This a damage control strategy by CORD ie rush to court with a useless case now that their fraud was uncovered by the iebc. They are just looking for more opportunities to shift the blame from themselves to the judiciary and iebc, just like they did with the SC ruling.
I followed the proceedings and somehow agreed with CORD's version today.The point is, was it PROCEDURAL for IEBC to deny the gal her right?
Harun Ndubi: ''IEBC had duty to register voters and the method used should not be used to disenfranchise a voter. If a passport is expired, it is invalid for travel but can be used for identification purposes unless it is revoked. How can an expired passport and a photocopy of an ID fail to identify a voter?''
SOWETO: ''There was a conflict of interest and an actual bias. Once the IEBC said that Kethi wasn’t registered yet she insisted that she was a voter then the whole process is under question. Even after a complaint was lodged, IEBC did not make effort to contact Kethi. This poses question whether IEBC has something against Kethi or her party. IEBC was complainant and accused in the tribunal proceedings. A man cannot be a judge in his own case''.
James Orengo: The IEBC Tribunal was basically defending itself during the Committee hearing. “I would invite the Court to hold that there was no fair hearing and procedural error.”
