Folks, Election were stolen in 2007/8 by Kibaki and Co. After which Reform Accord was formalized to constitute the Coalition Government whose term in Office is ending by 30th December 2012. Bad leadership are reasons why Kenyan people are suffering from joblessness and poverty. Kenya is not for sale and it is by voting the right people that we shall elect good leaders to lead Kenya to greener pastures and go afterr those who stole from Kenya's public wealth and resources. Peoples vote is a right and that cannot be disputed by any Court of Law........If people are not satisfied with the IEBC they have a right to appeal and there are provisions what next after the Coalition Government end their term of office in December 2012 when public outcry is tabled in court contesting the IEBC discrimination against the Diaspora Voting Rights...... Diaspora played crucial part in the process of intervention and it is just right that the diaspora are fully given opportunity to participate in electioneering. Diaspora vote is a right without discrimination. The way things are it is noticeable that those who participated in stealing the election are using the back doors with public stolen money to retain power. In such instances chances for free and fair election cannot be guaranteed. However, it is just right and fair that those who are suspects at the ICC Hague must not be listed as Presidential candidates. The Law is very clear on this. We await to know who participated in slaughtering of people during the 2007/8 and this is by all means a matter that must not be for debate. Kenya cannot afford to be bloody because those who have tasted power hold on it like it is their personal belonging......These are some of the reasons why Kenya is dissintegrating and Trust is erroding amongst Kenyans people paving ways for criminality and terrorism and this will not be tolerated........No one is above the law and all must abide by the same law and play by the same rules equally without any discrimination or favor..........People must wake up to face reality........ Judy Miriga Diaspora Spokesperson Executive Director Confederation Council Foundation for Africa Inc., USA http://socioeconomicforum50.blogspot.com Annan urges Kenyans to registerMonday, December 3, 2012 - 00:00 -- BY EUGENE OKUMU  Kofi Annan at the Kenya National Dialouge and Reconciliation conference yesterday Phot/Jeptum Chesiyna The committee of experts that brokered a power sharing deal between PNU and ODM during the 2007 general election have expressed optimism over the ongoing voter registration exercise. The committee's chairman, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said that registration will give Kenyans the opportunity to vote in the government they want.
"This [registration] is a unique opportunity for Kenyans to help build a wonderful government," Annan said. He further congratulated the IEBC chairman Ahmed Isaack Hassan for the great work the commission is doing and urged Kenyans to come out and and support the exercise by registering. "I want to congratulate the chairman and his team for the work they're doing here and around the country, but they can't do it alone. They need every Kenyan," he said.
Former Tanzanian president Benjamin Mkapa also encouraged Kenyans to register. "The registration process is going on well, but it could be better. We urge Kenyans to go and register in order to choose the kind of government they want," he said.
The process that started on November 18 has 15 days left and has registered mixed results with some areas having high voter turnout, while others have low numbers.
IEBC chairman Hassan urged people to come out and register because the process will not be extended. "We don't have the luxury of time. I urge people to come out and register in large numbers because there is no extension to this process," Hassan said.
On the issue of voter registration in the diaspora, Hassan said that the commission has decided to start with Kenyans in the East African region.
Hassan said, "The commission has decided to register Kenyan diaspora in the East African regions to start with. This is because the process has faced logistical and technical issues. It will not be a popular decision, but will be amended with time."
A group calling itself New Vision Kenya had moved to court seeking orders to compel the IEBC to set up more polling stations in the Diaspora and ensure they vote in the polls. Annan, Mkapa Deny Meddling In Kenyan Affairs African Union (AU) Panel of Eminent Personalities members Kofi Annan and Benjamin Mkapa on Monday denied claims they are meddling in Kenya's internal affairs. Annan, a former UN Secretary-General, and Mkapa, a former Tanzanian President, are members of the Annan-led panel which brokered the peace talks that ended the 2007 post-election violence, culminating in the formation of Kenya's Grand CoalitionGovernment. The violence was sparked by the disputed election in which incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner by the now disbanded Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK), to the chagrin of his key challenger, Raila Odinga. The ensuing violence left 1,300 people dead and 350,000 displaced. The pair brushed aside the meddling claims when they met Chief Justice Willy Mutunga as part of their three-day tour of Kenya which ends Tuesday. They described themselves as friends of Kenya, whose core mandate is to help the east African country in its reform process. The two leaders said they were in the country to observe the framework laid out by various institutions to ensure security, transparency and peace during the March 4, 2013 election period. ``We have been engaged since 2008. A lot has happened and as we look forward to the next elections, I am sure most Kenyans are hoping for free and fair elections and we as friends and people of goodwill wish the country well. ``There are lots of goodwill to the people of Kenya in the outer world and these people would want to see this happen. ``That is what has kept us engaged in the process over the years, and that is what we are here to encourage as we move towards March 2013," he said. The pair said they actively participated in the mediation process and were determined to ensure Kenya succeeds in its efforts to restore its institutions, especially through democratic elections. Some politicians, especially presidential aspirants Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, have been critical of Annan's frequent visit to Kenya, at times accusing him of favouring certain presidential aspirants. Uhuru and Ruto are among the initial six Kenyan suspects, whom the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecution suspected of playing key roles in the post-election violence. Other suspects were former Police Commissioner Hussein Ali, former Head of Public Service and Secretary to The Cabinet Francis Muthaura, broadcast journalist Joshua Sang and Industrialisation Minister Henry Kosgey. The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber 2 acquitted Ali and Kosgey, citing lack of sufficient evidence, but ruled that Uhuru, Muthaura, Ruto and Sang should answer crimes against humanity charges at The Hague from March 11, 2013. Unlike other ICC suspects who are held in custody at The Hague, the Kenyan suspects are free and will only be held in custody if they breach the terms and conditions given by the ICC. In the meantime, Uhuru and Ruto have crafted a pre-poll alliance in which Uhuru will be the presidential contender and Ruto his running mate. Annan was the one who forwarded to ICC the envelope containing the names of people suspected to have played key roles- masterminding and funding- the violence. The envelope was presented to High Court Judge Philip Waki, who led the Commission of Inquiry into the post-election violence. Chief Justice Mutunga assured the two leaders that the Judiciary had seriously considered the elections and was ready to handle any disputes arising therefrom. |
