I voted for President and Gov not senator or Mp or MCA, it was a waste of time for me. I know people who opted not to vote for the President because they neither prefered Kenyatta or Raila, but voted for MP and Gov. Why should that be rocket science? I placed the unmarked papers in the ballots. Kwani ni lazima?

I expect sobriety when senate convenes today to debate amendments. I actually think the Senate will find a middle ground where parliament totally failed ( Assuming that idiots like Bony do not go thumping their bony chests). If this happens, then, it will be prove enough that we do not require the ever expensive Mpigs!

Mahegoat... despite your name - you have always seemed to me like an intelligent fellow. Why do you constantly mix the two mattersI what happens at the polling station IN voting day and what happens during the preparation of the roll? kushikwa means 2 things... 1) AFIS will nab you if you attempt to register multiple times. 2) you will be removed from the roll of registered voters and will be placedon supplementary roll of people who if show up are to be arrested. The enforcement of the last stage of action subject to the whims of the polling station staff in the same way deceased voters can vote but they cannot add you to the list of registered voters. Niambie.. unapotelea wapi.

the black book was during the ECK era. the green book was an IEBC creation. We are in the IEBC era. Let me explain it's basis and how it came into use. So the register was biometric and all data had to be captured on the electronic system. I know for a fact some of these places had issues with registration machines. Some machines crashed and some of the biggest noise makers now in CORD would not be on the register if the greenbook was not in place. Why - law of large numbers. in a group of a couple 10s of thousands of staff some one will not follow procedure. Some fellow will not back up the data as expected and if it happens that that machine crashes and you did not backup the register - what should happen to the data of all those who had registered and are already home? in elections we say - when you find yourself in such a situation it is better to err on the side of inclusion! why voting is a right in the same league as right to life and picking a spouse. The enforcement of polling day procedures is key to having the process of inclusion working well. P.S. Just confirmed with my source - several persons were arrested in 2013 when they registered multiple times and showed up to vote. So ambia hao majamaa waRegister ovyo ovyo - utapatikana... utakula ugali wa serikali unless P.O ni rela wako secondly, if you indeed appeared on the black book of registered voters during the ECK days and were allowed to vote multiple times - did they mark your finger with indelible ink? if you managed to convince them (I am guessing multiple polling stations) not to mark you as voted already - what was the point of even having you on the black book in the first place. If you convinced them to ignore your entry in the supplementary roll of persons to be arrested when they show up to register - why do you even need to be registered in the 1st place? I have heard of narratives from strongholds that ikifika time fulani - those who have not showed up to vote actually 'vote'. Why engage in the charade of being in the black book in the first place if you can still vote. Let's pause for a while and ask ourselves. How many people were on the supplementary list of persons without biometrics? (due to various system failures?) there were some 45k cases in that range during the last registration cycle - this represented 0.3% of the register. we are not even told if these people showed up to vote in the first place. So if 0.3% of the register make akina Kethi go to court and zusha about the integrity of the whole register - why do we think denying a sizable population the oppotunity to vote is any sort of compromise? elections are for people not for politicians.

Must you become a fool when you join GoK?
