I am not surprised at the scale of projected GOP loss in the US mid terms. Republicans boxed themselves in a tight alley and lit fires around the exits only to start ordering for fire fighting engines when their feet started smouldering away. Unhinged and detached is limited
Just a reminder;
University lecturers are on strike over pay.
SHA is not working.
Hospitals have no medicine.
Citizens are going hungry.
Fuel is getting more expensive.
Taxes are hurting incomes.
So if leaders choose to live in luxury, flying private jets and waltzing in billions, they should at least do it in secrecy.
The Agikuyu have a saying, "Tiga kuonia Ngai nda".
Do not boastfully show God your full stomach.
He can empty it in a flash.
Mbu "even enemies of Uganda's long-ruling leader Yoweri Museveni are now praying for his good health and long life, and calling him 'Our Mzee'". Are there Ugandans who can explain this puzzling development to the world?🫢🫢🫢
A KTN exposé has uncovered how Kenyan voter registration equipment and materials, including national ID cards and voter cards, are being smuggled across the Suam border into Uganda and used to register foreign nationals, including members of the Saboti, Sabaot, Bukusu and Pokot communities.
Bragging that you’ll finish the opposition by 6 AM, only to resort to bribing voters and smuggling voter registration kits across borders to register non-citizens is wild.
The court allows Okiya Omtatah's petition and holds that the result declared at the constituency level is final and binding, not capable of being amended, reconciled or any other fancy term they may want to use.
What does this mean?
With Section 39 declared unconstitutional, the constituency Returning Officers have no room to make any errors because the results they announce are final.
The IEBC as a whole has the role of tallying and verifying results, not just the IEBC Chair.
The IEBC chair still declares the final (national) presidential result as is mandated under Article 138(10).
Any media house or any organisation capable of posting agents at the 290 constituency tallying Centres can collate and have the presidential result on the same night after voting since most constituencies receive presidential results in that very same night.
Bottomline, that nervous 5 to 6 days period of waiting has now been drastically reduced to at the very most 2 days.
Constituency Returning Officers have a lot more responsibility on their hands and this comes with a bigger risk of prosecution should they commit any electoral offences including giving false figures.
The Maina Kiai decision still Stands as any conflict between the constituency result and what is declared at the polling station will tilt towards the polling station result being final and binding.
I believe Justice Gregory Mutai has done well!
The Court of Appeal judges who aided Ruto to sell Safaricom when the case against was still ongoing at the High Court should resign in public interest, now that the HC has, predictably, proclaimed the process UNCONSTITUTIONAL. That CoA bench acted 'contra bonum publicum'. Disgrace!
A young woman with an oxygen mask appeared on NTV, begging, pleading, and crying to the Government, Ministry of Health to end the nurses strike because she and others were dying. No medication for 40 days. Yesterday, she died. Nobody in government was moved. As of yesterday, 136 mothers and kids had died, many in waiting areas (and these are just numbers that are known). The President is busy on rooftops of cars, Aden Duale is busy campaigns in North Easter to prove he is the king, and nobody gives a damn anymore... Khabusie!
In the next Presidential Debate, we want these videos played.
Let Kenyans watch, with their own eyes. Let the presidential candidates watch that footage and then answer one simple question:
What kind of government allows the people entrusted with protecting citizens to brutalise them with such impunity?
