Washaanza mikakati ya kuchakachua kura za 2013

[Ab-Titchaz]

STEP ONE: Mess up the voter registry by registering fake members who are not genuine party members. An illegal move because it involves getting somebody's personal information and registering them as members of your party against the knowledge and will.

Political parties in members registration fraud

Updated Friday, January 04 2013 at 00:00 GMT+3

Standard Reporter

With less than three months to the next general elections and the deadline for party nominations fast approaching it is emerging that political parties are in a rush to attract new members actually engaged in fraud.

Under the new election rules a political party is only considered a national party if it has at least two thousand registered members in each of the 47 counties a feat that proved to be a hard task for most of the parties fielding candidates for the next elections.

Details now indicate that political parties fraudulently registered members in a bid to gain legitimacy… what started as isolated complaints by Kenyans on social media has unearthed an ugly party registration fraud.

Many Kenyans through the social media on Thursday evening expressed shock at finding out they were registered as political party members without their consent.

This raises questions such as who is responsible for this kind of fraud, who made it easy to access peoples data without their consent and what are the implications of such actions.

STEP TWO: Involve the Registrar of Politcal Parties ( A Kibaki appointee who has shown maximum ineptitudeness in doing her job.) Have her start a blame game and show Kenyans she has no power whatsoever to confront the involved parties despite the fact that fraud is an offense that is punishable by de-registering the political party involved.

TNA blames Ndung'u over false members list

Saturday, January 5, 2013 - 00:00 -- BY WALTER MENYA

The IEBC and TNA were yesterday engaged in a blame game over the false registration of party members.
TNA chairman Johnson Sakaja pointed an accusing finger at the Registrar of Political Parties for introducing the names, including those of media personalities, to their party register to discredit the party.

"We take exception to the incident that occurred where there have been claims that certain people have been fraudulently registered as members of TNA. We want the IEBC to get to the bottom of this matter," Sakaja told the press at TNA headquarters yesterday.

The chair said the anomaly could have been carried out by rival parties to discredit TNA and to influence nominations.

"It is not in our interest to have non-members on our register especially just before nominations. We believe there are people who want to cast aspersions on our credibility," he said.

But the Registrar of Political Parties Lucy Ndung'u yesterday disputed Sakaja's claims saying thay have proof that the persons fraudulently listed in the party list came from TNA.

Ndung'u said her office has given each party a software and unique code to enter their members that cannot be tampered with once submitted, either by her office or the party concerned.

She said they have proof, which include the internet protocol address, the time the list was submitted and the identity of the person who was responsible for forwarding the data from the party offices.

These details, she said, will be disclosed to the party in response to the letter TNA has written to complain.

"As far as I know our data is very clear. This data came from TNA and bears the party code and the unique code cannot allow outsiders and rival parties to recruit members and forward to us on behalf of other parties," said Ndung'u.

Meanwhile, Sakaja announced that TNA will hold its primaries on January 17, just a day to the deadline set by IEBC.

Why cry fraud very early yet the elections are not yet. There has been falsehoods peddled and the black-markings have started been engineered against the new IEBC chairman isaack hassan over abilty to oversee through the electoral process. what does the new constitution say about respect of institutions?! Why do you have fear if you are confident about your campaigns then focus on your strategy and give others a peaceful time within the democratic space to conduct their campaigns.

Mkuu, kwanza kabisa nakutakia kheri ya mwaka mpya, nimejaribu kufatilia kwa karibu majibizano baina ya ndugu zetu wa Kenya, kitu ninacho kiona pale wa angalizi wa kutoka nje wanapaswa kuwa makini sana na software zinazotumika katika upigaji kura - kuna uwezekano mkubwa wa kuongezea an embeded sub-routine katika software hizo ili ziweze kubadirisha matokeo ya upigaji kura, kwa watu weledi wa mambo ICT hiyo ni kazi ndogo sana!

Kumbuka kisanga cha jimbo la Florida na majimbo mengine nchini Merikani wakati wa upigaji kura kati ya Bush Jr na Al Gore - mdogo wake Bush i.e Jeb akishirikiana na mama fulani nimesahau jina lake walitumia mbinu hizo hizo kubadirisha matokeo ya upigaji kura.

Mkuu Bukyanagandi,

Huwa napenda kusoma post zako kwa sababu ya mtazamo wa undani kama ulivyoelezea hapo juu.

Nuff sed!

Mzeiya,

why do you like using bush-reasoning when it comes to obvious matters?

What does the constitution say about voter fraud?...Lets start there first.

Its prudent for you to look at how the IEBC under Isaack Hassan is operating to know that they
are lame ducks without any power to do nothing. All there instructions are coming from a different
quarter....a puppet on a string so to speak.

Nobody is fearing anything...all that people are asking is that the rule of law applies across the board...and
I mean ALL PARTIES!

Mkuu I hope this is not a ploy to charge and disrupt the electorate before they conduct their job.

MARAKWET East MP Linah Kilimo has said she will go to court and sue William Ruto's URP for transferring her name from TNA to URP without her consent.

"I will meet my lawyer to find the way forward on this matter," said Kilimo. "I cannot accept some people who are not happy with my membership at TNA to dictate to the people of Elgeyo/Marakwet county. We are in TNA by choice."

Kilimo accused URP of transferring her supporters who had registered in TNA in the Elgeyo/Marakwet county. "URP has breached the law, how can all my supporters who were members of TNA including even my bodyguard become members of URP?" asked the MP.

Quote from a blogger:

It is a dishonourable and ignominious shame that the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) Lucy Ndung'u has blatantly refused to follow the law by deregistering TNA despite overwhelming evidence of massive fraud. Even her TV interviewer (in the NTV clip) and a studio producer found themselves in the TNA register against their own will. How did they fraudulently enter these databases? The law calls for deregistration of such fraud-based parties. The massive scale of the fraud is inexcusable by any means.

It is clear to the whole world that TNA is desperately trying to project a false sense of invincibility in numbers which do not actually exist. They have been caught pants down – illegally inflating their registration database. But the Registrar of Political Parties has turned a blind eye – clearly abetting the fraud and illegality by TNA.

This Lucy Ndung'u needs to face the law – for abuse of office. This is one office (RPP) which should have been filled afresh as per the new Constitution – whose transition chapters mandated a fresh replacement back in August 2012. But the impunity-driven Kibaki cronies unconstitutionally stood their ground in retaining this biased and shameless Lucy Ndung'u in that office – precisely to assist them rig elections. All evidence shows Lucy Ndung'u is abetting fraud to justify her continued unconstitutional stay in office. She is definitely on TNA's payroll.

Lucy Ndung'u has at her disposal, the identifying code for persons who illegally/fraudulently ‘recruited' hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting people by entering them into the TNA database. Each time a recruitment is done – the recruiter's pass code appears in the computer database. Lucy Ndung'u has deliberately chosen to turn a blind eye to this serious CRIME – leaving the sacred cows perpetrating this fraud untouched.

In fact, Lucy Ndung'u has resorted to the false equivalency argument – claiming that ‘all' parties are after all affected by such fraud. It was such a shameless display of impunity in that interview. She sub-consciously became the TNA advocate, downplaying if not defending the fraud on national TV.

She is even brazenly transferring the burden of redressing the fraud to the victims themselves…asking them to individually write to her office…then she will contact TNA and ‘ask them to remove' those names from their database. What about victims who are illiterate? What about those without internet access – who may not even find out they are fraudulently registered in TNA?

It is quite disheartening to realize that all political parties in our democracy (under Kibaki) are forced to compete with diehard thieves and fraudsters – with the referees openly siding with the thieving. This smacks of the brazen election thievery of 2007, which resulted in bloodshed and mayhem. Is this surely the country we want to resign into..a country of, by, and for THIEVES?

The civil society should spring into action and take steps to have this woman face the full force of the law. Kenya must insist on being a country governed by the rule of law…not perpetual fraud and thievery. Other political parties must insist on immediate filling of a new Registrar of Political Parties…because this is a disaster waiting to happen! Let this matter be addressed now! A stitch in time saves nine!

are people sensing defeat very early hence throwing in their frustrations quite early?!

 

[Ab-Titchaz]

are people sensing defeat very early hence throwing in their frustrations quite early?!

That's not the case Edzeame,

People regardless of party affiliation are calling for an election that will pass the integrity test by being above these
shenanigans.

For example what's this mess reported in the press about IEBC materials being impounded in somebody's
private house as they were being re-branded? Seriously, the IEBC cant even account for the voting materials
which is a crucial part of the voting process? Who is in charge?

This not about people sensing defeat, its about fairness and a process that is above board.
That's all.



Questions raised as police impound IEBC election material


Updated 26 mins ago

By GEOFFREY MOSOKU


Nairobi, Kenya: Security concerns are being raised on election materials after Administration Police officers in Nairobi on Tuesday evening impounded thousands of bags belonging to the Independent Elections and Boundary Commission (IEBC) that were being rebranded from a private house.

The bags were part of a Sh80 million tender awarded to a private firm by the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for supply and delivery of election materials.

The director of the firm was unable to explain to security agents why he was transferring material from a government warehouse to a private residence, with inadequate security, to rebrand them with just 54 days to the General Election.

The bags in question are issued to clerks recruited by the electoral body to carry election materials. The APs from Utawala police post were holding the suspect cache of more than 200,000 bags that were being offloaded from a lorry to a private residence under construction in the area.
The police officers from the nearby Utawala police post said they had noticed suspicious movements when the lorry had delivered the first batch and returned with another batch.

On inquiring what the lorry was carrying, it turned out to be the bags with the logo of IIEC, the predecessor of IEBC.

A Mr Omondi who arrived at the scene moments after the bags were impounded explained to the police that IEBC had awarded him a tender to re-brand 279,100 bags at a cost of Sh13.9 million. He gave the police the documents to show he had won the tender and an LPO to supply them but could not provide documents authorising the movement and re-branding of the bags.

According to the documents given to the police, Omondi's company, Hopeland Advertising and Design Limited, was given the tender to supply various materials to IEBC; which include 36,000 polling station banners, 580 constituency Tallying Centre banners, 94 county tallying centre banners, two national tallying centre banners and the rebranding of the IEBC bags. The cost of the entire tender is quoted as Sh79,971,800. However, police were not convinced with the documents and asked him to provide other letters allowing him to rebrand the bags since the tender letter and the LPO provided were not enough to prove legitimate ownership of the bags.

By Wednesday, the cops were still holding the vehicle at the scene and were yet to ascertain if the documents provided by the owner of the house were genuine.
According to Austin Otieno of Hopeland Limited, there was nothing sinister in the bags being transferred from Government warehouse in Industrial Area to the private residence.

"You can verify from the documents that were procedural in transferring those bags from the Government ware house to the area. We opted to use that property which is owned by Omondi since there is space," Otieno who identified himself as an administrator of Hopeland told The Standard on phone.

In the backdrop of this latest development, IEBC chair Isaack Hassan had Wednesday assured President Kibaki that the everything was set for the March 4 polls.

The Head of State also assured that security would be given priority and the Government would mobilise officers from all State security agencies to ensure a secure and peaceful election. In this regard, a meeting will be held between the IEBC, the National Police Service and Provincial Administration to discuss security development during the polls.

Ab-Titchaz that is a strategy of losers, their trick is always blame the electorate, create confusion and environment of tension around the electorate as it conducts the polls. the strategy is quite exposed now and will be of no effect.

So where exactly did the bags go
and is there a team to monitor the movements of the electoral material. the arrival of the BVR from Canada is recorded, and the election material I believe is recorded also in media houses. How the incident failed to appear before a running video cam is still puzzling given the reporter was on site. stop being uneasy and restless BTW March 4 is just around the corner.
