UHURU INSULTS KISIIS, AGAIN!!!

President Uhuru in his tour of Bungoma had no kind words to say to Kisii.

Speaking in Kimilili, Bungoma County, Uhuru is reported to have alluded confidence in winning the presidential elections without the Kisii votes.

“Hao wakisii hata wasipo nipigia kura bado nitashinda,Raila ametuchelewesha kazi miezi mbili sasa”, Uhuru Kenyatta.

 Uhuru’s comments follows protests from Kisii against his comments targeted at the Chief Justice David Maraga.

Justice Maraga, a Kisii and a staunch Adventist, delivered the historic ruling annulling the presidential elections.

In their 4-2 ruling, the justices cited illegalities and irregularities committed by the IEBC that compromised the integrity of the August Presidential election and ordered a new poll in 60 days.

Uhuru had initially accepted the ruling but later launched a barrage of insults at the Supreme Court justices and especially the Chief Justice.

“We will beat the Opposition just like we did on August 8. In fact, we will double or triple our votes.”

The DP wondered why Opposition leaders have no faith in the IEBC “and yet MPs, governors and MCAs from NASA, whose elections were managed by the same electoral body, have been sworn-in”.

“We have NASA MPs, governors and MCAs who were elected and it was the IEBC which managed the elections,” he said.

“Why are they now saying they have no faith in the same body that made them who they are now? They should resign and seek fresh mandates from the electorate if they have no faith in IEBC.”

Earlier today, Raila said Jubilee leaders belong in jail and are people you cannot compete with.

This was part of his response to a memo by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati which posed 13 questions on election failures to CEO Ezra Chiloba.

Ironically, Uhuru before the August 8th Elections had made similar statements about Bungoma. That he would still win without their votes.

A leaked memo from IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati to the IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba probably explains why Uhuru would be confident to win without anyone voting for him.

In the memo, Chebukati detailed numerous failures by the secretariat that formed a key part of Supreme Court proceedings and which on totality means the entire election results were a sham as pre-determined results were in put and fake forms used to match those results.

Uhuru: I've a right to criticise CJ Maraga

President Kenyatta has defended his criticism of the Supreme Court and Chief Justice David Maraga for overturning his re-election, saying he has "a right" to do so.

Speaking during campaigns in Kajiado County on Tuesday, Mr Kenyatta reiterated his claim that the top court in the land ignored the will of the people to “please one man”, in reference to the petitioner Raila Odinga.

'ANGRY'

“I am angry because I was wronged. They wrongfully overturned my victory. We should tell the truth,” he said during a vote-hunt rally in Kiserian.

He said while he respected the court’s decision, he knows he "fairly" won the August 8 presidential poll by more 1.4 million votes.

Despite the loss, Mr Kenyatta said, they were confident of winning again.

Accompanied by Deputy President William Ruto and a host of Jubilee leaders, the president said nothing had changed as the Kenyans who voted them are the same.

"We won fair and square. We won by over 1.4 million votes, but the court decided to deny us our victory. We are more than ready for the fresh elections," said Mr Kenyatta.

SH10 BILLION

The President further asserted that it would have been prudent for the court to order a recount of the votes, as the Sh10 billion budget required for the repeat election would have been used for development.

He gave the example of American Supreme Court, which ordered a recount in the dispute between former US President George Bush and Al Gore in 2004.

"It would be easier, but they chose a free election. This is tantamount to denying rights to over 15 million voters who participated in the August's poll," said Mr Kenyatta.

He accused Mr Odinga of using his criticism of Mr Maraga to incite the Kisii community against him and Jubilee Party.

“Raila is simply inciting the Kisiis by misleading them that I'm blaming the CJ simply because he's a Kisii. I am just expressing my opinion,” he said.

“They should leave me alone. When he criticised Matiang’i (for deploying police to maintain order after poll), didn't he know he is a Kisii?”

LET UHURU CONTINUE BEING PRESIDENT, UNLESS...

NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has said that IEBC erred in declaring new election date without consulting stake holders. Raila stated that there are still many issues that remain unresolved and should be addressed before the commission is allowed to conduct fresh polls. He also criticised the electoral commission for not following court orders by locking out other candidates. 
 “IEBC officials should not be allowed to conduct the election but instead be sent home, investigated and prosecuted for heinous acts,” Raila said. 
 The NASA leader also proposed that the elections should be held on October 24 and national exams should be pushed ahead by two weeks. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) yesterday announced October 17, 2017 as the new presidential election dates.
 The commission has determined that only Raila, the presidential results petitioner, and Uhuru, the third respondent in the Supreme Court case, Uhuru Kenyatta, shall appear on the ballot. Kenyans will be going back to vote following last week's nullification of Uhuru's re-election by the Supreme Court.
