Not surprised.......actually, the surprise here is, how did Mutahi Ngunyi see the resigning of this witch days after the 8/8 elections?


Wakora Network was real my fren. Her exit was very much expected and mitigated via the election bill. Wouldn't be surprised if chebu follows suit...chess is a smart game

As they say, if you cant manage the heat, keep off the kitchen.

IEBC is a high octane job and not for the faint hearted. You can imagine what goes on in Chilobas mind when he is busy at his desk and some morons are shouting outside that he must go.

Next!

Tough circumstances. Her statement shares he position. But for the greater good, Kenya needs this elections - who waits for the clouds never sows.

Politicians are not perfect; other alternative options leave the country in much greater harm.

True. Shouldn't she be able to exercise her conscience, leave her country peacefully? Last time she was frozen at the airport. Now this departure?

What is the state of the IEBC?
Divided.

Can changes still be made at the IEBC to salvage the situation?
No.

Is IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati a man under siege?
Chairman Chebukati is a very well-meaning person. He has a temperament to be able to be a leader, but he is a leader under a siege.

Do you realise some will use this interview to justify scrapping the election?
We must get to a point where we are able to speak the truth whether that truth hurts NASA or Jubilee, but it is the truth

Envisage, going back to Kenya in the forseeable future?
No. I don't feel safe enough to be able to go back home. I haven't been feeling safe being there. This is not what I thought it was ever going to end up as a job.


My conclusion: politicians are ever divided; the country is divided, Wazua is divided, and therefore IEBC is completely divided.

I personally think being a commissioner at the IEBC is a thankless job! terrible work environment - trying to run elections in an environment that is deficient of trust. What she did was prudent. why should she be a party to what she disagrees with? People think of the commission as monolithic - but if you are always attacked... you dig in... they are people as well! they will "dig in". commissioners and commission staff are also humans! they have emotions!
Way out? My opinion... SCoK should either suo motu or otherwise pronounce itself on this matter! Perhaps the SCoK has learnt that ... they need to accept that Judges like Commissioners and Commission staff are still humans - they can make mistakes. Judges called this one wrong! They got us into this mess! We were happy to celebrate "first in Africa to do XXX" and not realize that it's the pioneers have arrows in their backs! it's the second mouse that actually eats the cheese! Being first is not good!

You have to wonder how desperate someone has to be to agree to do some jobs. Mimi hii serekali siwezi fanya hata hio polling clerk. At least now she knows she's safe.

Wacha sisi tuendelee hapa kumsengenya but we won't be finding her without one hand somewhere in Mogotio.

Whereas I agree with you,my beef with her is the timing.Why wait till now?She should have left earlier.This makes her a suspect in the bigger scheme of things.Couple this with leaked emails from Chair to Chilobae and you see her true intensions.

Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.
