IEBC performance in 2013 was much worse than that of ECK in 2007.

According to the Form 36 for the election of Governor for Meru County, the total valid votes cast were 423,247. Of these, the Form 36 says, Peter Munya got 184,273 votes while Kilemi Mwiria got 180,837 votes, making the difference between the two candidates 3, 436. The Form 36 also indicates that the total votes cast were 428,273. According to the results subsequently published by the IEBC, pursuant to the Political Parties Act, and posted on the IEBC website, the total valid votes cast in the gubernatorial election for Meru were 420,520. Of these, Peter Munya got 184,273 votes while Kilemi Mwiria got 180,273 votes, making the difference between the two candidates 4,000 votes. The results subsequently published by the IEBC also indicate that the total votes cast were 425,807. As regards the senatorial election, the results subsequently published by the IEBC indicate that the total votes cast were 421,272. The same results (subsequently published) indicate that the total votes cast in the Women Rep election for Meru was 417, 204. The question is, if the IEBC was using the same roll of voters in all these elections, how can we have variances running into thousands of votes in respect fo the total votes cast in each election? I now believe, as I saw someone comment on TV, that we had another 2007 in 2013, except that there was no PEV in 2013. Actually, I now believe the IEBC performance in 2013 was much worse than that of ECK in 2007.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
