Kenya: Cambridge Analyctica – “Summary on Data-Driven Behaviour Change” (29.10.2017)






WFP is ramping up emergency assistance there, planning to reach 500,000 of the most vulnerable by end-December, and many more early next year.
KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo, October 31, 2017 – A humanitarian catastrophe is looming in the conflict-ravaged south-central Greater Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the head of the United Nations World Food Programme warned yesterday as he wrapped up a four-day mission to the central African country that included a visit to Kasai. Some 3.2 million people in the region are severely food insecure, struggling to feed themselves and in need of assistance.
“As many as 700,000 babies and children could starve in Kasai in the next few months unless enough nutritious food reaches them quickly”, David Beasley said. “We need access to those children, and we need money – urgently.”
Kasai’s traditionally high rates of malnutrition were pushed higher following the eruption last year of inter-ethnic violence characterised by large-scale killing, the wholesale destruction of villages and crops, and the targeting of hospitals, clinics and schools. The region now accounts for more than 40 percent of the DRC’s 7.7 million severely food insecure.
WFP is ramping up emergency assistance there, planning to reach 500,000 of the most vulnerable by end-December, and many more early next year. Dozens more staff are being deployed, an additional 80 off-road trucks are being brought in to deliver food to remote areas, and the WFP-run United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), presently flying aid supplies and aid workers to seven locations in the region, is being expanded.
But WFP’s emergency operation, launched in August, has so far been financed by internal borrowings, and only one percent of the US$135 million required through mid-2018 has been secured from the international community.
While the violence in Kasai has diminished in recent weeks, banditry and extortion are commonplace. Moreover, in a region the size of Germany with multiple active militias and a road network that is largely impassable during the September-December rainy season, humanitarian access is set to remain a challenge.
WFP’s work in eastern North Kivu province, also witnessed by Beasley, is likewise constrained by access challenges and limited funding. Just 250,000 of the province’s one million displaced people – victims of two decades of conflict – are receiving assistance, and only half rations.
Much of DRC’s population is dependent on subsistence farming, and competition for land is often at the heart of its violence. Many conflict-displaced families who had returned to their villages in North Kivu and Kasai told Beasley they could not resume working their fields, such was their fear still of being attacked.
“I have met too many women and children whose lives have been reduced to a desperate struggle for survival”, Beasley said. “In a land so rich in resources, that’s heart-breaking. And it’s unacceptable.”
Beasley acknowledged donor concerns about limited return on investments in a better future for the Congolese people, noting that some governments have threatened to redirect such funding to countries where they say it will have more impact.
“I hear those concerns”, Beasley said. “But let’s not hold innocent women and children responsible for the failings of others.”
“What the brave people I met over the last few days want most of all is peace – peace to be able to grow their own food, to rebuild their lives and to build a brighter tomorrow for their children. It’s a simple, powerful message, and I have conveyed it to President Kabila, urging that he do his part to bring about much-needed change.”

“99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one
If you’re havin’ girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one – hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one
If you’re havin’ girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one” (Jay Z – ‘99 Problems’ of the Black Album, 2003).
Well, the day finally came, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) needed 4 days to count and rig the numbers to give the President some-sort of legitimacy. Even if the whole charade and the whole process is questionable. Nothing that Chairman Wafula Chebukati has done in October has been trustworthy, neither has any of the updates and counting of the votes. As well, as the turnout saga has been insane. There is nothing but 99 problems, but the turnout was one.
Uhuru Kenyatta, if he ordered it this way, he is a special kind of stupid. If he ordered it to be this way and to get this sort of a result. Than he is one of the 99 problems the IEBC had before and after the polls of 26th October. If you believe or as naive as you think this victory is credible. Then you are blind my friend. Just look at all the statements and official tweets inside the IEBC and you see their issues. The 26th October Election, just like the 8th August Election, should be nullified. The numbers are not trustworthy for the simple matter of the excessive boycott from the public. Therefore, the amount of voters of Kenyatta is insane.
So when Kenyatta proclaims this today:
“Fellow Kenyans, Here is the truth as recorded in our books. On August 8th, 15million Kenyans came out to vote. Of these 8.4 million Kenyans voted for me. On October 26th, 90% of the same voters came out to support my Bid. This was a Re-Validation of their General Will. A Statement of their National Intent in support of Jubilee as their government of choice. And all of this was done within the confines of the Rule of Law, and our Constitutional imperatives. For those who voted for Jubilee by way of Re-validating our August 8th victory, I thank you. Now we can begin the process of re-imagining our nationhood. But as we do so I must remind you of my commitment to the constitutional path and the Rule of Law. Put differently, my victory today is likely to be subjected to a constitutional test through the courts. And as I have demonstrated repeatedly, I will submit to this constitutional path no matter its outcomes” (Uhuru Kenyatta at Bomas after the Announcement, 30.10.2017).
You know something is wrong. The 99 problems will come to haunt this administration and continue to pursuit of justice after this abysmal affair. The election was a day for the history books, because the public showed their disregard of the IEBC and of Kenyatta. They showed their courage and will of intent of indifference. To not validate the Jubilee and Kenyatta with this Fresh Presidential Election.
The miracles is the numbers of the IEBC and how they have put them together. As they haven’t been put together in a grand way. That President Kenyatta and the IEBC are deluded is proven. That they are proclaiming that he got 98,26 % and 7,483,895 votes. All of that is a giant basket case to believe, when the KIEMS only registered 3,5 million voters. Therefore, that the President are getting over 7 million votes is like Jesus walking on water. How come a brother get double the total amounts of registered voters in their electronic system?
Let’s be clear, Kenyatta hasn’t won anything other than fictional election. He might be announced by the so-called official electoral body IEBC, but the public didn’t vote him in. The public didn’t offer him credit or give him their vote so he could represent them. The ones that is representing him is fictional numbers and pre-ticket ballot, ghosts and bots who was put on the Declaration Forms. Kenyatta should thread the waters carefully, since he is illegitimate and isn’t leading the republic in a sound way.
Kenyatta should think very well about how he wishes to end. Because this 26th October elections are not over. The aftermath is just beginning. If you thought the days in between the polls and today was hectic. The coming days will be too, as the petitions and the court cases will come in. As well as the Police and Army has to answer for their killings in NASA Strongholds. There aren’t justice to just silence that. The Jubilee Party cannot run away from how they have segregated the republic.
This is not a victory for Kenyatta, but what awaits the President is 99 problems, but let’s hope the bitch ain’t one! Peace.
Kenyatta, Uhuru – ‘ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY HON. UHURU KENYATTA, C.G.H., PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE FORCES DURING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE OCTOBER 26 FRESH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS ON 30TH OCTOBER 2017’ link: http://www.president.go.ke/2017/10/30/acceptance-speech-by-his-excellency-hon-uhuru-kenyatta-c-g-h-president-of-the-republic-of-kenya-and-commander-in-chief-of-the-defence-forces-during-the-announcement-of-the-october-26-fresh-preside/










Well, since Thursday there has been steady work at Bomas and with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Chairman Wafula Chebukati have been out in public coming with all sorts of numbers and verified results.
On the 26th October on Twitter Chebukati claimed: “The 48% was a BEST estimate turnout from the team. Latest actual figures from 267 constituencies show 6,553,858 Kenyans turned out to vote” (Wafula Chebukati, 26.10.2017).
On Friday the estimates was about 48% of the registered voters, but also about 6,5 millions voters. Even if the Benji Ndolo Jubilee Source said it 3,5 million registered in the KIEMS on Friday 27th October..
While the first verified result on Sunday on the 29th October 2017, it were 7,447,014 voters, which they claim are 43,04%. The second verified result on Sunday was 7,573,903 and estimated voter turnout being 42,8 %.
Just by these simple numbers you know the whole process is bogus, most of them is taken directly from their own press statements signed by the Chairman himself. These being thrown out like hot chips and hoping people will dip them in sauce. It is just amazing.
So this weekend have showed the technique of altering results and you should just check all of it all together. Because none of the numbers doesn’t make the sense. There is many constituencies with more voters, than it previously registered.
Kenyans for Peace, Truth and Justice (KPTJ) tweeted that on June 2017, it was registered 19,611,423. While on August 2017 it became 19,637,061 and before October 2017 it was 19,278,124. All of this was without voter registration drive and also any changes since the gazetted Fresh Presidential Election on 1st September 2017.
Therefore, no matter what they do at Bomas, they are throwing out Lottery number, Lotto-Numbers and hoping they get JACKPOT. They are wishing they are in Las Vegas playing at the Crabs-Table and getting the right numbers. So that they get the score and win the huge pot of money from MGM. Because nothing of the IEBC makes sense, all expect the they are doing this to legitimize the President and his second term.
The IEBC are trying to make Kenyatta and Ruto legitimate, but their trying and the boycott is hurting their pride. The egos and the problematic Fresh Presidential Elections are clearly showing the issue of the IEBC. They are clearly trying hard to please Jubilee and while doing so, making themselves fools.
Just this about Voter-Turnout is foolish, but than also with the knowledge of the boycott, the IEBC should know they couldn’t pull this off. When there we’re so low participation in such a vast amount of counties and polling stations. They cannot fool anyone, except their own naive crowd at Bomas. Or the ones peddling the magics counting of IEBC.
We can just wait for the final announcement of Kenyatta, as been anticipated since before the polls. When the journey from 1st September was on and the IEBC was not reformed. This was tailor-made for him and it is obvious. Peace.






You know your fishing in troubled waters, when even CNN International Broadcasting News drops and deletes your interview on Youtube. This is a proof of how shambolic the Kenyan Elections are, since the incumbent Deputy President William Ruto had an interview on CNN on Friday to legitimize the Fresh Presidential Elections. This is while the results are far from announced and the numbers was been shredded on the screens in Nairobi. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) have yet to announce the result, but by Friday the verified results we’re already in question. As the boycott all over the country had put down the estimates. That is why the interview was revealing for their will to lie to international legitimacy.
How they are still showing it on the CNN Pages:
“Ruto disputes low Kenya voter turnout figures: Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto says many Kenyans were denied the opportunity to vote due to violence. CNN’s Lynda Kinkade reports.Source: CNN” (CNN, 28.10.2017, link: http://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2017/10/28/ruto-disputes-kenya-voting-numbers-kinkade-sot.cnn).
Here is CNN Apology for airing the interview:
CNN chief editor Meredith Artley explained what went wrong: “Our interview with Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto was one of the worst interviews we have ever hosted. The discussion didn’t match our standards. Therefore, our viewers won’t be able to watch it on our youtube channel, we apologize.” she lamented. “Our producer has pulled the whole nonsense down. It was embarrassing to host such character. Once again we are sorry.” she added.
This is what he said during the interview:
“Legitimacy is defined in the constitution as 50% + 1 and 25% in 24 counties. We have surpassed both. We are at 98% and we have 25% in 44 counties” (…) “On matters to do with turnout, it is incorrect for Odinga to say 3.5 million voters. A total of 7.5 million voters voted” (Otinga, 2017).
“You must win 50%… we have already surpassed that threshold… That means that in terms of the constitution, the legitimacy question is already answered… It is incorrect for Mr. Odinga to say that 3.5 million voters turned out. In fact 7.5 million voters turned out… Of course he wants to peddle a narrative that suits his political narrative but the reality is 91% of Kenyans who voted who voted for Uhuru Kenyatta on 8th of August turned up and voted for us on Thursday” (Beverton Mukalo, 2017).
Just to put the numbers and amount of people he said turnout, the latest numbers on Sunday 29th is “237 out of 291 constituencies, Uhuru 6,945,181, Raila 65,598, Turnout 43.39%” (Kenya West on Twitter). Clearly, this is not right amount of numbers. When on Friday the KIEMS had registered about 3,5 million voters. While the IEBC and other has expressed no faith in the KIEMS, then why buy and use them? We know some in Kakamega took the equipment, but that was in one Polling station in a county that voted in and around 5%. Therefore, the numbers the IEBC are coming with is not trustworthy, as also many polling stations and constituency are even having higher turn-up of voters, than the registered voters there.
So there are reason why they pulled it down on Youtube, but it is still up at CNN International Edition. Even if it is filled with lies. The IEBC has worked on the results since the Return Forms was delivered on Thursday, clearly they are struggling to configure the 48% turn-out into the crunched numbers and make sure the paperwork fits the paradigm. If the IEBC was honest, they would know the boycott made the amount of people show-up abysmal.
Therefore, the CNN interview of DP Ruto was the Jubilee trying to legitimizing the polls. However, it was not working. Because as the time is going. The gig is up and the IEBC are working on overtime to fix the results for fitting the narrative the Jubilee needs. Peace.
