Between as we yap about due process in removing those corrupt skunks their chicken giver counterparts in UK are in jail through a judicial process with corresponding evidence passed to kenyan authorities n you dare talk of due process.
2 Things
Firstly, I come from a school of thought that basically says... The reason we have laws - is so that we can have a predictable way of resolving disputes! OK? We all agree that laws are made by our representatives and we all sign up for them. The law is also meant to protect individuals from others. A mob cannot just walk into my house and eject me! regardless of how justified they feel.
Secondly, the reason we have elections is so that we also find a way of "fighting" without going to war and killing each other. That is why elections are important things because in their place we have real war i.e. getting power by sheer force - Libya during Gadaffi style.
So if we are basically saying lets do this removal extra judicially - what does that mean to the rest of the law is opportunistically/discretionally applied. We have all said... "IEBC IS CORRUPT, IEBC IS THIS...IEBC IS THAT" based on nothing other than claims on an email by a 3rd party on 1-2 MEMBERS OF THE WHOLE COMMISSION! Nothing else!! Has there been a judicial process to determine whether the said claim is correct/factual or not - THERE HAS BEEN NONE!
What is now happening is exactly what Raila called for in 2007... "Mass Action" when he and his team determined for themselves that the process is not fair to them - we shall take up the law into our own hands and bully these people into submission. if that works - WTF do we have the law for? if a Mob can just have their way?
if we cannot follow the law - why follow elections? if the strongest/loudest wins - why have the facade of having an election?
