On behalf of InformAction and AfriCOG, I am pleased to invite you to the launch of a website called, “The People’s Court” tomorrow Friday April 12, at 10:00am at The Sarova Stanley Hotel.

I am sorry for the incredibly short notice in getting this to you, but I hope that some of you will attend or send representatives to the event as a sign of your support for openness, accountability, and the freedom of expression and information.

The website is a joint project between AfriCOG and InformAction and is an attempt to present in public all the evidence around the recent elections. Some of that is from the cases filed at the Supreme Court, but it will also include material and information from citizens, observers and others. Citizens will be provided a location to post /Number to send text messages in order to submit any information and evidence they gathered so that the complete truth on the recent elections can emerge.

Importantly, The People’s Court will be an accountability mechanism on the IEBC and the Supreme Court. Analysis of the Court’s decision will be posted on the website hoping to engender critical and constructive discussions on why they took the decision that they did, in the face of the evidence that will be presented.

The People’s Court gives the public unique access to all the evidence filed at the Supreme Court in the Civil Society petition challenging the election process.

By inviting citizen participation, we aim to make institutions accountable and uphold the high democratic standards of the constitution. We also hope that the website will be used as a forum for debate and opinion, celebrating freedom of expression in Kenya and our vibrant tradition of democracy activism.

Kindly share this with other colleagues who may be interested.

Kind regards,

starting in the next 10 minutes, are they aware of the mars group initiative http://election.marsgroupkenya.org/ that seems to be using facts rather than 'skewed evidence'.... will the IEBC provide counter evidence to this busy body's court?

Since this case has already been heard and determined by the highest court in the land, wouldn't this be regarded to be some sort of contempt of court since the aim seems to be to trash their ruling?

analysis according to who?

if mars group has already conducted an audit and iebc has committed to doing the same, sielewi ni nini watu wanataka.

people will start venting and this will just push us back instead of moving forward
