IEBC Retreat in Naivasha (11.09.2017)

DP Ruto claims the IEBC did some mistakes, but still says SCOK are run by Con-Men; Instead of reforming the IEBC!

On the 9th September of 2017, this at Uhuru Park in Nairobi. The rally that the Jubilee Party hold today. The Fresh Elections that is happening the 17th October 2017 after the Supreme Court ruling that annulled the Presidential Election on the 8th August. Since then, the Jubilee Party and their cronies has attacked the Supreme Court. They have gone after the judges and now they are turning to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), I would have considered that the first option. Since they we’re the ones rigging the elections and counting of the ballots. Still, the Deputy President are still blaming the Supreme Court. Just take a look!

Deputy President William Ruto said today: “You cannot sacrifice the will of Kenyans at the altar of the mistakes of IEBC” (Kenya Citizen TV, 09.09.2017). The supreme Court was used by conmen. They conspired through treachery, conmanship and deceit to overturn the will of 15 million Kenyans. We are watching you my friends” Ruto said while addressing the crowd. “You should come to your senses and apologise for this great evil you have done unto Kenyan,” Ruto further stated” (Osoro, 2017).

That Jubilee Party and DP Ruto are blaming con-men for involvement in the ruling. While he is also blaming weakly the IEBC. That they are to blame for the second elections this year. Since the Court actually nullified them. They used the tricks to steal from 15 millions Kenyans. It is insane and because of them, Jubilee and Ruto are now watching them!

Just like the Ruto hasn’t come with enough threats towards Supreme Court and now the IEBC. It’s like they are blaming someone else, instead of looking into the issues of the IEBC. Not like the Jubilee Party, Kenyatta and Ruto want to make the changes within the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), so that the Electoral Malpractice and Computer Manipulated Results. All of this should be an issue for Jubilee. Ruto and Kenyatta should respect the Court and their ruling. But they don’t! They attack them and call them “thugs” and now “con-men”!

DP Ruto should be concerned about the IEBC External Servers, the IEBC Portal and the lack of transparency considering the Declaration Forms from the Polling Stations. Combined with the IEBC Secretariat that continues to play with the public and unravel what went on before and during the 8th August polls for the Presidency. IEBC has crossed the Electoral Codes and breached them. Therefore, DP Ruto should step-up and change the practices. Ruto should work bipartisan with NASA to make sure people trust the IEBC. This wasn’t mere defaults and mistakes. The elections done and the counting, crossing of the will of the Kenyans during the recent election. As their ballots was used as tool to make sure Jubilee got the power, but not validate them in the announcing of the results.

DP Ruto, you should fixate on the Electoral Malpractices, instead of calling the courts ruled by con-men. Instead, Jubilee and Ruto should work to make sure people trust the IEBC and Supreme Court. Not making them look badder. Not try to defend IEBC and say it was mere mistakes. It was malpractice and to make sure the cronies hired their bosses who appointed them. Supreme Court did their duty and followed the law. Something IEBC should do as well. Jubilee should make sure the Electoral Codes and Systems are trustworthy.

That is lacking… lackluster and not really happening, because the status quo is benefiting Ruto and Jubilee. Peace.

Kenya: NCIC and UWIANO Platform for Peace Condemns Political Intolerance (08.09.2017)

Safaricom plays petty politics by issuing obstacles for NASA fundraising over their M-PESA Paybill!

Bob Collymore and Safaricom are going for the National Super Alliance (NASA), this is not a shock, but should been seen as an expected move. Since the letter dated to 5th September from Safaricom to NASA and Orange Democratic Movement is named “Usage of M-Pesa Paybill – 991444”. This is stating the affairs between the company and just have to appear as the Fresh Elections are going.

Sort of moves like this is to stifle the competition. Safaricom has in past been linked with the ruling regime and the incumbent. They have even avoided giving evidence in cases that might indict and prosecute fellow Jubilee members. That has occurred in the recent years. So that they are trying to salvage the funds and stop the fundraising would not surprise me either.

We refer to the M-PESA Paybill that you applied for in June 2017 to facilitate the raising of funds for the Presidential campaign. We note that the usage of the Paybill has now changed and the same is now being used for raising funds to adopt polling stations. This is contrary to the purpose for the Paybill that you indicated when applying for the Paybill. We therefore request that you provided us with written confirmation on the purpose of the Paybill and when the fundraising is ending” (Safaricom Limited, John Muchiri, 05.09.2017).

The Paybill which the NASA Party M-PESA Paybill is campaign contributions, as the party and coalition needs funds for the campaign that is lasting to 17th October 2017. This because the contributions and the support for the coalition is necessary. The Paybill are a perfect example of public support of NASA. Since the Mobile Money popularity and the way people are used to transfer money. Therefore, if the Safaricom Limited Compay are suspending the account and the Paybill. It will really hurt the NASA campaign. Clearly, they would do so to short-change the cash-funds the NASA. This all would be to help the cause of incumbent Kenyatta. Nothing else. But Collymore are connected with the Jubilee.

So it wouldn’t be surprising if Safaricom eventually did so. The Jubilee and Safaricom has worked together in the past and certainly wants to do so in the future. Odinga, ODM and NASA coalition clearly needs to work even close with the Telecom Company, but they should be fair. Since Safaricom knows about the Fresh Elections and would already know the usage of the funds raised. It is insane to say otherwise. This is political power-game by the company, who has not reissued any obstacles for Jubilee. So we know their loyalty. Peace.
