That was actually what he started with and said that if there any deviation from the process as laid down in the law, that should not be taken as a small issue. Its the same line of thought that the Ombudsman guy is pursuing.

The PROCESS cannot invalidate the will of the people. The will of the people is expressed when they vote- put their ballot in the paper, and that has to be protected as it is a Constitution right. The process, how the IEBC tallies and the technology used is in the Elections law, and that is inferior to the constitution. The Judges are also cognizant of the politics. They may reprimand IEBC on some omissions, but would not make a ruling that will open floodgates for losers to flock the court on process issues. My 2 cents as a layman "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

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.

That stupid "11% constant" argument has reared it's head and Raila has this "i told you so" smile.........Someone clearly lied to the ignorant old man. Can't wait to have that torn apart. BTW, Regeru is missing in the new episode. Where went the good lawyer? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The Court will not have the time to do figure by figure comparison of 40,883 (34A) Reporting Polling Stations to 290 (34B) unless NASA has specifics. In a controlled Court environment, Can IEBC be ordered to simulate/re-transmit figures from polling stations randomly i.e. the returning officers sit at Kasarani/Bomas for a day with KIEMS kits and 34s and do the process again. The rest of us "party agents" can sit on the tarrace watching Sinema in big screen? I want to meet Mr 11% in person I AM trust in GOD, I AM belief in THYSELF

Missed out on the live IT ruling. ButI have watched it and it seems very fair. The court has excellent advisors. Muites confidence is telling. Nothing to hide "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore .

Waiting how the third respondent(almost becoming a lawyer)will respond This is a matter of he said this he said that and interpretation.

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 'One headache for famous medieval holy people was that someone might murder you to acquire your body parts for the relics trade'

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

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"  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. “Invest in yourself. Your career is the engine of your wealth.”

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
