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.

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
