Did you ever read this...

Main findings
Kenya’s constitutional and legal framework relating to elections contains a number of
weaknesses and inconsistencies that weaken its effectiveness. This legislation needs
urgent and radical revision, including consolidation.
The electoral management process as a whole needs revision
During the preparation and conduct of the 2007 elections the ECK lacked the necessary
independence, capacity and functionality because of weaknesses in its organisational
structure, composition, and management systems.
The institutional legitimacy of the ECK and public confidence in the professional
credibility of its commissioners and staff have been gravely and arguably irreversibly
impaired. It lacks functional efficiency and is incapable of properly discharging its
mandate.

The conduct of the electoral process was hampered and the electoral environment was
polluted by the conduct of many public participants, especially political parties and the media. (Read PNU/ODM and KTN/The Standard)

There were serious defects in the voter register which impaired the integrity of the 2007
elections even before polling started:

• it excluded nearly one-third of eligible voters, with a bias against women and
young people

• it included the names of some 1.2 million dead people

Serious anomalies in the delimitation of constituencies impaired the legitimacy of the
electoral process even before polling started.

There was generalised abuse of polling, characterised by widespread bribery, votebuying,
intimidation and ballot-stuffing.

This was followed by grossly defective data collation, transmission and tallying, and
ultimately the electoral process failed for lack of adequate planning, staffselection/
training, public relations and dispute resolution.

The integrity of the process and the credibility of the results were so gravely impaired by
these manifold irregularities and defects that it is irrelevant whether or not there was
actual rigging at the national tally centre. The results are irretrievably polluted.

Now, when those who shout on top of their elbows without doing a little bit of research, where have you gone now.

Get a copy of Kriegler Report before you come here for some useless argument.

Kivuitu deserved better than he got. He was a HERO. If he had bought the idea of delaying the swearing in of the President by a week, a revolution would have taken place and we would be worse off today than what happened as PEV. Let us shame the devil when we can for those who remain silent are abetting the devils will.

Any one thinking Kivuitu is my grandfather is mistaken. Am pursuing the truth, nothing but the truth.

For a Moment, lets make some assumptions here.

1. Assuming you were the Chairman of ECK at the time, what could you have done differently under the circumstances in order to avoid whatever happened?.

2. Assuming Kivuitu announced Raila the winner, do you think there would have been violence?.

Let the truth prevail. Heaping all blame on Kivuitu for the violence is not at all justified. He did what he had to do.

Thank u Mukiha. Of course those who love being lied to will never agree. Ugua pole mzee.

What hogwash you serve! At the time did the constitution say that the winner of 6/8 provinces was the president? The biggest problem with such kind of nonsense is that some of you actually believe it to be gospel truth? Kivuitu is bad in the eyes of guys who voted ODM ONLY because he did not announce their candidate the winner (which he never was). No amount of vote rigging claims by ODM will ever justify the blood that was shed in the name of haki yetu, as if they are the only ones with this haki! ABK!
