Thanks mdau Ab-Titchaz kwa hii piece of information. Tunasubiri kwa hamu na gamu kusikia ushahidi utakachofikishwa mahakamani na mawakili wa Cord na muhimu zaidi ni namna supreme court itakavyoihandle kesi hii.

Binafsi siamini kama mahakama inaweza kutengua ushindi wa Uhuru. Sitarajii kuona uamuzi kama huo katika nchi zetu za kiafrika hata kama kutakuwa na ushahidi mzito kiasi gani bado naamini court itatoa ruling kwa favour ya president elect tu.

Labada hii kesi inaweza kusaidia kuwaonyesha wakenya mapungufu ya IEBC ili wayafanyie kazi kwa ajili ya chaguzi zijazo huko mbeleni.

CORD begins fight to overturn Uhuru ‘win'


By Geoffrey Mosoku

NAIROBI; KENYA: The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) files its petition at the Supreme Court on Friday to challenge the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta as President-elect.

The petitioner is Eliud Owalo, chief campaign manager of Prime Minister Raila Odinga who was the CORD presidential flag-bearer in the March 4 elections.

But in a new twist, three people have filed a petition with the same court asking it to rule on whether the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission should have included rejected ballots in its final tally of the March 4 presidential votes.

The three are closely linked to the Jubilee Coalition. They are Mr Dennis Ole Itumbi, Moses Kuria and Ms Florence Sergon. Mr Itumbi runs a news and gossip Internet site, while Kuria is a media consultant and political commentator allied to The National Alliance (TNA).

It is now not clear which case the Supreme Court will deal with first, or if the cases will be heard concurrently. The court is supposed to listen and determine the cases within 14 days from the day of filing the case.

Under the Constitution, a person seeking to contest the presidential election has seven days to do so, following the declaration of the winner.

CORD has chosen Friday, ahead of Monday's deadline following last Saturday announcement that declared Uhuru as president-elect.

Secretive way

The alliance said on Thursday they were finalising papers and documents required to file the petition contesting Uhuru Kenyatta's election as president. "We would like to inform Kenyans that we are in the final stages of preparing our presidential election petition to the Supreme Court, which we will file tomorrow (today)," said senior counsel and Makueni Senator-elect Mutula Kilonzo who is also Education minister.

Kilonzo said CORD's legal team led by senior counsel George Oraro and Pheroze Nowrojee are ready to go to court today to challenge Uhuru's election.

But referring to the same, Uhuru on Thursday said CORD's move would not stop him and Ruto from laying the groundwork for their government.

"We have no time to waste; we are not sure if Kenyans want to look at us continue to bicker while they continue enduring suffering. We are not reaching out to our competitors because we fear anything; we only want to start reconciling Kenyans."

"We want to tell you we had our plan as Jubilee. We cannot waste any single moment on the grounds that we are waiting for a petition," said Uhuru. He added: "The Judicial processes will proceed even as the Jubilee government prepares to lay the structures to govern this nation, as we must do."

CORD said they would proceed to file their case in court despite what they termed as efforts by the IEBC to frustrate them by denying them important documents in defiance of a High Court order.

"It's important to note that in spite of the High Court order issued to provide us with relevant documentation, the IEBC continues to frustrate this directive," Mutula added.

On Thursday, the commission sent an SMS saying they had posted the required Form 34 on its website for all Kenyans to access.

"The 33,000 Forms 34 requested by CORD and used to tally presidential results in the General Election are posted on the website for all," IEBC said in the SMS.

However, Lands minister and Siaya Senator-elect James Orengo said it was tedious to get the document as it was frustrating to download them with Mutula saying it was mischievous for the IEBC to post the documents in its website.

"If the electronic tallying collapsed, and they used manual tallying, it could have been fair for them to give us hard copies of the requested documents," Mutula said during a media briefing at the Serena Hotel.


CORD said it has evidence to prove the elections were bungled and that IEBC has been operating in a secretive way, with Orengo saying the electoral body's chiefs were inaccessible.

"This is the most opaque commission, worse that the ECK of 2007. Even to knock on the door of the chairman (Issack Hassan) is like knocking the door of a general in a military camp," he added.

The two who were accompanied by Busia Senator-elect and former Attorney General Amos Wako, Medical Services Minister and Kisumu Senator-elect Anyang Nyong'o and Ogla Karan also protested that the IEBC failed to grant them access to the registers used during elections.

Wako said IEBC had effected many changes in the registers and thus CORD was seeking all the different versions of the voters' roll.

"There is a process which leads to a final register. First you close registration, open inspection and then clean up the register to come up with the final document. However, when the final register produces other versions, you ask yourself which is the genuine one," said Wako.

Declare publicly

CORD further failed to disclose if Safaricom had forwarded to them all the information they were seeking.

Wako said they were justified to move to the Supreme Court adding: "It is not just a democratic right but a constitutional duty for any citizen to move to the Supreme Court if he feels the Constitution has been violated."

Earlier, MPs, governors and senators-elect from the Kisii community addressed journalists at the same hotel where they threw their weight behind the CORD petition.

Led by Kisii senator-elect Chris Obure, the leaders said they had faith the Supreme Court will grant the country justice by delivering a fair verdict. They urged their Jubilee counterparts to declare publicly that they were willing to accept ruling.

Those present included Richard Onyonka (Kitutu Chache South), Ben Momanyi (Borabu), Simon Ogari (Bomachoge), John Arama (Nakuru Town West), Simba Arati (Dagoretti North), Elijah Moindi (Nyaribari Masaba), Timothy Bosire (Kitutu Masaba), Chris Bichage (Nyaribari Chache), Charles Geni (North Mugirango), Mary Otara (Kisii County Women Representative), Alice Chae (Nyamira County Women Representative), John Nyagarama (Nyamira Governor), Joseph Kiangoi (EALA) and Manson Nyamweya (South Mugirango).

Onyonka said the Kisii community is supporting the CORD's quest for justice, saying the Raila Odinga-led coalition enjoys support across the country and has the right to petition the outcome of a General Election it feels was mishandled.

And in another press conference held at the Panafric Hotel, MPs-elect from the Kamba community reiterated and affirmed their total support for CORD's petition.
They included Bernard Kitungi (Mwingi West), Jessica Mbalu (Kibwezi East), Joe Mutambu (Mwingi Central), among others.

Its all systems go as CORD does the final touches on this behemoth of a petition. This is going to be a shocker of biblical proportions as friends at the nerve center tell me. CORD already knows what they have and they simply need the information from IEBC for cross reference purposes. When the smoke clears and the dust is settled there will be no IEBC to run the next election for it will have to be overhauled. The resolve is firmly grounded as we know our 'cyber courts' have already adjudicated the case and if anything are saying 'Hakuna haja'. That's expected from somebody who is stealing from you because they don't want you to be aware of their pilfering ways.

I have confidence in the person of the Chief Justice Mr Willy Mutunga, a man appointed in a transparent vetting process by the JSC. He is a man of integrity who believes in the rule of law ever and has stood on the side of justice time and time again. Just yesterday he postponed the swearing of TSC commissioners because they have a case pending in court.


Standard Digital News - Kenya : Mutunga postpones TSC commissioners swearing in

So I said to myself if he has told these TSC chaps to hold on till their case is resolved, then somebody needs to tell those Jubilee fellows that the swearing in ceremony of the President-Select is not happening anytime soon. That is the how the law operates.

Thank God for the New Kenyan Constitution.

Now those who are keen know that the IEBC is starting from a very disadvantaged position when it comes to their ability to carry out an exercise of such huge magnitude. The ramifications not withstanding. The BVR failed and transmission mechanism put in place as a check and balance also failed. This is why the returning officers just walked casually into Bomas of Kenya with the forms showing tallying from various polling stations. Not accompanied or security whatsoever..mambo 'kienyeji styro!' These are not contested facts no matter how many excuses Mr Hassan tried to make. Hassan's explanation has been that he used the manual stuff and relied on the form 36 which replaced the now infamous form 16. But Hassan should remember that the transmission requirement is part of the electoral laws for a reason. It provides the first check and balance in the system. It was recommended by the Kriegler team and enacted into law because in 2007, the the Returning Officers altered records so badly that even Mr. Kriegler agreed it was not possible to determine who won.

Therefore in as much as the final poll result had to come from the manual data, the constitution provided for that data to be cross checked with the provisional data transmitted directly from the voting location. Due to the failure of the transmission their is no provisional data to provide the check and balance that was supposed to be the first line of defense against electoral fraud. This posses a big problem for IEBC as they have directly contravened the constitution.

Now lets look at the rejected voters that kept on increasing steadily up to the 300K mark when the whole thing was called off. When Hassan was asked about he said that it was a bug multiplying things by 8. Now the problem becomes he will have to explain to the court how this whole thing works in the IT world. Now, I know I'm not IT guru but one thing I know for sure is that when you do something on the Internet there are 'always cyber footprints' that are left behind. If by any chance there is found any evidence of deliberate tampering to compromise the system (this is the word in the grapevine by the way) then IEBC are in for a serious spanking. This was too important an exercise for somebody to say they forgot to charge the batteries of the BVR kits and that's why they didn't work on the morning of the election. And we are supposed to believe such garbage!

Uhuru Kenyatta and his godfather Mwai Kibaki are busy trying to paint this crazy picture that the election is over lets move on. I beg to ask move on to what? This business of stealing elections needs to stop and it needs to stop now! We have to show these old geezers that that time is gone and this a new Kenya. I'm disappointed at Uhuru Kenyatta who I believed would be a breath of fresh air into Kenya's Presidency, yet he has chosen the same old archaic ways of stealing elections blatantly with the careless mta-do? posture. This is a very different Kenya! That is why Raila refused to accept the unilateral appointment of A. Visram as Chief Justice. If that had happened Uhuru Kenyatta would have been sworn in by now and a couple people locked up just to prove a point. Raila saved us that mess.

Thank God for The New Kenyan Constitution.

God Bless Kenya!

Lemmie get ready to go to the High Court.
 
Very funny,

A whole week since the announcement of the winner in Kenya and yet,,,,the cord is swearing how they are going to surprise the Jubilee side with incriminating evidence they have,,,,yet again,,they are complaining that the IEBC is withholding some papers????? If you accuse me of some misconduct,,,is it up on me me to provide you with evidence so that you can hang me????

Until now,,,they have yet to show what is their complain. It is clear that,,by now,,,this guys are wasting their own time. You have to have evidence before even thinking of going to the court. The IEBC decided to avail the cord with all they wanted,, some 500,000 copies of document,,,yet,,these guys are still complaining. Let them point out the gross misconduct, as they call it,,on the side of the IEBC,, if they are serious in what they say,,instead of complaining like small kids,, na kutisha tisha ati,,,,tutafanya hivi na vile,,,,kwanini msifanye badala ya kila saa,,kuita watu wamangazeti na koungea porojo tupu???.

Nyani anayekufa,,,kila mti anaeshika,,,,,,,,,,,,,, huteleza. Is this is what the kind of reform they were about to introduce into this country???????? Mungu ni mkubwa na hatakubali hii inchi iwe katika mikono ya watu kama hawa. A group of observers (7,000) says the election was fair and democratic.

I hope these people ( observers) were not ,,,,,Kikuyus.
 
It is their right to go to court if they are not satisfied with the way the elections were conducted.
 
There might be a lot that will be disclosed behind the curtain. It just a matter of time, the court's verdict will unveil what was hidden behind the curtain. The IEBC should be ready to also present their defenses.
 
I'm disappointed at Uhuru Kenyatta who I believed would be a breath of fresh air into Kenya's Presidency, yet he has chosen the same old archaic ways of stealing elections blatantly with the careless mta-do? posture.

That says its all
 
That says its all

The CORD alliance will be very happy if you can avail them with that
kind of evidence,,,that he, Uhuru Kenyatta,, stole the 'elections'.

They are very desperate to get their hands on such materials.

And,,once again,,the cord alliance did not go to the court today
as they promised yesterday.


Why,,ati,,because,,, to give others a chance to file other cases,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and i ask,,,,which cases that are greater than this???

Is this not a joke?????????????????They say that they are going to
do this tomorrow when Kesho si mbali saaaaana.

These 'reformers' he he he,,will have to reform themselves,,,,
first.

Hii kesi ni nzito sio ya kukurupukia lazima wajiapange vizuri sana kwamba wakiifile lazima wawe na concrete evidence. Bora wachelewe ama wasiifungue kabisa kuliko kufanya haraka za kuifungua halafu kesi inaishia kutupwa kwa sababu ambazo wangeweza kuziepuka.
 
Raila mlalamishi sana...hatacuchaguzi urudiwe leo hawezi kushinda

Waswahili ndivyo tulivyo hatuna jema hata moja. Raila alipokataa kweda mahakamani mwaka 2007 na kusababisha maafa kwa wakeya mkamlaani kwa nguvu zote.
Mwaka huu kabla ya uchaguzi mkakesha hapa na kumsihi asiyeridhika na matokeo aende mahakamani badala ya kwenda mitaani kama ilivyotokea 2007.
Sasa Raila ameamua kuchagua njia sahihi kabisa ya kikatiba lakini bado tena waswahili mnamlalamikia. Yani sijui watu mkoje aisee hata mfanyiwe nini hamridhiki.

Hahahaa umeona eeh? It's like he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Raila ana haki zote za kwenda mahakamani. Wamuache aende na mahakama itaamua na yeye kasema atakubaliana na uamuzi wowote ule wa mahakama hiyo.

lakini huoni kwamba muda unakwenda na kwanini wapige kelele majukwaani badala ya kukaa chini na kutoka na kitu strong
 
IEBC officials are right now doctoring ballot boxes at Kenyatta University Business Center underground floor Room 014. The door is written 'out of bounds'. There are tonnes of ballot boxes in there. Kenyatta University students have the place surrounded.

Let them be informed that the boxes are not going anywhere. Spread the word coz the media will not kama kawa.


Tuko tayari!
