We have a big collective weakness in our nascent value system - We habitually want to sweep under the carpet errors and mistakes and put up brave faces pretending this are perfect. That's why you will see families enjoying ill gotten wealth from proceeds of corruption brought home by the mzee of the house and collectively the same family turning up in church and actively engaging in front line church activities. You will find parents harbouring a 'jambazi sugu' in their house but enjoying the proceeds of 'ujambazi' and when he is gunned down you find the same parents claiming the police wrongfully shot their son...examples are many.
My point here is grave aspersions are being cast on one of our integral institutions that is required to be above reproach and rather than wait and get facts we are caught up in a tribal contest specifically Luo vs Kikuyu but disguised as pro UK / anti Raila. Ladies and gentlemen the petition is against IEBC and not UK. UK was pronounced winner of the poll and can carry on with his duties. The debate we want is on IEBC. I have said here previously, I voted and was astonished by the mediocrity of the voting processes yet Hassan and team spent the whole year travelling and buying all sorts of gadgetry. Hassan at the same time spent the whole year shmoozing us telling us how well prepared they were for the elections! Remember this was the same guy asking for 35billion, thank God Githae and Kinyua refused with the money. I have a strong ICT background and have built systems that use biometric readers and the level of failure of IEBC voter identification was well ochestrated. They were using different devices and formats for identification on March 4th from what they used to capture finger prints in december during the registration! I actually laughed and asked the officers whether they were seriously interested in identifying us using biometric readers or it was a prank they were pulling on Kenyans (knowing kenyans have no clue on ICT on average) to which I was told to go ask Hassan since he was giving directives! In short I believe we ought to demand that Hassan and team leave office for gross waste of tax payers money and creating unnecessary anxiety and the divisions we have. All that was required was proper working of instruments and we would have now moved on on in the next process happy or chaffed by how each of our favorites performed.
Boss, there is even a whole thread congratulating the IEBC for a job well done!!!
Overally I agree with you.......been imploring many to wait for the so called 'useless' case to be thrown out!!!
