Antonyms - alien, foreign; accidental, coincidental, incidental; acquired, adscititious; superficial, surface; exterior, external when I say the acknowledgement slip has no inherent meaning or legal basis - i don't say it does not have meaning - I am basically saying you and others have given it meaning as opposed to it not having an intrinsic meaning.

To the nerdy Matiang'i (Bless his Soul) A members of of this society, the @Masukumas of this world, this little piece of paper has no intrinsic, inherent value. This is irrespective of the money, intellectual property rights, and other resources expended to produce this inherently worthless piece of paper. To the majority of us Matiang'i (Bless his Soul) D citizens, our money or actions remain useless for the next thirty days unless we can produce this all important piece of paper. How inherently important it is is underlined by Landlords in certain areas refunding rent money and evicting anyone not producing this piece of paper.

It is, however, my personal way of expressing my appreciation of the good work this Statesman is doing. This is, of course, until he does something extremely stupid and falls from grace. In addition, for those that have passed away, I pray that May The Good Lord Rest Their Soul in Eternal Peace or RIP.

So the narrative behind the "acknowledgement slip" went something like this. Side 1: the law does not require that we give them something after reg. Let's not give them anything. Side 2: that won't fly... we need to give them "something" so that they feel registered. A token. Side 1: but we cannot give them a voters card. Side 2: let's call this something else... a... aacknowledgement skip. Side 1: that will work. So I'm your possession is a useless document given to you when you registered. I threw mine away as soon as I got it. Why? Coz I know it's useless.... cost money but It's pointless... I still voted. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Why? Coz I know it's useless.... cost money but It's pointless... I still voted. Read the sentences above out LOUDLY. Roll the words in your mouth and taste the true meaning of what they denote. In your continued play with semantics, you reveal a penchant for narcissism that is utterly nauseating and a disdain for the common man out there on the dusty, sun drenched world. In your vanity and conceit, you fail to appreciate that for the next thirty days or so, it will not be about "I still voted" you. It is about the hunger ravaged Kenyan Citizens who will be denied food aid merely because they do not possess this piece of "useless paper". I have nothing personal against you. I truly do not. But please, don't push it, and that is not a threat.

FROM THE IEBC WEBSITE
How do you register as a voter?
An eligible voter must present himself or herself to the registration officer with his/her original identification documents at the designated registration centre during working hours.
The applicant fills the Application for Registration form (Form A)
Registered voters will be issued with a registration acknowledgement slip bearing the voter′s details.
However, this slip will not be a requirement for voting.
2. When can someone be denied registration?
When you are under 18 years of age
When you are not in possession of the original ID card or a valid Kenyan passport
When one is un-discharged bankrupt
When you have been found guilty by an election court or reported to be guilty of any election offence during the preceding five years.
If a competent court declares you to be of unsound mind
3. Is an eligible voter allowed to register more than once?
No! A person is only allowed to register once as a voter in a constituency or registration centre of his or her choice. It is an offence to register more than once.
4. What is the penalty of registering more than once?
Persons who have registered more than once are liable on conviction, to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand Kenya shillings or imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both. Such persons shall be barred from participating in the immediate election and the next that follows.
5. Can a person transfer as a voter to another registration centre or constituency?
YES! A person may transfer as a voter to another registration centre of his or her choice within the registration period
