Lawyer Ngatia 9+5=16 days!!!!

.......IEBC has bogus lawyers and Ngatia has to talk for them all the time!!!!

Ms Kilonzo is like her father; talks with much confidence to scare opponents but her arguments [like her father's] are hollow.

Eg; she has just said that the presidential returning officer has custody of the presidential register. There is NO SUCH document!

One register was used for the six elections. May be she did not vote, so she doesn't know how the process went.

Easy...fising expedition

The application was argued by Rachier and Amollo and prayer 3 if I remember well was a prayer for registers!I am listening to Ngatia and unless I havent forgotten Evidence law in respect of Notices to Produce.Kuna the soft copies of the register: that is secondary evidence, wanting the register themselves that is primary evidence. And if I remember Section 69 well if an adverse party knows that he will be required to produce it then they must prepare themselves to produce it!That is learnt in second year!Surely this Supreme Court MUST stamp its authority...

Comparing a parliamentary and Presidential petition to a criminal case is wrong. The circumstances underpinning the two branches of law is different. One thing that is very important to note in this case is that THERE IS NO SPECULATION. The soft copies of the registers which is secondary evidence were provided by IEBC. What Kethi Kilonzo and Oraro are doing is to simply request (buttressed by the overriding powers of the Supreme Court and Section 69 of the Evidence Act) for the primary evidence namely the actual registers. Forms 34 and 36 have already been provided and there is a variance in the figures thereat and those in the registers. Having understood that point then one needs to know that the agents of all political parties had their own tallying going on during the elections. At the close of the election all the agents from the various parties and in thier polling stations transmitted to the Constituency agents and then to the party agents in Nairobi the figures they had noted. By the end of day of 5th of March the agents for TNA and ODM had their respective figures for the Presidential race. CORD say that their figures differ from what was declared. That is the substance of the Petition. Asking for the primary registers is something that actually should be done by the IEBC constitutionally.
