Good morning gentlemen. Thought this matter deserves a thread of its own.
Much as am a NASA diehard, the escalation of tension over this matter doesn't sit well with me.
Can IEBC explain its rationale for appealing ? Give examples from 2013 where it was necessary to adjust inaccurate figures from constituencies.
Is there time to anchor in the elections act the circumstances under which IEBC can adjust figures ?
@maka, @masukuma, could you weigh in on this debate.
Constitution says IEBC shall 'tally and verify'. Methinks the election act should have defined 'verify' and circumstances under which iebc can make corrections. But not to worry, if status quo remains and NASA wins, this will be the very ground why the result will be nullified Ain't the returning officer at the constituency,part & parcel of IEBC? If not, who then is IEBC? If they follow what the law says, why will the results be nullified?

What we find worrying is seeing the concerted effort to revert to status quo. Don't IEBC have more pressing matters to attend to ? And we hear of attempts to cherry pick the bench to hear the matter.

Hata mimi listening to Muthama couldn't help but started to rethink about my strategy on disaster preparedness That how the rally was successful They were talking some nasty ish. Clearly they are determined to cause trouble Link? you cant have whatever results announced wherever as the final number, there has to be a central point where verification will be performed before final announcement. i.am.back!!!!

Constitution says IEBC shall 'tally and verify'. Methinks the election act should have defined 'verify' and circumstances under which iebc can make corrections. But not to worry, if status quo remains and NASA wins, this will be the very ground why the result will be nullified Ain't the returning officer at the constituency,part & parcel of IEBC? If not, who then is IEBC? If they follow what the law says, why will the results be nullified? We don't have a president in each constituency. That's why constituency RE's can't announce who the duly elected president. Iebc, whose authority is vested in the commissioners only can tally and verify. If they don't verify b4 announcing, then the result can be challenged. The constitution gives them mandate to verify the result.Any law or ruling to the contrary is a nullity in law

Against which source documents will they verify the result? Isn't it the same form 34 filled and signed by the presiding officer at a polling station ? The same one read and announced at the polling station ? It's very simple. Presiding officers are usually local teachers. They know they are small fish. They have never agreed to election malpractices. Because they know they will easily be offered as sacrificial lambs. They have no godfathers to protect them. IEBC bosses on the other hand know they can get away with anything. Therein lies the rationale behind the current push to vary results. ION, shouldn't election rigging​ be a treasonable offence ?

Am happy with the court ruling. I will ensure that the Mathioya RO announces 200K votes for Uhuru! Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne

Verification: 1) iebc receives results from constituencies. 2) they check to confirm the number of valid votes in every polling station doesn't exceed registered voters. 3) They do arithmetic check to confirm constituency tally is correct. 4) in case of errors these are corrected (and records kept) b4 doing the national tally.
