Hot seat

Suppose the chairman of IEBC was from Central Kenya, I don’t think the talk would be too pleasing about his performance

heheh ingeitwa JEBC… Jubillee Electoral and Boundaries Commission

Double standards I tell you. A dim eye ora squint eyes voting for his tribesman RAT and the melon is a democrat, a shiny eyes or Kale are tribalist for voting UhuruRuto.

It has always been the narrative…voting for RAT is brave and visionary while voting for UHURUTO is tribalism and backwardness

A good thing we don’t care. Or rather I don’t give a fuck about what anyone says or do.

Already, vice chairlady Nkatha is being fried na mafuta ya joma! Wanasema anamfanyia Chebukati vile Alice Wahome alimfanyia Malonza. Hehehe!

As long a she keeps the teetering idiot on the straight and narrow. Remember, he echoed Akombe and JaKuon, saying that the IEBC was not in a position to conduct elections.

The gutter press found something to write on the Akombe-Magaya connection

Huyu Magaya aliendanga wapi simskii siku hizi

went mum after the scare about his arrest for calling for demos…same time Akombe resigned

it is becoming increasingly impossible to chair IEBC and Anti corruption bodies

But Chebukati is a mess.
Knowing the sensitivity and mistrust in the commission, why go ahead and release unverified data then keep tying himself in knots as he tries to explain the correct position?
There’s something seriously wrong with the man, the pressure at IEBC notwithstanding.

IEBC imetuAIBSha

Are you aware Jakuonists saw it fit to release his personal mobile number and that of the other commissioners and incited them to harass them. We already know that Jakuonists are more than capable of harassment, we can guess as to who was threatening some of the commissioners. Kenyans are now called upon to do the opposite when contacting Jakuon.

Maraga hayuko hapa. The boycotters, disruptors and those who tried to loot and burn his Nyamira home are free to let him know of their concerns about the so called nomination exercise.

My sentiments exactly. This guy is a damn fool. When in that position, and with hyenas snipping your butt every which way, you should be stubborn and refuse to give tidbits of info that conflict each other! Kwani wewe u mtoto? You’ve never faced pressure before? Only give information that has gone thru the health and taste tests, otherwise you’ll be fumbling all over the place trying to explain things that cannot be explained.

Chebukati should only be allowed to feed chickens and nothing else. He very nearly made people start fighting not to mention looking like a damn fool.

Communicating science is always a problem. It becomes worse when you try to explain processes with the relevant maths and you are not the expert in the field you are trying to explain. I can imagine when the issue came up the PR people went to the IT/telecoms people for an explanation. The scientists came up with technical explanations that included mathematical models that even the PR people did not understand so they did the easy thing…they simply retitled the document from the scientists as a press statement and passed it on to a tired chairman…sorry had to go and pee…
So the chairman ended with a communications disaster because he was explaining science he didn’t quite grasp or was seeing for the first time; hence the fumbling. The PR people failed him.
Another thing that was wrong is the use of hesabu mingi. it is a joke in the communications industry is that the only numbers people like to hear about in a speech is the amount of money (and the size of breast cups!). Any other number and formulae will have the audience shut you out because they cannot process the numbers and scenarios you are talking about as fast as you are spewing them out. some even interpret your lack of communication as an attempt at obfuscation, hence they take on an adversarial stance. Woe unto you if in the audience are some of those A-hole journalists who want to show that they know better than everyone else and they will shoot questions direct from others’ twitter accounts that even they do not understand, hoping to trip you.
The Chairman’s statement yesterday fell in the realms of crisis and science communications. The first is especially a minefield when there are people looking (and even praying ) for you to trip so that they get an angle to spin or even just someone to blame. Science communication, on the other hand requires that you give a thought to the mama mboga so that you do not say stuff that will just pass over her head.
The two areas have become danger areas for communicators in the age of social media where reactions are instantaneous (and I daresay not very accurate…with people like @D… Mungai very eager to analyse and prove you wrong).
In short, yesterday’s press statement was so important (the entire credibility of the election rode on it) it should never have been handed to the chairman to read the way it is (and I am not saying he is incompetent) as it was very poorly packaged. It should have been broken down into a simple narrative and the maths and science of it passed on to the journalists as an annexature to the press release.
The problem was not Chebukati. It was his communications people. They either did not know what they were doing or they set him up to fail.

Kazi zingine ni stress hata mkanilipa pesa ngapi sigwes na sigwes
