Drama as Cord, Jubilee politicians are thrown out of Bomas


By Mwaniki Munuhe



Nairobi, Kenya: There was drama at the National Tallying Centre at Bomas of Kenya as members of CORD and Jubilee threatened to take over the podium the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners were using to announce the presidential results.

Trouble started when some politicians started shouting at the IEBC commissioners as they announced results from various constituencies on the grounds that some of the results being announced had not been verified.

The unfolding drama forced IEBC officials to order that members of both coalitions leave the auditorium.

It was after the move by the IEBC to throw them out that the two camps regrouped outside the Bomas of Kenya Cafeteria where they initially agreed to storm into the auditorium but on walking in, they found commissioners relaying some of the results with tight security around the podium.

Sections of politicians argued that the results being announced had not been verified by agents at the national tallying centre.

The IEBC officials however met representatives of both camps in what was an apparent attempt by the electoral body to understand what the grievances of the politicians were.

By the time of going to press, it was agreed that two representatives representing each presidential candidate be allowed into the tallying room.

Speaking to The Standard, former Sumba MP elect John Mbadi said the leaders were disgruntled because beside IEBC allegedly not allowing agents into the tallying room, agents were receiving forms of the presidential results after announcement of the results.

"This is a national tallying centre like the one at the county and constituency level. You must allow in agents now we do not know what is going in there because IEBC has chased out all agents. As we speak, no coalition is represented in that room," he said

"Giving us forms after announcing the results will not help because there is no law that allows retraction of results once announced," he added.

Some of the leaders involved in this protests included Johnstone Muthama, James Orengo, William Kabogo, Dalmas Otieno , John Mbadi and Tirus Ngahu among others.

"The IEBC began the verification process well but after announcing about five constituencies, they kicked out the party representatives and went behind closed doors, where there is no check on what they are doing. They are announcing results very quickly, without verifying from the primary source, ie, the polling stations. These results have not been verified or authenticated. CORD officials tried to speak with the IEBC but commissioners sneaked out through a back door and had the CORD officials ejected by force when they were trying to hold a press conference. The media has given this a blackout. This vote is being stolen just as in 2007.

Let us preach peace"

IEBC wasippotumia hekima na busara kubwa sana katika hili zoezi la kuhesabu kura hapa ndipo panaweza kuleteleza balaa huko mbele ya safari.

Udanganyifu wa aina hiyo huwa unatumika sana Bongo; so be aware na wabongo walioko huko. Hili la kura kuharibika nyingi inanikumbusha yaliyodaiwa kutokea zanzibar 1995

Wanapaswa kutangaza matokeo halisi from voters! Hapa Bomas of Kenya kuna kutokuelewana kati ya vyama na IEBC.
Luckly kambi za Uhuru na Raila wamekuwa kitu kimoja hapa. Kuna errors nyingi sana from IEBC.
