Machakos POs did NOT secure Gubernatorial Ballot Papers
Stephen Okoth,, Boniface Mutungi and Cecilia Mbula were on Monday arraigned in a court of Law over breach of electoral Laws in Machakos County.

A Machakos county employee , deputy head teacher and a second year university student were charged with presenting unsecured used and unused ballot papers to a Constituency returning officer in Machakos County.

The charge sheet does not specify which seat among the six contested in the poll was affected but its widely believed that it was that of the Gubernatorial position. This comes at a time when Wavinya Ndeti's case against the IEBC and Dr. Alfred Mutua is set to begin today the 4th October 2017. Hon Wavinya has cited numerous irregularities in the just concluded August elections and argues that Mutua was illegally declared the winner by IEBC.

The three denied the charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Desdaris Orimba and were released on a Ksh. 300,000 bond each or Ksh. 100,000 cash bail

    The charge sheet does not specify which seat among the six contested in the poll was affected.... the rest ni projo tu just because Mutua has a case in court.
    And how many are those P.O's, 3? estimate each polling station had 700 voters, so 2100 votes, zote hata pea Mutua. Hard to crack that number of Mutua.
    Okay charge them on neglection of duty, so can 3 polling stations cause a repeat in Machakos? I doubt it.
    My opinion.

    Electoral offences in a polling station can lead to nullification of results in a County or even the whole country.

All the Machakos Legislators with the exception of the host MP Patrick Ma...

GOVERNOR KIRAITU MURUNGI RESPONDS MIGUNA MIGUNA. "H. E The Rt.Hon. Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga has been my friend since 1970. We are age mates and political comrades who both went to Parliament at the same time, in the same party called FORD-K. The Prime Minister met H.E Madam Ida Odinga, in March 1971 when Ida Odinga was a student of Bachelor of Education at the University of Nairobi, majoring in Geography. They dated for over one year, later on, engaged and wedded. The late Fidel Odinga was born in 1973, almost three years after both the Hon.Raila Odinga and Mama Ida had met, dated, got engaged and married. It's a desperate fallacy and a stupid lie, for Miguna Miguna who was only seven(7) years old when The Prime Minister and Mama Ida met, and merely ten (10) years old when the late Fidel Castro Macarius Odhiambo Odinga was born, to LIE to us that at the age of 7 years old, he had known who fathered who, let alone the Odingas. Miguna met the Odinga...
