PRESS STATEMENT
WHY KENYA'S ELECTORAL SYSTEM MUST PASS THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST
Fellow Kenyans,
Yesterday, I appeared before the High Court in a constitutional case concerning the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (@IEBCKenya) and the integrity of Kenya's electoral system.
The petition asks the Court to test the entire chain of our elections - how Kenyans register, how they are identified at the polling station, how their votes are cast and counted, and how results are transmitted, verified and declared - against the standards the Constitution itself sets.
That question is simple to state: Does Kenya's electoral system meet the constitutional test?
Article 81 requires that elections be administered in a manner that is impartial, neutral, efficient, accurate and accountable. Article 86 requires that, whatever method is used to cast, count and transmit votes, that method be simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent. The Elections Act sets the same standard for the technology IEBC deploys.
The Constitution anticipates an electoral process that is not just free and fair, but one that is also tamper-proof. Free and fair speaks to conduct on the day; tamper-proof speaks to the design of the system itself - whether it can withstand interference at any point in the chain, and whether that can be proven, not merely assumed.
To be clear, this case is not just simply about paper versus electronics.
Kenya's system already combines both - paper ballots, electronic voter identification, and electronic transmission of results. Technology, properly designed and independently verifiable, can be a powerful ally of electoral integrity: it can reduce unnecessary human discretion, create reliable audit trails, make results easier, not harder, to verify, and significantly reduce the cost of elections.
But technology is not self-certifying. It does not become trustworthy simply because it is technology. Like every other part of the electoral chain, it must be shown to satisfy the Constitution's own tests of transparency, verifiability, security and accountability - and, ultimately, to be tamper-proof.
That is the real question before the Court: does the entire electoral chain - registration, identification, casting, counting, tallying, transmission, verification and declaration - give Kenyans sufficient safeguards that their vote, once cast, cannot be manipulated, mishandled, or rendered impossible to verify?
This is not a personal quarrel with @IEBCKenya. It is a constitutional and public-interest matter.
Sovereignty in this country belongs to the people, and the vote is the sole instrument by which that sovereignty is exercised. An electoral system that cannot be meaningfully verified is not one the Constitution permits us to accept on faith.
I want to be precise about where this matter stands. The High Court has not ruled on the merits. The parties were heard, and the constitutional questions remain before the Court. I respect that process fully and will abide by whatever directions and determination the Court makes.
My role as a citizen, a public representative, and the petitioner in this matter is to ensure these questions are placed squarely before the Court and answered according to the Constitution and the law, not according to convenience or assumption.
Kenyans should not have to be told their votes were counted correctly. They should be able to verify it. That is the standard the Constitution sets, and it is the standard we are asking the Court to enforce.
The vote belongs to the people. The Constitution protects it. Our electoral system must do the same - free, fair, and tamper-proof.
We proceed, firmly and within the law.
God bless Kenya.

A Burundian comes, buys a 200 Bob bucket & 500 Bob thermos, starts cooking kahawa and mandazi, goes around every morning selling to anyone. A Kenyan idiot, sits their buttocks somewhere saying that the Burundian guy is the cause of their unemployment. Very idiotic. Very stupid.
In the next few months, you are going to witness your favorite “influencers” pieces of shit rather, completely collaborate with evil. They will gaslight you with all manner of excuses. They will try to convince you to give this government a chance. They will even rub it in your face.
Because they have to work for the money.
But no matter how hard it gets, don’t forget the truth. Don’t forget all the dynasties have ever done is guard their resources. Don’t forget the hustler just used that narrative to get your votes.
Don’t forget that as your parents retire, their parents are getting luxurious jobs. Don’t forget how much of a mess our education system is.
Don’t forget how much of a mess our healthcare system is. Please don’t forget the ones who walked so you can run.
This is the era of homeguards and real fighters.
No matter how much they tell you to sell your soul, don’t do it. You deserve to sleep better at night knowing you are not a sellout.
This too shall pass✌🏾
Also, yes, I said pieces of shit

This is Zachary Kariuki, a retired police officer @NPSOfficial_KE heading abduction squad directly under the command of @DCI_Kenya director Mr. Amin. They operate outside NPS command structure. Formed to silence government critics. Now you know.
An editor of one of Kenya's largest media groups was abducted by armed men and released hours later at the edge of a dam more than 125 miles away https://t.co/FW4neknWAP
Again, the brutality is the point. Believe your lying eyes. You can't afford what you used to, and you're pointed to a road being built and told the economy is working. You're abducted, or beaten, and told "si sorry bas, we have a good constitution". Goons roam the streets and you're told security starts with you. This is an argument between Kenya's past and its future.
