John Kiarie, Kimani Ichung'wah and Kipchumba were demanding the arrest of the person who shared the alleged Nairobi OCS list.
Arrested.
Over a list.
If the list is false, the simplest response is to publish the correct one.
Let Kenyans compare the two.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
When a government's first instinct is to demand arrests instead of providing evidence, people are left asking why transparency seems harder than intimidation.
Facts should be answered with facts, not handcuffs.
The law is the law. It does not matter for how long the law has been violated. Article 138(1) & (2) of the Constitution, on the Procedure at presidential election, categorically provides:
(1) If only one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) If two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency.
Voting at elections is conducted as provided under Article 86, which provides:
86. At every election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission shall ensure that-
(a) whatever voting method is used, the system is simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent;
(b) the votes cast are counted, tabulated and the results announced promptly by the presiding officer at each polling station;
(c) the results from the polling stations are openly and accurately collated and promptly announced by the returning officer; and (d) appropriate structures and mechanisms to eliminate electoral malpractice are put in place, including the safekeeping of election materials.
From the law above, there is no way the results for the Presidential elections cannot be announced at the Constituency as required by the Constitution. #ReKe #GetitDone #KnowYourConstitution
The Constitution does NOT give you rights. You already have them.
The Constitution simply tells the government that it cannot take those s rights away.
I wish more people understood this.
There’s a reason they won’t push this as Grand Coalition, because they know very well this is the kind of coalition that has the potential to serve Kenyans, not their interests.
A Maraga, Omtatah and Sifuna led government has the potential to right so many wrongs in this country. That is exactly why the conversation will quickly shift to who can bring votes, who has numbers and who is “electable”, not because they care about Kenya but because they need politicians they can control and who will protect the very system that has looted this country for decades.
This idea that we need Person A, B or C because they will “bring votes” needs to end.
Go out there and campaign for the candidate you believe in, talk to your family, talk to your cousins, talk to your grandparents, form groups, have conversations, convince people… this is how democracies are won.
No one has a monopoly on votes in this country. As someone once said, THE VOTER IS THE KINGMAKER!!
Why are we waiting for the same political class that helped ruin this country to tell us which direction Kenya should take? Until we understand that the opposition is not a group of wealthy politicians fighting each other but you, the people, demanding better leadership, we will keep surrendering our power to those who have never had our interests at heart.
WANTAM!!
I haven't seen Ademba Allans on here since Ol Kalou. I call to check on him, the DCI officers who arrested him in Ol Kalou took his phone and camera and deleted his social media accounts.
He has not been presented in court either.

Justin was abducted by hooded gunmen.
Reports say it’s because of something he posted.
As we speak… nobody knows where he is.
Ruto promised to END abductions.
Yet they keep happening.
Enough is enough.
Let's speak up for him

Please read Article 86 of the Constitution. The polling station results declared by the presiding officer after counting votes are final, but the tallies of the results are aggregated and verified at the constituency by the returning officer. After this there is no more tallying and verification of results at county or national levels. Just computation of the constituency tallies and declaration of the winners
Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

There is a very good chance that Edwin Sifuna could become Kenya’s President from August next year. The pollsters speak of a meteoric rise, and a steady surging of numbers.

I REPEAT, ELIUD LAGAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED FOR WHAT HE DID TO ALBERT OJWANG. NOW COPS ARE ALL OVER KILLING KENYANS IN POLICE CELLS AND THIS NEEDS TO STOP!!! #ARRESTELIUDLAGAT#JUSTICEFORALBERTOJWANG
20-year-old Eric Otieno was arrested on a fabricated charge.🚨
"Preparing to commit a felony."
By Sunday night, his family picked up a dying boy.
His last words: “Wamenipiga tumbo. Wamenigongagonga kwa cell.”
Dead on arrival.
Dead in Muthaiga Police Station.
Dead just like Albert Ojwang'.
This is not an isolated incident.
This is not a "bad apple."
This is the state system.
CS Murkomen, where is the CCTV footage you promised Kenya's police cells would have?
Where is the transparency?
Where is the accountability?
How many more sons must be beaten to death in custody before officers face real consequences?
Justice for Eric Otieno.
Justice for Albert Ojwang'.
Justice for every victim of state violence.
This govt must go.
