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.

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...

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...
