David Maraga certifies as urgent case to stop Kenya election[/SIZE]
TUESDAY OCTOBER 24 2017

Chief Justice David Maraga has certified a case seeking to stop Thursday’s presidential poll as urgent.

The CJ also directed the petitioners— Mr Khalef Khalifa, Mr Samuel Mohochi and Mr Gacheke Gachuhi— to file their submissions by Tuesday 6pm.

CREDIBILITY

He also asked the respondents— Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and presidential candidates— to file their responses and submissions by Wednesday morning.

The CJ said the case will be heard on Wednesday despite being a public holiday.

The three moved to court arguing that the prevailing environment in the country cannot guarantee a credible poll.

Further, the petitioners, through their lawyers John Khaminwa and Harun Ndubi, argue that IEBC commissioners are divided and the commission, cannot guarantee a fair and credible poll.

They claim in the petition that there is a real danger of disenfranchising more than six million voters of a leading candidate who has withdrawn from the race.

To them, Mr Odinga having pulled out of the repeat State House race, the election stands cancelled.

They argue that the gazette notice announcing the new poll date stands vacated after Mr Odinga withdrew.

INTERFERENCE

National Super Alliance (Nasa) candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka pulled out of the election after their demands for reforms at IEBC before the poll were ignored.

The petitioners also claim that IEBC is not prepared for the repeat poll because of constant intimidation and threats directed at its staff.

They also claim there is continued political interference, intimidation, threats and pressure from politicians and protestors, towards IEBC and its employees.

“That there is evidence that establishes real threat that the scheduled fresh election shall not comply with the order of the Supreme Court,” reads part of the application.

There is a risk, they argue, that the poll might not be held in a significant number of counties— thereby plunging Kenyans and their lives into jeopardy.

Not amused at all

what the fuck is this bullshit now again!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Muziki bila jasho.no elections

Maraga has to start getting serious with the direction he’s taking this country.

By this time kesho the SCOK itakuwa imeshageuka korti bandia

Naona the dates will be pushed to Jan. No wonder babuon today retracted the mega demo thing on thursday and instead asked his supporters to be peaceful and stay home, same way he told his followers to accept the SC ruling during the petition. Hii wameongea na Maraga wamemaliza

makes a lot of sense.

economically this country will be in the dogs if this happens. This Maraga is a malaya!!

sasa tutachapa foreplay tena for the next three months? yaani huyu dame anaitwa elections hajakua wet bado…

I won’t be surprised when akina njoki ndungu wakistep down or the legal term used for the same. Make sure the SC does not meet the quota and basically disband it.
This will all end with Maraga being kicked out of the SC wakiwa na kinyagarika mwilu.

If he postpones, he’ll have arrogantly shown his open bias for babuon

Kenya must now be the most litigous country in Africa

I said this last two days will be interesting

Incredible. But if there is a people who are resilient, it is Kenyans. This too shall pass, BUT! but there must be some serious changes. Enough is enough.

Jubilee filed a case in the same court against Raila Odinga in relation to the same election, why was it not certified urgent?? Biased court

Wanadhani Matiang’i ni kipii akiita 2 days public holiday???
MATAJUA MAJUI

Because this is what he thinks of UhuRuto…
