[wanabidii] PREDICTION: KENYA’S SUPREME COURT WILL RESTORE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE & RULE OF LAW IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS TO SAVE THE COUNTRY

Most Kenyans would agree with me when I say enough is enough! Kenyans are tired of being the butt of electoral chicanery and being scammed out of their political will by electoral commissions working in cahoots with the political elites every election cycle, this has to stop now, once and for all! This is not sustainable! Whether IEBC rigs elections deliberately or by sheer incompetence or a combination of both is irrelevant at this point, it just has to stop. And it is NOT about NASA or Jubilee or Raila Odinga or Uhuru Kenyatta; it is not just the candidates who are robbed of victory but the Millions and Millions of Kenyan voters whose only chance of expressing their political voice is once every five years and faithfully perform their civic duty by lining up for hours and hours at polling stations and finally casting that ballot and then hopelessly watch the electoral commissions repeatedly rob them and make a mockery of their democratic right to elect the leader(s) of their choice, time and time again. We demand the truth, we want the will of the people respected and upheld, an accurate count of ALL votes and each VOTE counted exactly as the voter intended it to be counted.

This culture of presidential results contested every time Kenyans has become too much of a common theme for our society to bear, it is unsustainable.  I blame this pattern that repeats itself every election cycle like clockwork on weak laws and frankly, a weak or compromised judiciary, this phenomenon should be a think of the past by now.  That we have an un-accountable and un-elected so called "Independent" Electoral & Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that makes rules as it goes and acts as the law unto itself has significantly eroded public confidence in the electoral process in Kenya is an understatement. I expect the Court, which has original and final jurisdiction to assert its authority and reverse this trend.… Continue reading
