Why is Safaricom and IEBC refusing to release this data?

[Namtih58]

Namtih58 kinachohitajika ni kura moja tu au? na wewe hiyo 0.03% umeitoa wapi?

0.03% imetaka kwenye initial results nilitaka kutumia zote.

Kweli kinachohitajika ni kura moja tu. Lakini Odinga akiweza kutoa ushahidi ambao unaonyesha kuwa kura zaidi ama sawa na hizo 0.07% zilichakachuliwa basi mahakama kuu itakuwa haina lingine ila kuamuwa kuwe na run-off.

Hii ni kwasababu Odinga atakuwa amedhibitisha kuwa kuna uwezekano uhuru asingepitisha asilimia hamsini kama kura hizi hazinge chakachuliwa (reasonable doubt).

 

[Geza Ulole]

Planned by Uhuru's team? Where is the evidence?



What does the IEBC got to do with team Uhuru? Did team Uhuru create the IEBC?


This is purely conjectural.

wewe upo dunia gani kutojua kwamba the whole system was created by the inner cycle to assist UK ascend to power? including IEBC?

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

wewe upo dunia gani kutojua kwamba the whole system was created by the inner cycle to assist UK ascend to power? including IEBC?

If that's the case then why the hell did Odinga and others agree to partake in an election which according to your insinuation was a foregone conclusion as who the winner was going to be?

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Duuuh, Rutashubanyuma?
This is too low indeed from you Sir!
Mutula Kilonzo uwezo wake na upambanaji wake Hauna mashaka. Amewahi kushinda kesi kubwa kadhaa, nitazining'iniza hapa. Pia Sheria ya kenya inazuia Waziri yeyote kutinga mahakamani,katika kofia yake. Pia CORD walieleza wazi kuwa the Three Ministers (Namwamba, Orengo,and Kilonzo)will be providing Technical support to Oraro, Amos Wako& co, Hivyo nilichokuwa napinga ni kule wewe kusema ati Raila si chochote si lolote...???
Pili, lazima utambue Hii ni do or die, hivyo wanapaswa kujiandaa ili wakishusha mawe pale Supreme Court basi kama noma na iwe noma. Hivyo huwezi kukurupuka na kusema walipaswa wawe wame-file kesi hadi sasa, why? wacha wajiandae vema, kwani Uhuru na wenzi wake mna mchecheto gani? Nyie kuleni bata tu, but behold i tell you, mtaingia kwenye Vitabu vya Historia kwa A two week presidency.. !!
Hiyo habari ya ati wamefulia hawana uwezo wa kutoa 100M Times 6, ni majungu tuu na uzandiki.
Btw, kwanini kuweka ngumu kuaccess info za IEBC hadi uchukuliwe kiboko (court order)??? lol!

ukwelikitugani ukiona mwathirika hajitokezi hadharani na kudai haki yake ujue haipo...................swala nyeti kama hili huwezi kutegemea uwakilishi halafu upate. Unapona kalonzo amejijaza nafasi za kuteuliwa ubunge ujue alijua hawana ubavu wa kupambana na wakikuyu wanapoungna na wakalenjini..........unapoona raila anakimbilia kibera badala ya kwenda mahakamani ujue wanajua mbivu ziko wapi.......................uzuri time is the best teacher of all......................nilisema raila ataanguka na kweli kaangukia pua.............nilisema kesi za kupinga uhuru na ruta kushiriki uchaguzi zote kutupwa na zilitupwa........na nilisema CORD hawatafanikiwa Supreme Court na dalili za mvua ni mawingu...wanakiri hawana ushahidi wakati wanao............Fomu zote wanazozida wanazo.............wanahusisha Safaricom ambayo iliohusika kwenye provisional results amabzo hazitambuliwi kisheria........................yaani. I just can't wait kumwona raila akitupiwa virago vyake ofisi yake itakuwa ya Rutto kuanzia mach 16th sasa sijui ataelekea ofisi ya ODM au atelekea Bondo?

[Dr. Job]

ukwelikitugani, Ngongo et al,

The Kenyan Constitution empowers every Kenyan citizen the Right to Information more so if its a Government agency handling the information. Emphasis on the highlighted part. Let nobody tell you otherwise.

Thats why the petition starts:

IN THE MATTER OF: ALLEGED CONTRAVENTION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS UNDER ARTICLES 2 (1), 3 (1) 10 (1) (2), 19 (2), 20 (2), 27 (1), 35 (1), 38(1) (2) & (3), 47 (1) (2), 48, 50 (1)(2), 81 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF KENYA 2010
AND

IN THE MATTER OF BREACH OF THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION
BETWEEN
ELIUD OWALO...................……………… …………………..……………………PETITION ER
VERSUS

More information is Contained in The Freedom of Information Bill, 2012 sub-title Right to Information and I quote:

26.

(1) Every citizen has a legally enforceable right to access information held by, or under the control of, a public

authority, in accordance with this Act.

(2) Subject to this Act, every citizen has the right to accessinformation held by, or under the control of a private body where that information is necessary for the enforcement or protection of any right.


(3) Subject to this Act, a person's right to access information is not affected by -

(a) any reason the person gives for seeking access as the right to access of information is independent of a person's

interest; or

(b) the public authority's belief as to what are his reasons for seeking access


(4) A person has the right to access information of a public body or private body expeditiously and inexpensively;


(5) A person has a right of access to information generated, receivedand or held by public bodies, subject only

to such limitations as are necessary for public interest;


(6) this Act shall be interpreted and applied on the basis of a duty todisclose. Non disclosure shall be permitted only

in exceptionally justifiable circumstances;


To my Tanzanian brother and sisters this might be something strange but once again I say its because of the New Constitution that things like these are possible. Please tell Mr Warioba to include such things like 'Freedom of Information" in the new Tanzanian Constitution that is in the works.

IEBC must explain its own reckless announcements and systems failure

Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2013 | By JAINDI KISERO jkisero@ke.nationmedia.com


In Summary

• There was this time when IEBC chairman Issack Hassan sought to explain why the tally for spoilt votes was increasing so rapidly
• He said it was all about a computer error that had artificially increased the tally by multiples of eight without elaborating, leaving room for speculation and all manner of theories
• If a number is being increased by a multiple of eight, isn't it arithmetically the case that the final number should be divisible by eight?
• Before we can apportion blame, we must demand to see copies of all service contracts the IEBC signed with these parties to determine who was supposed to do what. Is it true that IEBC outsourced servers from third parties?

I am praying that the Supreme Court will not let the presidential election petition filed by Prime Minister Raila Odinga drag on for too long.

We must do a serious audit on the performance of commissioners and staff of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

When you make contradictory statements and reckless announcements as the commissioners did while tallying was going on at the Bomas of Kenya tallying centre, you breed suspicions about fraud even where there is none.

Go through the video clips covering the period, and you will see incredible sloppiness in the manner in which the commissioners made the pronouncements.

On Friday morning, we were all glued to television screens - calculators and tablets in hand - doing additions while keeping track of the constituencies whose results had not been announced.

At around midnight, Commissioner Yusuf Nzibo came to the podium to announce that the commission had concluded announcements for that day.He said that tallying had temporarily been suspended to allow political party agents to scrutinise documents.The final announcements and tallying, he added, would be made at 11am the following day.

NTV's Linus Kaikai, who was anchoring a show that was more or less playing the role of watchdog on the tallying process, crunching the numbers to interrogate whether Mr Uhuru Kenyatta would hit the 50 per cent threshold of all votes cast, decided it was time to go to sleep.

"Gentlemen", he told the guests on the programme, "we have an early night". He promised viewers that programming would resume the following day in line with the announcement by Mr Nzibo.

Meanwhile, the live feed from the tallying centre was left to continue running on the screen.

As it turned out, Mr Kaikai was wrong. A few hours after the watchdogs had gone to sleep, another commissioner, completely out of the blue, and without making reference to what Dr Nzibo had said, came on and started announcing other results.

The numbers were hurriedly tallied and new results showing that Mr Kenyatta had surpassed the 50 per cent threshold were transmitted to the live feed around 2am.

Did Mr Nzibo tell us a lie or was he countermanded? If he deliberately lied to the public, he must be held to account.

There was this time when IEBC chairman Issack Hassan sought to explain why the tally for spoilt votes was increasing so rapidly.

He said it was all about a computer error that had artificially increased the tally by multiples of eight without elaborating, leaving room for speculation and all manner of theories.

If a number is being increased by a multiple of eight, isn't it arithmetically the case that the final number should be divisible by eight? Is that the picture you see when you look at the video clips?

The biggest beef I have with the IEBC is the collapse of the voter identification and electronic vote transmission systems.Mark you, this technology is what was going to make it possible to detect ballot stuffing and other irregularities.

Indeed, election integrity can only be assured where you have systems that generate polling data that leave behind an easily verifiable audit trail.

What caused the system to collapse? Was it sheer ineptitude or sabotage?

Before we can apportion blame, we must demand to see copies of all service contracts the IEBC signed with these parties to determine who was supposed to do what. Is it true that IEBC outsourced servers from third parties?

When the Supreme Court case is over, we will also demand to be shown all incident reports by all third party technology suppliers, including Safaricom.

I have seen a letter showing how, hardly 10 days before the General Election, the Safaricom CEO, Mr Bob Collymore, threatened to pull out of the deal with the IEBC, listing issues, which, he said, "could seriously compromise IEBC's ability to execute credible elections", and citing casualness on the part of top IEBC officials.

Clearly, Collymore knew what he was talking about.

Im having a problem with the following:

1. The IEBC system of election transmission had been tested by a small sample of party representatives and failed. IEBC Must Fix The Results Transmission System Fast | The Star

2. The 300 000 rejected votes which were later explained as a ‘computer error'.

3. An administration police "accidentally" shot a presiding officer in Kangema, Muranga county https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?ar...title=Kenya-Officer-shoots-dead-poll-official

4. A returning officer arrested by police when caught by the public doctoring results in a cyber café. Endebes Returning Officer in police custody for allegedly doctoring results. This shows that it was possible for RO's to change results, I can imagine that some were clever enough to do it in a "secure environment".

ukwelikitugani tatizo hapo ni kuwa mwandishi anachanganya matokeo yasiyo rasmi na ambayo ni rasmi. Matokeo rasmi ya uchaguzi wowote ule wa kenya lazima yajumlishwe kutoka kwenye nakala halisi za fomu husika siyo yale ambayo yanatumwa kwa electronics ambayo yalibatizwa jina la "provisional results".

kama kesi ya CORD inategemea matokeo ya "provisional results" nawashauri hayo mamilioni mia sita hayana sababu ya kuyapoteza kwani IDPs wangeliweza kusaidiwa nayo..........

Is this how 4, 000 or so were stolen? Electronic result zilikuwa kwaajili ya provisional result siyo actual result......................mshindi hakutokana na "provisional result".....................itafika mahali hata yale mauaji ya polisi nayo tutadai yalichangia CORD kulamba sakafu.........

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Rutashubanyuma are you a Lawyer?I like your arguments...very FACTUAL!!!
I now have reasons to believe CORD is going down.

Sinister i wish i was.................CORD inadai ina wanasheria wanasiasa......hapo ujue kuna kitendawili kama kweli the kilonzo, orengo, Namwamba etc.add kalonzo who is now begging Uhuru to put him in the cabinet..............if they were really that good why don't they stick with their law firms and kiss politics goodbye.................jibu ni kuwa they are not that good and they need political career to make ends meet.

kushindwa kwa CORD kulikuwa wazi na ndiyo maana kalonzo Musyoka alijiweka kwenye orodha ya kuwa mbunge wa kuteuliwa na chama chake...........he did not believe CORD will win maana kama angeliamini hivyo kulikuwa na uhaja gani wa kujiingiza kwenye orodha ya makundi maalumu kama vilema na vijana?

jingine unapoona mdai halisi anajificha kwenye migongo ya wengineo ujue he knows his case is made big in the corridors of public opinion but has no legs to stand on in the corridors of justice...................

This time around Raila is going for good............................nguvu yake ni anarchy...there he holds a PHD...lakini where there is orderliness he is a standard four failure.............Just like his erstwhile nemesis Miguna wa Miguna had chirped us.......

Ab-Titchaz,
Thank you. Hadi hapa nimejiaminisha na kujiridhisha "beyond reasonable doubt" It wasn't fair and free election, period!!!

 

[Dr. Job]

This is as crazy as its gonna get. Cant wait for Monday long enough.

Something was clearly afoot in these elections and I will attempt to cover them one by one. When CORD raised alarm that the plans to rig the elections were afoot, they knew what they were saying, there are several factors that give credence to their story.

1) Kilifi recorded the highest turnout at the coast. The coast was solidly CORD with more than 80% expected to vote in RAO. On the elections eve, the "MRC" goons appear from nowhere and murder several policemen in a voter intimidation ploy. Now, the MRC was strong in Kwale, not Kilifi. Due to the actions of the MRC Kwale had a voter registration of slightly over 20%. With that in mind, one would expect Kwale rather than Kilifi to be on the receiving end of the voter intimidation. Even if it is Kilifi, one would expect the constituency bordering Kwale's Matuga constituency such as Rabai, Kaloleni or Kilifi south to be the worst hit. I am singling out Matuga rather than Kinango because the Duruma people in Kinango don't harbour the same secessionist thoughts of the Digo. The constituency that was targeted was Kilifi north which is far away from the MRC and which incidentally has the largest number of registered voters in Kilifi county. That attack was not spontaneous, it has all the hallmarks of a planned attack and one cannot convince me that the intelligence had no clue on what was happening. I have many sources in Kilifi and from what they were saying, there are polling stations that were not opened at all. We had verified reports on uchaguzi of IEBC officials being kidnapped https://uchaguzi.co.ke/reports/view/1098 and all manner of reports from Kilifi that pointed to a systematic plot to disenfranchise voters. After all, at the end of the day, only a few thousand put Uhuru over the 50%+1 mark.

2) I had a friend who was an election official in Dagoretti south. The kind of nonsense that he witnessed has left him in a depression. The fingerprint scanners were deliberately not configured right to the election morning and therefore on the material day the scanners had compatibility issues. The voter register was retrospectively doctored to add some new voters into the register. So, the scanners were meant to fail from the word go so that some illegitimate voters can get in through the cracks. If the fingerprint scanners were working, ones fingerprints would have been automatically compared to those in the fingerprint database. There came a time that certain people saw that he wasn't going to play along therefore they tried to frame him by offering him a bribe, he refused, he noticed a few minutes later that he was being followed by a camera man who was supposed to record the goings on.

3) It seems like the electronic transmission software was designed to fail. It had several major "bugs". Of concern was the alleged bug that was supposedly multiplying the number of spoilt ballots by 8. As a programmer, the basic functionality is something that is normally put to the test on several occasions. When writing the code, when testing the system in house and when doing a limited trial. One cannot tell me that the functionality on the spoilt votes was entirely untested and such an obvious bug was not picked up earlier. On a second note, if indeed it was a real bug then we expect the number of spoilt votes to be divisible by 8 at all times, which was not the case. There is something more sinister that took place and it is still being kept under wraps.

4) I had a friend in the tallying centre who said that all was not well in the tallying and that Isaack Hassan was lying through his teeth. The said person had to resign on principle. On that one I am not going to disclose the identity.

There are more things that I can add, but for the moment, let me stop at that.
