IEBC Internal Memo: “Re: Revised Results Transmission Workflow” (14.10.2017)






14th October 2017, Oslo
Dear Sirs!
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Vice President William Ruto, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett and Acting Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. I have to write to you all, because this has to stop. Is this how you will make sure you have blood on your hands?
It is okay, that all of you have no respect for the Constitution or the right to assembly. That we know already, because keeping power for yourself is more important than justice itself. This is proven by actions and by your words against the Supreme Court. So, I am not surprised that you have issues with the law or complying with the laws. But somewhere it has to stop. That point has come now!
For every single hurt, for every single person were hospitalized and each death is on your watch. It is on your clock and your legacy. This is not the opposition fault for demonstrating. That is the only thing they have to show the public strength and to stop you from ceasing more control. The National Assembly and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) are filled with your men and woman, who works for your projects. Therefore, the NASA has to demonstrate, even when you are banning it. Even when you can’t, because you cannot stifle and suspend the Constitution. Good luck with doing that, then you the Jubilee Party are opening the gates for Anarchy. Do you want that instead?
Let’s be clear, the innocent is the ones that dies in the streets, the ones who chants for reforms and for possible change. From change of looting of state reserves and businesses. That the different cartels will loose power and the rampant government corruption will cease. This the reasons for why they are in the streets. Not only because of the ballots are not respected, but because the Jubilee Administration is out of touch and forgotten the struggles of the common people. The expenses and values of life is nearly extinct under you. Therefore, within hours you got rid of Joseph Nkaissery and you hired Fred Matiangi. Can you do that with others too if needed be?
I am worried for the lives of the demonstrators, of the civilians, since we have seen in the past how vicious your attacks on their rights and their possible ways of showing dissatisfaction with the state. You as responsible should be worried of the dead, of the ones hurt and the ones hospitalized are happening because of you. You are the reason for this, all of your orders and leadership is behind this police brutality.
This Police Brutality has to stop. Has to cease. It has to be gone. You cannot act like this to your citizens, you should make sure thieves get caught, but not destroy innocent people’s lives. Because they are not on your side. Is that what your legacy is worth? The blood is on your hands, do feel the stains? You should! This is something you cannot wash away, the innocent lives is for the cause of simple reforms and your pride is overshadowing it.
You should think about it, is it worth it, to be the sole cause for the demise of innocent citizens. Is it worth it? Is this how you will be remembered? That for the cause of staying in power, you are the cause of people losing their lives in demonstrations against the fraudulent electoral process. Peace.














“INTERIOR ACTING CS Fred Matiangi bans anti-IEBC demos in central business districts of Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu; cites Public Order Act” (NationBreakingNews, 12.10.2017).
I do not know if someone can teach CS Fred Matiang’i the rights of the citizens too peacefully demonstrate. That the people have the rights to run to the streets and show civil disobedience to the rule of law and state. It is as if someone hit him with rock and the bump on his head is made of pure perfection. Suddenly, he is acting more and more like his predecessor Joseph Nkaissery, who also tried to silence the opposition and the National Super Alliance (NASA), through their OKOA and reform demonstrations. Clearly, he is trying to pull of the same sort of scheme today. It is like a relic from the past resurface as a magic bean hits the dirt and grows into a giant tree. Matiang’i thinks he drops wisdom, but he drops nonsense instead.
In the 2010 Constitution of Kenya, Chapter 4 Bill of Rights, Part 2 Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Article 37 states this: “Every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities” (Kenyan Constitution 2010). So as long as NASA petition to demonstrate in Mombasa, Central Business District of Nairobi and in Kisumu. It is within their rights and it is just behavior to do so.
I do not know if CS Matiang’i understand that every person means that his father, his brother and his nephew can run the streets in demonstrations, even his mother, his sister and his cousin. I know that is hard to muster for this man, but as long as they send in petitions and notify the authorities in due time about their planned demonstrations, it should be allowed. What sort of misbehavior does this man live by? What sort of thing did the previous Anti-IEBC demonstrations do to you? If you were Ezra Chiloba or Wafula Chebukati, I would understand if the slogans and the demonstrations would hurt your feelings. However, Matiang’i you are not them. You are yourself and you do not understand what you do.
Alas, you are just a useful tool for Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, which is why you took over so quickly after the sudden death of Nkaissery. It is not like have forgotten that part of your legacy. The body was not even in the casket before you were sworn-in as acting CS. Clearly, you want to repay your debt for the position they have given you. With using your power to trying to silence the men and woman who do not believe in a credible election under the IEBC and the current administration.
Why should they, when even you cannot muster to follow the provisions of the Constitutions. How dare you insult the citizens who are bleeding and silenced by your regime. What sort of imagination do you have? Do you think this will make it better, only make the Police more brutal and more innocent lives get lost! So you can be in power with your fellow crooked politicians and laugh of the publics misery. Get real and get lost. This sort of foolery is only eaten up by fools, please, by the grace of God! Study the Constitution that you are supposed to abide by and stop the nonsense.
CS Matiang’i you know better, I am sure you do! Peace.

Today, as the sudden statement after the withdrawal of Raila Odinga and Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka yesterday. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in a statement today that Dr. Ekuru Aukot could stand in their place on the ballot. But can they really? Are the IEBC and the High Court really following the electoral codes and practices that in the provisions of electoral mandate. I doubt that, by a simple sentences made by the intellectuals of Elisha Ongonya and Willies Otieno really explain what the IEBC has to do. Because this is a repeated presidential election. Today is the 11th October 2017. So the days counted to 26th October is 15 days. Which is not enough considering the law. This cannot be seen as legal!
“A presidential election is initiated by the Commission publishing a notice in the Gazette as well as in the electronic and print media of national circulation. Such publication is made at least sixty days before the date of the election in the case of a general election, and, at least twenty one days before the date of an election in case of a repeat presidential election following lack of a clear winner at a general election, and, upon the office of the president becoming vacant in any other case” (Ongonya & Otieno, P: 42, 2012).
I don’t know if there has arrived any khat from Kismayo of late to the IEBC Secretariat or they are as arrogant as DP William Ruto with his fancy watch. I don’t know, but what I do know is that today is the 11th October, the day IEBC announced changes on the ballots for the upcoming fresh elections on the 26th October. That is 15 beautiful days, where the Jubilee are busy bribing fellow displeased NASA disciples, while giving away t-shirts and campaigning through the Republic.
So if the IEBC was announcing a new candidates for the repeat presidential elections, which supposed to happen 21 days before the day of the election. That means it has to by announcing today happen on the 1st November 2017 and not on the 26th October 2017. I know that is hard math for Chairman Wafula Chebukati and CEO Ezra Chiloba who follows direct orders and don’t use their brain-mass as much as they should. Still, this is very simple math. It was like if 15 + 11 became 26, you know. It is hard to understand for some fellow brothers. Maybe someone need to give some proper guidance to the gentlemen in charge at the IEBC.
I know that this Fresh Presidential Elections are not supposed to be this hard. The IEBC knows their rules and regulations, but not abiding to them. Again, they are acting all out and doing as they please. This was like trying to take the easy way out. Since the National Super Alliance pulled out. If people thinks today’s statement is final. You are wrong my friend. First the IEBC has to learn how to count, before they try to pull off another scheme benefiting the Jubilee and Kenyatta. Their gravy-train has to stop and the reforms has to appear. Peace.
