Last time I checked, SC directed IEBC to conduct fresh elections within the law, in 60 days. That means SC has confidence that IEBC, as currently constituted, can conduct elections within the law. I don’t expect SC, in their detailed ruling to purport to propose structural changes at IEBC since this will be interfering with an independent body.

That brings me to second point. NASA demands are absurd. To sample just a few:-

1. Media should be given access to all polling stations and tallying centers and directly announce the results – I thought media is free to access any of these? But if we legislate that they must be present in all polling stations, where will they get personnel? Who will pay the media? But more fundamentally, how can media announce results yet this is IEBC’s mandate?
2. Another printer other than Al Ghurair to be appointed- I thought the court already gave no objection for Al ghurair to print election materials for the last polls and this hasn’t been contested?
3. New returning officers to be appointed for all 291 constituences – How about existing ones? Terminate their contracts on what grounds? And how long does it take to recruit and train new officers through probation and to gain competence
4. Political parties to monitor IT infrastructure – why is IT at national center still an issue yet results at the constituency are final?
5. International experts to take charge of IT infrastructure – 50 yrs + after independence we cant trust our own? And are we Kenyans and IEBC still independent?
6. IEBC to disclose server fire wall configuration to NASA. Why? So they can hack if they want?
7. And so on.
So you can see all the NASA demands are absurd, outrageous and don't make sense. Finally, to add insult to injury, NASA are telling us there will be no elections, but not telling us what happens next. In fact this amounts to contempt of court which has mandated IEBC, as currently constituted to conduct fresh polls within the law in 60 days. We can only conclude they are rooting for constitutional crisis.

IEBC is an independent body. NASA doesn't have to be in the election, Jubilee can face 3rd Way Alliance. NASA thought Ekuru enjoining them was a good thing? It's their biggest thorn right now.

We are forgeting that nusu mkate was shared among the 47counties. Babu can just go cry in the toilet because on 17th ellectins will be held and a president will be announced

For NASA to boycott, they would have to write formally to iebc and say they now don't wish to participate. Iebc will then seek direction of the SC who had ordered the election. SC will call the parties for hearing, and arbitrate btwn the parties, but ensure either way there's an election, coz if there isn't, the SC would have played a role in plunging the country into constitutional crisis, nobody at SC would like to go down in history that route. But If naswa doesnt write formally to Iebc pulling out of the race, then the threats will just be treated as media reports. The earlier they write the better for them

That's why I said parliament should by now have drafted watertight legislation around management of presidential election results, to address the loopholes. But now, were at the mercy of SC, yet SC doesn't make laws
