The Chairperson of the African Union Commission Urges the People of Kenya to Respect the Judgement of the Supreme Court (01.09.2017)

Opinion: Kenyatta calling “Magara a thug” at the Burma Market rally after Supreme Court ruling!

That the incumbent President Kenyatta are feeling disappointing today would be natural, that the incumbent Jubilee Party leader who was annulled today. That the Supreme Court has put the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission electoral procedures and their counting of the ballots. That was fraudulent and wasn’t just, therefore the ruling today was positive. I had little faith in the process as the ICT and the verification of votes through IEBC was suspect at least. However, the winner thinks otherwise and says this!

Uhuru Kenyatta speaks at rally after Supreme Court ruling at the Burma Market, Nairobi:

Let those five, six people know, since the Kenyan people will still decide, they should wait for us to act after the people have made their decision” (…) “We are keeping a close eye on them. We are keeping a eye close on them. But let us deal with the election first. We are not afraid” (…) [Chief Justice] Maraga and his thugs have decided to cancel the election. Now I am no longer the president-elect, I am serving president… Maraga should know that he is now dealing with the serving president” (Uhuru Kenyatta, 01.09.2017).

Seems like the incumbent cannot handle that other makes decisions then himself. Therefore, that Supreme Court Judges voted against him, seems to have hit his nerves. He is angry and calling the legal expertise of Kenya, thugs. Meriam Webster defines a thug: “a brutal ruffian or assassin : gangster, tough” (Meriam Webster – ‘Thug’ link: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thug). It should be flabbergasting that Kenyatta calls the highest legal minds in the republic as ruffian and as gangsters. He did this to his supporters at Burma Market, hours after the Supreme Court ruling. Starting his campaign for November 2017. The second campaign and Presidential Election.

President Kenyatta, the incumbent shouldn’t say that Maraga decided the election, the IEBC and the ones who decided to rig the vote. It wasn’t Maraga and the Supreme Court who made the IEBC use fraudulent numbers and publishing wrong declaration forms of the polling stations. Kenyatta should know what happen at Bomas and in the IEBC, as he has orders and had CS Joseph Nkaissery making sure the election went well. That until his death, the same with others who died in the days ahead of the August 8th 2017.

I am not shocked that President Kenyatta calls SCJ Magara a thug, a gangster and threaten him and his kind for their acts against him. The Jubilee Party and Kenyatta are now attacking the Supreme Court, because they didn’t follow his lead. Kenyatta has now taken on the Supreme Court, because they didn’t just obey his command. As of his statement as he says 6 people overturned the will of the people and the people has to wait to make their decision. This should already have happen, but the acts of the IEBC didn’t respect the ballots and the votes. They did not respect the will of the people, the will of the people was disrespected on the days after 8th August 2017.

Kenyatta should have acted with some honor. He started to campaign seconds after the verdict. He assaulted the Courts within hours. He said in the press conference that he disagreed with the Court, but respected it. So therefore, when he attacked them later at a rally, he is not acting in peace, but in direct calling them thugs. It is not like respect the judges and neither rule of law. When he SCJ Maraga being called out for doing what is just and right. That the rule of law, that the law and electoral commission was not following the constitution. Therefore, the ruling was a good one, a needed one, since the trust of IEBC been shattered, also the electronic evidence was worrying for the state of the respecting the votes.

Kenyatta should therefore acting different. He should be humble and not attack the Supreme Court, he should have thought of a remedy to gain popular support, not disgrace the Supreme Court Justices. This is just disrespectful. We would understand, that he feels a bit betrayed and being hurt by the verdict. That doesn’t mean he should address the judges in this manner. His own administration has had scandals upon scandals, both corruption and others with misuse of state reserves, that is on its own a crime, but some has gotten away with it. Therefore, he shouldn’t judge the judges, but stand up for what his government has done in his term. The Kenyatta and Jubilee haven’t been truthful or transparent.

Therefore, the ruling has had pivotal impact and taken away the direct power from Kenyatta. He has to campaign again and cannot get the same sort of cheating again to regain the throne. Kenyatta and the IEBC cannot run the same kind of electoral process within 60 days. Then the Kenyans will be played with again, the IEBC Portal and the process of the ballots has to righteous. Kenyans deserve a measured candidate who respects rule of law, not who puts himself above it. Like Kenyatta did today, that he is disappointed, that is fine and if he was disgruntled. That would been fine as well. If he was in sorrow over the ruling, that would be fine as well. But he should not call the ones who has taken the oath to withhold the Constitution. That is what the Supreme Court is doing.

So, can you please at your next rally Kenyatta, you might respect fellow brothers a bit more. Your own racket might be lost as well. Kenyatta your gravy-train of government supplies might dwindle away, because of reckless loans and the grand corruption happening on his terms. President Kenyatta should no better, but apparently he doesn’t. He just don’t care… Peace.

Opinion: Post Supreme Court ruling – The International Elections Observer’s statements show their blatant disregard of the public will concerning the Kenyan Presidential Election 2017!

I just have to this, it is sad but I have to. After the Supreme Court nullified the elections and the world had told Raila Odinga, no problem that you lose, just give up and let the Jubilee win. That is initially what Kenyan Press and what the international election observers said, as they praise the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) said the process was adorable and they wished it that it was their own baby. However, today it is verified by the judgement by Supreme Court of Kenya, which the Presidential Election has to be done again within 60 days. This is baffling considering the praise and the international words to National Super Alliance (NASA). That is why I have to show some quotes from these statements and report, so that the 20/20 hindsight can show their disregard of the public will and justice for each and single ballot. This cannot be dismissed, since this is also public and the organizations wants to be friendly with Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee. Look!

IGAD: “IGAD EOM has observed the process of the opening of polling stations, the tallying and counting at the same polling stations of the presidential vote. Based on what it has been able to observe, the IGAD EOM preliminary conclusion is that the general elections were conducted in a peaceful, orderly, and transparent manner and in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the Republic of Kenya. IGAD calls on all political parties and candidates to respect the will of the people of Kenya and to refrain from any act that might be of disruptive nature to the peace and stability of the country” (IGAD ELECTION OBSERVER MISSION – TO THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA – 9th August 2017, Nairobi, Kenya).

EAC: “The EAC Observer Mission would like to congratulate the people of Kenya for conducting a peaceful electoral process thus far. The Mission commends the IEBC for their professional conduct and the security agencies for ensuring that overall law and order prevailed throughout the electoral process observed. The Mission is gratified to see that isolated incidents and late opening of stations in some areas did not overshadow the peaceful conduct of the elections. As we are releasing this statement, collation and transmission of results is still ongoing in some parts of the country. The Mission hopes that the same atmosphere will prevail during the remaining stages of the electoral process” (THE EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY ELECTION OBSERVER MISSION TO THE 8 AUGUST 2017 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA, 10.08.2017).

Carter Center: “While the Kenyan people have spoken at the ballot box, the electoral process is still ongoing as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) continues to tabulate and finalize results. Until official results are announced, it is critical that all parties and candidates refrain from making declarations about the results” (…) “In light of these problems, the IEBC issued a statement on Aug. 9 calling for patience while the tallying process continued. In addition, the IEBC stated that the presidential results reported on the website were unofficial – the official results are those tallied at the constituencies. Citing complaints about the electronic results transmission system and other problems, opposition candidate Raila Odinga said that the tally of results at the national tally center was not legitimate and that he would not accept unsubstantiated results. Coupled with the trouble experienced in data transmission, these statements resulted in increased tension among his supporters and created concerns about a threat of violence in some areas of the country” (…) “The IEBC’s tabulation process, if fully implemented, allows for a high level of transparency and accountability. The IEBC should continue to collect and publish results transparently until the process is concluded, so that the overall integrity of the process can be verified. In addition, all parties and their agents should enjoy full access to the IEBC’s tallying processes at all levels so that any discrepancies can be reviewed and discovered” (Carter Center Preliminary Statement on the 2017 Kenyan Election, 10.08.2017).

These are some of the statements in the aftermath of 8th August 2017, after the polls and beginning of the counting. The striking similarities is evident and that the Election Observers, if they we’re either IGAD, EAC or Carter Center (USA), they saw most of the same and that they didn’t want to touch the hot-potato. They kept silent and instead praised the peace, but not the initial transparency. They did not entail the real issues of counting and tally process, which now been seen as so fraudulent, that the Supreme Court has nullified the IEBC process. With that in mind. Reading these statements today shows the placed arrogance and election tourism done by observers. Instead of writing this, they should have water-skiing in Mombasa or gone hiking at Mount Kenya. This here is insulting now. That IGAD commends the IEBC, that means that IGAD will proclaim anyone, as long as it is member state. EAC will do the same and without any doubt. Carter Center will stand by the process, because the belief in it, even when in doubt. That because the Carter Center rather stop violence, than getting justice served, therefore addressing Odinga directly in their statement.

Now that within 60 days before next Presidential polls, the Election Observers better stay home, their legitimacy is also shattered. Not only the IEBC, but also IGAD, EAC and Carter Center, better be home and not away. They have no insights or understanding of the fraud and the rigging. If not they looked the other way and praised the elections for peace, but not for procedure or justice. That is devastating, but also the mere fact. The days ahead and the new plans to hold elections will come. There will be some foreign election observer’s mission, but they have to be honest and not lie like last time. We cannot handle to see that again. You can lie once, and get away with it. However, not twice, because then it is a pattern and your devious ways are displayed. Peace.

Opinion: The long walk for Odinga continues, as it is still hope for him to reach Canaan!

There has been doubts and with history in mind, there is enough justification. There is enough burned down bridges, which has now disappeared into hopelessness, but today there was something significant that appeared. The Supreme Court of Kenya annulled the fraudulent and fake tally of the Presidential Election and the result giving incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta a second term. Surely, the ones celebrating and honoring the man must feel foolish today, especially the likes of Pierre Nkurunziza who has celebrated Kenyatta twice in August.

Well, the Jubilee and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) must feel heartbroken today; the token of their misfortune, the level of electoral fraud was verified. The results that gave the President another go, was not up to the level of the Constitution and the laws for elections. This must be a defeat and a victory for justice.

That the National Super Alliance (NASA) can celebrate today is so right, the reports given to the Supreme Court of activity without any consideration of the implications, shows by all errors and planned rigging that the Jubilee and Kenyatta was bound to win. The numbers, the systematic operations of forging forms and numbers on the public portal, was in question early on and is now proven to be true.

The questions of hacking, of illegal operations that was made to count in favor of Jubilee, is now also open to the market. It is not talk anymore, but verified by court. The petition victory has signaled that James Orengo and the NASA team was right. There was many grave issues and insults to democracy, to the public and their votes. The ballots was not counted and taken care of, they were insulted and extended grave misconduct in favor of Kenyatta.

This has now been overturned and give way to new polls within 60 days. Hope someone trustworthy and someone who has the capacity to run sufficient elections can run it. Someone who want to be transparent and Nobel in request of justice for every ballot. What is worse is that all international observers was saying that the elections was free and fair. However, the national and own republic’s Supreme Court said that was a lie today. The ones that was in Kenya in August, had better not arrive back in October, there lies has now been proven to the whole world.

We can only hope the just results and the ballots are respected in the second round K.O. That also Odinga who didn’t cheat gets his chance of getting to Canaan. The respect of the voters and their ballot is vital. That didn’t happen at the first round of Presidential Election in August 2017. I hope that that can happen now. There are many questions remaining, who ordered the results and who would really enjoy spoils, other than Kenyatta and his Party. Who would earn fortunes on the blatantly disregard of the people’s will?

Because they should pay for the forged attempt of thieving the republic! The victory might be in vain, if the same sort of people get to put their cards into play in the second round. We got to hope, but even as the deck is stacked on the table. There are still to this day enough actors at play, who can forge and play foul. When they have already tried once, they might try twice, especially if they do not pay for their acts against the law. Peace.
