Uhuru, Ruto take on Judiciary over poll victory nullification
Just a day after the Supreme Court of Kenya annulled his election win last month and ordered a new poll within 60 days, President Uhuru Kenyatta has launched a scathing attack on the Judiciary saying that it is a problem that must be fixed.
Speaking at State House, Nairobi on Saturday, September 2, President Kenyatta once again reiterated that he validly won the August 8, 2017 presidential elections, exuding confidence that he will still trounce Raila Odinga in the repeat polls.
President Kenyatta branded Chief Justice David Maraga-led Judiciary ?hypocrites?, owing to the fact that the court system sent its judges countrywide to swear-in governors, yet it says that that electoral process was not as the constitution dictates.
?We clearly have a problem with our Judiciary, and we shall re-visit this thing. We are not scared of you, you have done your ruling and we shall respect. Let IEBC come up with a date so that we prove that we won fairly,? said President Kenyatta.
Deputy President William Ruto also repeated his message from Friday, September 1 that four Supreme Court Judges tried to subvert the will of 15 million people and that they will prove them wrong in the repeat polls.
?We are not stupid, how is it possible to win the majority in both National Assembly and Senate and that we haven?t won the presidential elections? What kind of logic is that to Maraga and his three colleagues?? questioned DP Ruto.
The DP said that the electoral commission, IEBC, as currently constituted will conduct the fresh polls, something that will spike angry jibes from the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) which has said that they are not comfortable that the current Wafula Chebukati-led commission will be able to conduct free, fair and credible elections.
EU Commmission nao walikuwa na haya ya kuandika
The European Union Election Observation Mission (EOM) has lauded Kenya?s Supreme Court ruling to annul President Uhuru Kenyatta?s election win last month and ordering a fresh poll within 60 days, saying that ?it demonstrates the independence of Kenya?s Judiciary.?
Through a statement to the press, EOM says that it sent its observers to follow the petition process, praising the court for conducting itself in a diligent, open and thoroughly manner within short timelines.
The commission also lauded lawyers of different teams in the petition as they appreciated the highest court in Kenya and provided an enabling environment for the seven-judge bench to critically and independently execute the petition filed by NASA presidential candidate, Raila Odinga.
However, EOM has defended itself as they were among the international bodies that acknowledged IEBC for conducting what they termed ?a free and transparent electoral process that reflected the will of the people?. EOM says that despite acknowledging that, they were also quick to point out some faults in the process.
?Some shortcomings were noted, including inconsistent procedures for the complementary mechanisms used and staff difficulties in completing results forms. On 16 August the EU EOM called for the IEBC to publish all results forms (34As and 34Bs), as the delay in publication was problematic. Full transparency is necessary for all stakeholders to have confidence in the announced results,? read the statement from EU EOM.
The commission maintains that it remains impartial and independent, observing the elections according to Kenya?s national law and international commitments it has made.
