour shows very clearly how there was a plan to marshal the police to Kisumu with an intention to provoke and destroy them and the world must see this for what it is because we are not going to take such behavioural attack lightly; as it does not matter from whose order that came from.
