UK rejects Burundi court ruling on Nkurunziza third term

[RUCCI]

The British government has refused to endorse the Tuesday's constitutional court ruling in Burundi, which said President Pierre Nkurunziza could stand for re-election.

In a statement issued on Wednesday morning in London, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office cast doubt over the integrity and independence of the court.

"Reports of intimidation against members of the Constitutional Court do not give the impression of an independent court that was able to come to an impartial decision," the FCO said in a statement.

"This is not in the best interests of Burundi or its people".

The vice president of the court, Sylvere Nimpagariste, fled for his life into Rwanda on Monday.

He said he and other judges had come under pressure to rule that the incumbent, in power since 2005, could stand again.

The next day the court ruled that Mr Nkurunziza's first term, in which he was elected by legislators, did not count against the two-term limit in the constitution.

STREETS BARRICADED

Protestors rejected the ruling and have continued to barricade streets in many parts of the capital, Bujumbura, and in other parts of the country.

In its statement, the FCO threw its weight, instead, behind the political dialogue between rival factions underway under the guidance of the UN.

"A clear public commitment to disarming political youth groups, including the Imbonerakure, is vital," the statement added. "The Burundian government is responsible for the security of all citizens.

We therefore urge the government to create a situation where those who have fled Burundi in recent weeks can return without fear."

Specific Administrative Issues

This section looks at the common functions that need to be addressed in all voter registration systems, whether using a periodic list, a continuous register or a civil registry. It highlights the importance of advance planning to deal with challenges that arise in developing registration systems and notes some of the difficulties inherent in responding to those challenges. Among the issues addressed in the section are the following:

• Planning - The planning framework must be suited to local conditions and circumstances. A periodic list requires a major effort within a short time before an electoral event but its administrative structure may be modest between elections. A continuous list must be planned to allow re-use of data collected in the initial registration. A civil registry authority may gather information directly or oversee data collection by other bodies.
• Legal and administrative framework - The legal framework sets guidelines for voter eligibility and how the registration process should be conducted. Both the central election management authority and local election offices play a role in the administration, which deals with personnel management, office infrastructure and materials.
• Logistics - Voter registration requires large volumes of data to be gathered, verified, recorded and stored, often within tight time constraints. With a periodic list, a large number of people need to be hired for a short time. With a continuous register, efforts are ongoing to keep voter information up to date. Data may be collected directly for a civil registry or transferred from other bodies that gather information on citizens.
• Operational infrastructure - The type of voter registration system determines the operational infrastructure. In a periodic list system, registration offices need to be established for a short time. In a continuous list system, the main challenge is to link data from many different data sets.
• Voter education - All systems of voter registration require some degree of voter education. In some cases the election management authority simply makes it known that eligible persons need to register in order to be able to vote. They may use all forms of media, advertising, bill boards, pamphlets etc to notify the public. In other countries, particularly where voter registration has been low, the election management authority and/or the media and civil society groups try to convince the public that it is important to register and vote.
  
• Staff selection and training - Voter registration tends to be a labour-intensive process. A periodic list involves very sharp spikes in activity and employment. Other methods spread registration activity over a longer time and need more long-term staff. In either case, the election management authority must hire and train a large number of employees.
• Production of preliminary voters’ list - After collecting registration data, the election management authority produces a preliminary voters list. This is often given to political parties and candidates for use in contacting voters. For their part, voters can check the accuracy of their registration information as it appears in the list.
  
• Method of production - Producing the voters list is a multi-stage process, and problems at any stage can lessen overall success. The list may be produced locally or centrally. In either case there must be facilities to securely transmit data between local and central election offices.
• Gathering changes to preliminary list - Once the preliminary voters list has been compiled and made widely available, a period is allowed for revision. Eligible voters may not be listed or listed with incorrect information; some names may need to be removed. The election management authority must have procedures for dealing with claims and objections.
• Production of final voters list - After the necessary revisions have been made, the final voters list is produced. This is the list used on election day. It may be produced centrally or locally, depending partly on time constraints.
  
• Distribution of final voters list - Each voting station must have a copy of the final voters list by election day. For the election management authority, the voters list provides definitive statements of voting eligibility for each person listed. Political parties may use the list to check whether changes they requested to the preliminary list have been made.
• Audit trail maintenance - The overall integrity of a voters list may be challenged, and electoral administrators should be prepared to defend decisions on the eligibility of any person or group of persons. They must keep documentation relating to decisions on eligibility, track changes to voter information and establish appeals mechanisms.
• Closing date for registration - The goal of a voter registration initiative is to develop a comprehensive voters list that will be as current and accurate as possible on election day. The closing date for registration should be chosen to allow time for the election activities that must follow, including list review, revision, hearing of challenges and production of the final list.
• List revisions for early voters - In many jurisdictions, eligible voters who cannot go to the polls on election day may vote at an early voting station. Provisions may be required to register such persons if their names do not appear on the voters list. Names of those who voted early are struck off the voters list to ensure that they cannot vote again on election day.
• Objection hearings - Where a claim has been presented that the voters list is in need of revision and the claimant is not satisfied with the decision of the election management authority, there should be a set procedure for filing an objection. Attending a hearing should not be onerous for claimants.
• Election day registration additions and revisions - Some jurisdictions allow voter registration on election day. If so, there must be clear parameters to guide the election management authority. For example, it may be required to keep a list of people who register on election day, for later review by political parties. Safeguards should be adopted against voter fraud.

nahis vikwazo vya kiuchumi vinainyemerea Burundi

Mi nadhani kwa karne hii, njia ya vikwazo sio nzuri kwani waathirika wakubwa ni wananchi, njia sahihi, kwa sasa ili kuwaeweza hawa viongozi wahuni wa kiafrika ni kuwa na kikosi maalum cha jeshi kilicho chini ya UN, ni kwenda na kumnyofoa tu, na moja kwa moja ni THE HEGUE, watu wanaendelea na maisha. Kwani Bagbo wasingekuwa wafaransa kuingilia kati na kumnyofoa c mpaka sasa angekuwa rais!! kwani nchi za kiafrika hawaezi wote ni wale wale tu, Dawa yao ni hiyo tu na sio vikwazo, ROBERT MUGABE, Yuko kwenye vikwazo kwa muda gani? wanaoumia ni wananchi,

This is rubish?.How can UK dictate terms in Burundi? Is there a piece of land in Burundi that belongs to UK? Pumbafu kabisa

 

[Kiyoya]

hii dunia kweli ina watu na viatu!!! we watu wanazungumzia uhuni anaofanya huyo mnafiki anayejiita ni mlokole, kwa kukiuka katiba we una kimbilia eti ni mambo ya kikabila?!! na kote huku ni kujaribu kuwa hadaa wahutu kuwa raisi hatakiwi kwasababu ni muhutu!! kwani muhutu yuko peke yake si apendekezwe mwingine?!! poor arguments,shame on u.

ndugu ukiangalia vitu kupitia tundu la funguo hasara yake ndo hiyo-wewe unadhani akina nkurunzinza walipokuwa msituni walikuwa wanaimba mapambio na kunywa mvinyo au hawaoni yanayotokea na yaliyotokea rwanda? Eti Democrasia Shame on Demokrasia kama wewe unafuatilia siasa za burundi,Rwanda,uganda na DRC ungenielewa-Please nakusihi jaribu kufuatilia

Mkuu Kiyoya yuko sahihi, siasa za wahutu na watutsi sio rahisi kama zinavyoonekana.

1.Rejea kwenye habari usisome juu juu, walichosema waingereza exactly ni hiki: "Reports of intimidation against members of the Constitutional Court do not give the impression of an independent court that was able to come to an impartial decision," the FCO said in a statement." Hicho ndicho walichosema, kwa kifupi kwamba "wana wasiwasi na uhuru wa mahakama". Hiyo conclusion kwamba UK REJECTS BURUNDI COURT RULING, ni imagination ya gazeti linalochapwa na the nation group. Kwani ruling ilikuwa kwa ajili ya Uingereza au Burundi, who are they to "reject" ruling isiyowahusu? Kwa nini Daily nation wapotoshe? Jibu lake fupi ni Rwanda kama alivyoona Kiyoya, ila kwa vile maelezo yake yatakuwa marefu tuishie hapo kwenye fact kuwa wameifanyia usanii habari.

2. Tunachotakiwa tujadili kama great thinkers ni tafsiri ya kikatiba ambayo inamkataza Nkurunzinza kugombea na si vinginevyo. Mpaka sasa sijaona mjadala wowote makini katika hilo.

kweli lakini uhuru wa nchi ndio kikwazo. Huruhusiwi kumkamata kiongozi aliyemadarakani nchini mwake. Mpaka sasa rais wa Sudani hajakamatwa eti mpaka akamatwe nje ya nchi yake! Kweli vikwazo vinawatesa raia kuliko watawala!
