commission’s offices in a bid to stop illegal activities,. Apparently, Arati
had gotten wind that IEBC officials were in the process of making changes to
form 34As. Angered by the ‘conspiracy’,Arati stormed the offices and brought
everything to a standstill for some time as sort to get to the root of the
matter.

NASA petition ‘acid test’ for Supreme Court – MP-elect Chris Karan
Ugenya MP-elect Chris Karan has termed the NASA presidential
petition an “acid test” for the Supreme Court.
The ODM MP said the court should prove its impartiality by
issuing a fair ruling.
“The Supreme Court is under trial. The public is watching
how the seven judges are going to handle the delicate matter.”
Karan noted a similar case presented to the court in 2013
was hurriedly handled and its determination raised eye brows among the public.
He spoke to The Star on phone after NASA presidential
candidate Raila Odinga announced he will move to the court to challenged
incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta’s victory as declared by IEBC.
The politician emphasized that only a fair determination by
the court will help it restore the faith the public has lost.
Of the election, he added: “It was a formatted computer
programmed exercise which was decided in a board room and which we cannot
accept.”

television sets on Wednesday evening as NASA made their much-awaited
announcement.
Ugunja resident Peter Onyiso lauded Raila for moving to

power and ensure their ruling is not swayed or compromised by “powerful forces
of impunity”.
Joho Celebrates Win In Dar With Sex Parties As Raila Heads To Supreme Court
Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho spent the better part of
this week celebrating his victory in Dar es salaam with his political and
business buddies as NASA prepared to launch a petition at the Supreme Court.
Joho, the number two in ODM after Raila had campaigned as
Raila’s top most lieutenant but was conspicuously missing when the NASA leader
needed him most, opting to fly to Dar for binge and sex parties.
The sultan is said to be opposed to the Supreme Court
petition, as he is among the beneficiaries of the ‘computer generated’ results
which NASA is challenging at the Supreme Court.
It is said that he was furious when Raila mentioned Mombasa
as among counties which IEBC had manipulated.
Known to enjoy the company of young girls in high-end clubs
and lounges, he is said to have been hosted by Tanzanian Bongo artist Ali Kiba,
who organized the Dar night parties.
He initially posted photos from the parties on his Instagram
account but deleted them as it became apparent he had goofed, going to Tanzania
at a time his party is actively challenging presidential results.
Jubilee garnered massive votes in Mombasa County, raising
queries as to how this was possible as Joho had all along blocked NASA from
campaigning in the county, claiming it was under lock and key and that he would
deliver it.
In low tones, many people in ODM see him as a traitor and a
mendacious person double-dealing Raila Odinga for his own political survival.
Donald Trump could be first US President in nearly 130
years not to have a pet dog in the White House
President was set to take in a
goldendoodle called Patten - but that has fallen through
They say a dog is man’s best friend
– but Donald Trump could become the first US President for nearly 130
years not to have a canine companion in the White House.
Most American Presidents have had a
least one dog, and many have had several.
Most recently, the Obamas had two
Portuguese water dogs named Sunny and Bo, President George W Bush had two
terriers and a spaniel – as well as his long-horn cow, Ofelia – and President
Clinton had a Labrador named Buddy.
It was rumoured last month that Mr Trump might adopt a Goldendoodle named
Patton, who was being fostered by one of the President’s friends, Lois Pope.
But Ms Pope reportedly decided to keep Patton herself after falling for his
charms – and Mr Trump is not believed to have any immediate plans to get
another.
The last President not to have a dog was William McKinley, who died of
gangrene a year into his second term after a failed assassination attempt.
According to the Presidential Pet Museum, the dog-less President McKinley
kept several kittens, roosters and a parrot.
It is not known whether or not Mr Trump cares for dogs. Although he is known
as a prolific tweeter, the only dog-related tweets his feed reveals are a series
of references to people he has clashed with being “fired like a dog”, “begging
like a dog” or “choking like a dog”.
He attacked journalist Chuck Todd on Twitter in 2015, saying: “I hear that
sleepy eyes @chucktodd will be fired like a dog from ratings starved Meet the
Press? I can’t imagine what is taking so long!” And he said of his Republican rival Mitt Romney last year: “Mitt
Romney had his chance to beat a failed President but he choked like a dog. Now
he calls me racist – but I am least racist person there is.”
His dog-related similes led the Daily Dot to write an article last June
claiming: “Donald Trump has no idea what dogs are or what they do.”
