Court of Appeal Ruling About Presidential Results in Kenya…

Court of Appeal has ruled that presidential  results at the constituency will be final, which means Chebukati has no powers to alter the results.
The ruling says in summary:
“The appellant (IEBC) is a body corporate. The Chair (as an individual) can NOT purport to ‘verify or confirm’ a result sent via electronic means by the 290 Constituency Returning Officers. He can ONLY accurately and correctly collate (combine), announce the total and if an aspirant has reached the threshold set in Article 138, declare the winner.
The results from the constituency can NOT be modified or manipulated after the Returning Officer has ELECTRONICALLY transmitted it. It is hypocritical for the IEBC (Chair) to question the integrity of data from its own employees… Any disputes arising therein can ONLY be adjudicated by an Electoral Court after an Electoral Petition”

The ruling continues:
“To suggest that the the Chairperson has the power, under Kenyan law, to add, subtract, multiply, divide, alter or vary the results electronically transmitted from the Constituency tallying centres is to assert an illegitimate mandate… It is evident from the architecture of our laws that the Kenyan people did not intend to vest such sweeping and unbounded authority over a single individual…. Elections are determined by voter turnout -not the IEBC Chairperson!”

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...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
