How can you explain a situation where you are sure you voted a NO in a polling station and your view is not factored in the final tally or Turns out a YES???,there might be ‘errors’ in a system but why the duplication of my case in other different stations all over the country??
We were duped into signing into law a constitution that protects the existing politicians and their cronies, but made to believe that the citizens spoke. They will soon take up all the major seats in the counties and the national government using the same old methods, and wananchi will be made to feel it is right. For now, there is very little to do because all the windows of intervention are already closed. However, there is only one small opening left. This is the opportunity for we as professionals to immediately vie for all the positions of leadership and ensure that none of the current leaders goes back into government. It is hard to do because they are still the ones implementing the constitution, since we trusted them with the task. However, we can try. Do not expect fair elections in 2012 or whenever they happen next, if the same leaders we have now remain in power. Since most of you were not open to contrary opinion, it was hard for me to discuss in this forum how the referendum was rigged. Some of you are so blind as to think that electronic voting is devoid of rigging. As a matter of fact, it is the easiest to rig. My point, though, is that the IIEC is not to be trusted to conduct any more elections. It is constituted as is for a reason and is too protected for audit. Most crucially, brothers and sisters, please ensure that someone (especially you computer experts and university students) query and audit how the tallying was done. You will be shocked. If you still doubt, just check what has happened to other countries that have used electronic tallying in elections. You will remember me one day. Please stick close to the lawyers and look for every opportunity to work with them on dealing with blatant impunity even within the implementation process. Note that most of the leaders know they may be going home. In the real sense of the term, this is really their "turn to eat." In a sense, this implementation process is really the most dangerous in the whole transition, because laws will be abused given the chasm between the old and the new dispensations. Just like Raila was sworn in at the promulgation of a constitution that has no prime minister's post, anything may be defended and justified. This transitional point between the two dispensations is partly what made it possible for El Bashir to be sneaked in and out of Kenya with the belief that everyone is too excited to think that there can be mischief not to mention the two insensitive appointments of the CID boss and the NACADA chairman(refer to the past blog) . We have made this government believe that it is popular in that it has delivered a constitution that evaded us for many years, and that we can trust it. The 27th as a date of promulgation was wrong, but none wanted to hear a contrary opinion. All we wanted was the promulgation. Now, you will see and hear things that will shock you and make you realize that this was not the will of Kenyans; things will unfold before your very eyes(The provincial admistration debate for example), but it may be a little late. The only remedy is to stick with one another and work very closely with lawyers, since we do not want the voice of the clergy.
