Who said it's group work? Every judges sat on his or her own - by most account - they most locked themselves in their houses with their assistants (SCOK judges have personal staff working for them - researchers, analysts, personal assistants) - and took whatever approach - they deemed right to determine the truth. How they did this is irrelevant. The elephant in the house is that somebody is lying. It's either Njoki or Nyakai or IEBC. My prayer is we need to do another round of verification as legal review. The election has been annulled...but we have retained all the materials..precisely for such an exercise.
Did she scrutinize the forms on her own or did she also invite Ojwang? Where and when?
Nope! Thats not how its done. Judges dont ambush each other in court with fresh new findings. They each do they work and they all deliberate together. Thats how they know the majority decision and dissenting. They dont just discover that in court when each delivers their ideas and then they find, suprise suprise, my decision is in the minority! right along with the rest of us.
Kadame,
That is very true in an ideal world. However, this is Kenya we're talking about, all is not as it seems. While the judges were locked away writing their opinions, Njoki was waiting for the Mortician to deliver her opinions to her.
The more I hear snippets of her submission the angrier I get, how can she get away with delivering a political statement, prepared by one of the respondents disguised as a dissenting opinion.
As far as I am concerned, Jubilee had it's lawyers, Muite, the unfriendly Amicus, Njoki and Ojwang all batting for them to try and reinforce an illegality onto the Kenyan people.
It's actions like these that fuel my desire for the People's Republic, we don't need to reside together hemmed in by the current Kenyan borders. Jubilee are like that bad family in the village, corrupting everything and everyone...
