In my view, Paul mwangi's submissions if adopted by the court which I highly think they will, will result in the August 8th election being declared null

Now they're saying that some ballot papers may have been printed in Kenya. Is there an end to their claims?

I think the Maraga court is just entertaining this to (i) avoid criticism and seem fair (ii) defuse any fuel that NASA might later deploy for mass protests from appearance of directives that seem harsh even if they are procedurally correct
Let the show continue ..

I think Nasa are not in court to win the case

It's to convince supporters that the election was flawed.

Then have them charged for the next round of Monday demos to remove IEBC, Supreme Court, change electoral laws to maybe include an electoral college as recently espoused by Omtata.

In this college system, whoever wins a county's votes, wins all the county's electors' votes like in the US

Brace for it guys, coming soon


You may have a point. I have been thinking about the massive Judicial and political onslaught that NASA has mounted against institutions to date and it simply doesn't make sense unless as a strategy to justify yet more 'reforms.' Of course it would have also been useful folder if the elections results were close but they were not.

My only question is who will carry these new 'reforms' forward. The only one with the cojones to do so is RAO and I don't really see him sitting on the tarmac and inhaling teargas again. He is just tired and simply wants a face saving way out from all this. The other clowns will be laughed out of town.

I expect Ahmednasir to hit Raila hard in that regard. Always breathing down the neck of institutions, hounding officers out based on his political calculations, but coming a cropper nevertheless.

Was it ballot papers or some forms - 34A&B.

couch potato Lawyer in action... My understanding is that you must not only point to instances of impropriety and them "extrapolate" the across everything but rather prove at each instance on it's own!
since our basis is in the common law and thus we have the doctrine of "Omnia praesumuntur rite et solemniter esse acta" d'oh! that states that where an "official act" has been done, it will be presumed, until the contrary is proved, that the said act "complied with any necessary formalities" and that the person who did it was "duly appointed". The election process is a process of many official acts... 40k + 291 + 1 such acts - so following the said doctrine each "official act" is assumed to be proper until proven to be improper and this impropriety should not be extrapolated to others.

QUOTED FROM NATION NEWSPAPERS:

"Ballots used in the August 8 presidential election were not the ones printed by the Dubai firm contracted by IEBC, lawyers for Nasa leader Raila Odinga have said.

In his opening submission to the Supreme Court, lawyer James Orengo said analysis of the ballots used in the election had shown that most of them fell short of statutory security requirements, suggesting that they may have been printed locally.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) gave the Sh2.5 billion ballots printing tender to al Ghurair of Dubai.

Mr Orengo, who is also the lawyer from Siaya, further said most of the documents IEBC had submitted to the court as instruments they used to declare the presidential results fell short of legal requirements.

Some of the security features that were to be contained in forms 34A and 34B are water marks, anti-copying features and others that can only be detected under UV light."

Of course it would have to take the UN to conduct the election as Raila cant trust anybody here in Kenya.

So far
No claims of ballot stuffing.
No claims on voter identification fraud (i.e unregistered or dead voters voting)
No claims on votes counting

The only response i'm interested to hear is the IEBC response to issues raised on form 34A's and cases where votes for Raila were reduced and those of Uhuru increased.

Does he have the facts? Were there 11000 34A missing at the time of the anouncement? Are they quoting the Acts in completion? Clever lawyers using half truths. NASA'a continuous questioning of IEBC actually put the body on the alert thus eroding their chance to have a case
