And if this is done, would it even matter whether the transmission to Bomas is done by Morpho or by Brookside? There wouldn't be any chance for 'military sending results from Karen' That is why am finding some of the irreducible minimums weird

Isn't that what I said the ruling in the Kiai case meant. Nakumbuka wewe supporting a certain CS who went all around the same TV stations warning them never to broadcast the results?

The whole civilized world does this. You vote, the media is there when you count and announces your tally as the numbers are moved to a central station. No need to change the current Kenyan laws. Just do things the way they are meant to be done.

By the way, when is baba going to oppose this?

To facilitate the conduct of elections, the appellant is required to appoint returning officers at the constituency and county levels, whose roles are specified as follows;

“(1A) The Commission shall appoint constituency returning officers to be responsible for—

(i) tallying, announcement and declaration, in the prescribed form, of the final results from each polling station in a constituency for the election of a member of the National Assembly and members of the county assembly;

(ii) collating and announcing the results from each polling station in the constituency for the election of the President, county Governor, Senator and county women representative to the National Assembly; and

(iii) submitting, in the prescribed form, the collated results for the election of the President to the national tallying centre and the collated results for the election of the county Governor, Senator and county women representative to the National Assembly to the respective county returning officer.

(1B)……….county returning officers……

(1C) For purposes of a presidential election the Commission shall —

(a) electronically transmit, in the prescribed form, the tabulated results of an election for the President from a polling station to the constituency tallying centre and to the national tallying centre;

(b) tally and verify the results received at the national tallying centre; and

(c) publish the polling result forms on an online public portal maintained by the Commission.

(1D) The chairperson of the Commission shall declare the results of the election of the President in accordance with Article 138(10) of the Constitution”. (Emphasis supplied)

We hold that, going by the flow and arrangement of foregoing provisions, from the constituency returning officers (at the constituency tallying centre), the county returning officers (at the county tallying centre) to the Chairperson of the appellant (at the national tallying centre), the intention of Parliament was to delineate roles at the three levels of election determination and declaration. This was in conformity with Article 138 of the Constitution. We reproduce it to illustrate this point.
