JUBILEE protests IEBC's move on spoilt votes

[Ab-Titchaz]

mkuu @Ab-Tichatz hii katiba iko ambiguous na inavyoonekana italeta matatizo makubwa, tuombe wapite salama ili waifanyie marekebisho. Naamini na Warioba na wenzake nao wanafuatilia haya ili waepuke shida hizi kwenye katiba waitengenezayo

Mkuu,

hapa sasa nd'o mimi ninaugomvi na lile bunge llopita. Jamaa badili ya kulainisha maswala ya katiba, walikua bize
wanajiongeza mshahara. Sasa leo hii maji kidogo yanazidi unga. Right we gonna have to deal with it as it is.

Ab-Titchaz , baada ya kusoma hizo extracts ulioweka hapo juu, kwa namna fulani nakubaliana na mawazo ya ZeMarcopolo hapo juu na pengine naiona hoja ya Jubilee.

Najaribu kujiuliza, what is a vote? and what is a ballot paper? Kwa kiswahili nadhani "vote" ni kura (ni dhana inayoonesha uamuzi wa mtu/mpiga kura), wakati 'ballot paper' ni 'karatasi ya kupigia kura' (ie. karatasi ambayo mpiga kura anaonesha uchaguzi/uamuzi wake). Sasa kama 'ballot paper' imejazwa katika njia ambayo maafisa hawawezi ku determine kwa usahihi "uamuzi" (vote") wa mpiga kura, then kimsingi huyo mpiga kura atahesabika kama "hajafanya uamuzi wowote" (has not cast/'casted' his "vote"), ingawa alifika kituoni na kujaza "ballot paper".

Katiba, inazungumzia "...votes cast in the election" ( na sio "ballot papers" zilizojazwa katika uchaguzi).

Once a ballot paper has been dropped in the ballot box, it becomes a vote!

Hii ngoma itafikia pale ambapo the man with the best lawyer will carry the day.

Over to the learned friends!

All votes cast? Including those that ideally do not belong to the presidential ballot box?

Yes all votes cast!...Thats what the Constitution says mkuu.

Napata shida sana kuelewa definition ya rejected votes. Hapa namnukuu Isaack Hassan "For any rejected vote for any candidate, they were being multiplied by eight," said the IEBC chairman.

Rejected vote inaweza vipi kuwa for a certain candidate?

Huyu Isaack, mimi nilipoteza imani kwake kitambo sana. Hebu sasa angalia hio kauli ilivyokaa kiholelaholela
kana kwamba anataka watu wazushe!

 

[Dr. Job]

Can somebody tell me why there is a huge difference on the number of spoilt votes now and those we had before????

Huge difference....that should tell y'all something!

The lesson I get from the Kenyan experience is the fact that in a tightly contested election each single vote counts and could determine the outcome of the election.
