It was what I call willful laziness - a lethal but popular weapon in Kenya among public servants and institutions.
Two days to elections, the IEBC announced that 11K polling stations had no 3G. It was a LIE and many Kenyans went to those locations to tweet photos of the polling stations and set on location for those doubting. Still Chiloba (married to Uhuru's niece) refused to budge.
Now I read Kasait's affidavit ( a repetitive piece of crap) in which she claims the KIEMS (brace for it...) FAILED again to transmit the forms and they had to be taken to Nairobi. They took longer than the Returning officers from Central that Kivuitu was waiting for.
The point is the IEBC decided to disobey the Court of appeal ruling that decreed and made result transmission from the field mandatory. They set up a Bomas again and continued as if no court had disallowed that.
My Prediction and please take note of it: Jubilee will not allow the Supreme Court to make a judgement. There are the following options:
1. Bribe them
2. Intimidate
3. Sabotage
Njoki Ndungu has been working Justices Lenaola, Wanjala and Mohamed Ibrahim. She already controls Ojwang. Maraga is a shoo in but can not resist if the majority go in one direction. He is a rudderless man.
In the end the evidence is overwhelming. The NIS failed to sabotage the evidence and above all the IEBC screwed up by giving NASA what they should never have. They are in a quandary.
That means the judges will not go for 1 or 2 as it will be too obvious - and not because they are upright men.
That leaves 3. Uhuru will:
1. Kill three judges and ask Njoki to recuse herself
2. Engineer a scandal where the court will lack quorum
Either way I don't see the SCOK delivering a judgement if it is against Uthamaki.
Omollo, Kenya is a very special place. Whereas medical mri scans can be sent from San Francisco to India in a flash, we've somehow failed to send a scanned A4 sheet from nyando to bomas in nbo. Reminds me of tharaka nithi RO that took days "walking back to centre.
Lazy electoral thieves.
