0956: Our Busia reporter files this story -
Busia District Hospital authorities today barred a man from leaving institution to go and vote since he was nursing a child that was being treated for tetanus.
According to the hospital matron, Ms Semrick Obel, the 55 year old Alex Musina, from Shinamwenyuli village in Butere district, had initially sought discharge for the child to enable him vote .
"There are those we can permit to go and vote after assessing the condition and how long they can take outside, but not this particular one" said Sister Obel wondering why the ECK didn't consider setting up mobile polling stations in hospitals.
"If KNEC can bring examinations in the hospital what prevents ECK to bring the ballot boxes here?" she asked, adding that many patients had felt disenfranchised.
The nurses said that tetanus was a dangerous disease that the government may need to investigate if immunization was appropriately carried out in the patients' place of origin.
'The government has spent a lot of money on treating the child who is now showing signs of recovery and now you want to discharged him against medical recommendation, we can't allow that", the matron told the man and threatened to report him to the Children 's department for child abuse.
0957hrs: Raila recieving hands in his identification details to first clerk and they are NOT certified
If they rigged the vote count, then a recount can rectify the situation but if they stuffed ballot boxes with illegal votes then probably this measure will not repair the damage.
Re-count itasaidia maana matokeo yaliyo kwenye boxes ni tofauti na matokeo waliyopeleka ECK Nairobi. Walichofanya ni election doctoring. Ni philosophy mpya iliyogunduliwa Afrika, nafikiri ilianzia Zanzibar 1995, sasa inaenea kote.
Tunapoteza muda kuja na mbinu mpya za kuua jamii zetu badala ya mbinu mpya za maendeleo.
Hivi kuna njia yoyote ya amani ambayo inaweza kuitoa Kenya kwenye hii "vita ya wenyewe kwa wenyewe"?
Kama tetesi zinazodai kwamba jeshi la Kenya limegawanyika ni za kweli basi nadhani kuna balaa kubwa zaidi ambayo inaweza kuwakumba majirani zetu. CDF (Chief of Defence Forces) wa Kenya ana ubavu wa kuzuia uasi wa wanajeshi wanaosemekana wanam-supportt Raila na ODM?
Wanaojua lolote, je msimamo wa Tanzania kwenye huu uchaguzi wa Kenya ni upi? (Kama serikali imeishatoa msimamo)
Kuna tetesi kwamba Mkuu wa Jeshi la Polisi amejiuzulu na hajasema lolote tangu jana na hiyo inasemekana ni kutokana na kugoma kusupport ku-declare state of emergency. Je, ni nani ana-declare na kuna uhusiano gani na Mkuu wa Polisi?
Pia kuna tetesi kwamba Jeshi la Ulinzi la Kenya liliombwa litoe askari ili waingie mtaani kwa ajili ya kuwashughulikia wanaofanya fujo, limetoa msimamo kwamba haliwezi kufanya kazi ya polisi.
Kwa walio Kenya and if at all wana access na mtandao wanaweza kutupa updates ya hizo tetesi and what is going on. Ninadhani hali ni mbaya zaidi na ndiyo radio, magazeti na TV za binafsi zote zimezuiwa kurusha matangazo.
Kenyan Tanzanian
Nasubiri kwa hamu kusikia what will be the next step, kwa sababu sasa ivi inaonekana imedhihirika wazi kuwa watu wa Kibaki wameiba kura. Tunawapa pole sana ndugu zetu, wizi huo huku Tanzania tumeuzoea. Tupo kama una updates tupatie!
Kuna mahali nimesoma kwenye hii thread kwamba "watu walio karibu na Kibaki" baada ya kuona wameelemewa na Raila kwenye kura za urais, walimshauri Kibaki a.k.a Kibaka, kwamba watumie janja ya kuiba kura ili jamaa ashinde. Kuna sehemu nyingine nimesoma wakenya wanadai haya yote yamesababishwa na Mzee Michuki (zama zile alikuwa waziri wa mambo ya ndani). Kuna ukweli wowote kwenye hili?

Kwa sasa sijui nani atakuwa muamuzi wa mambo ya kenya solution ni Jeshi kuchukua nchi tu. Bado nafikiria nini kitatokea saa nane ambapo Raila amesema anaapishwa na wakenya kuwa Raisi.
Hiyo ndiyo itakuwa mwisho wa maneno nafikiri Kibaki anacheza na Demokrasia, sasa amelikoroga lazima alinywe.
Watu waliokuwa wanaona mbali ushauri uliotolewa wa kutotangaza rais ulikuwa wa maana sana.
Sasa sijui Internationals, African Union wako wapi. Au wanasubiri watu wafe wengi ndio watoe matamuko ya kumwambia Kibaki aondoke madarakani.
Mimi namtabilia Kibaki mabaya.
Kibaki will go, forever

Sasa sijui Internationals, African Union wako wapi. Au wanasubiri watu wafe wengi ndio watoe matamuko ya kumwambia Kibaki aondoke madarakani.
Sioni kati ya hao uliowataja ambaye ana ubavu wa kumwambi Kibaka Kibaki aondoke madarakani. Haya mambo ya politics ni ya ajabu sana. US tayari imeishatoa msimamo wake, sidhani hata kama waliwasiliana na Balozi wao ambaye ameshinda pale KICC kwa siku mbili mfululizo akifuatilia matokeo na alitoa dukuduku lake kwa ECK lakini hakusikilizwa.
AU ndo usiseme kabisa, maana kama kumshughulikia Mugabe wameshindwa unategemea waseme nini kwa Kibaka? Unajua viongozi wengi wa Afrika ni wanafiki sana na wote agenda zao zinafanana na ndiyo wanaogopa kusema ukweli maana nafsi zao zinawasuta. Huwezi kumwambia mwenzako aache wizi wakati na wewe uliingia madarakani kwa wizi ama unategemea kurudi Ikulu kwa kutumia wizi huo huo. Term ya kwanza unaweza kuingia kwa haki, lakini term ya pili kurudi ni ngoma nzito. Hata JK sasa hivi anaendelea kutafakari juu ya uchaguzi wa 2010, maana hajui nini kitatokea. Nimeona Kipanya leo hii nikacheka kweli. Kibaki amekaa kwenye kiti ananyolewa halafu JK yuko kwenye deep thinking, Kipanya anamuuliza vipi una baridi???????????????
Where are the African presidents? AU hili sio swala la Kenya peke yake hivi sasa. Mbona wako kimya badala ya kutoa hukumu yao hivi sasa wakati raia wasio na hatia wanateketea.
JK, M7, Mbeki etc. Where are you? Stand up to be counted.
Hivi hawa Inernational Obsevers kazi yao hasa ni nini?? Maana mara nyingi huwa hawako very open na taarifa zao kuhusu matokeo ya uchaguzi. Mambo yao wanayafanya kisiasa siasa tu!!! KIBAKA ilaaniwe mara mia moja!!!!! Kama MOI aliachia madaraka baada ya kushindwa yeye anataka kuleta nini??? Kumbe MOI NI BORA KULIKO KIBAKA!!!
