| IEBC's Chairman Issack Hassan |
Looking at how the CORD demos were organised and pushed
beyond the barriers of legal justice, it calls for more scrutiny more than what
is seen on media and other channels of information. Why call for mass action
against an electoral commission when there are other legal means of doing it? Why
did Raila’s team go for demos instead of using the parliamentary ways of
solving the issue once and for all? Why is the president reluctant to make an
effort to dissolve the Independent, Electoral and Boundaries Commission –IEBC,
when he knows that it failed terribly to conduct a free and fair election in
Kenya during the most recent general elections?
To answer question one; we have to go back a while ago and
see how the parliament voted for and against the Third Gender Rule bill. The majority
of MPs who voted against the bill were from the government side. They said they
wanted to teach Raila a lesson because of his stand for that Bill. It became so
obvious that if the opposition goes for the parliamentary means of solving IEBC
issues, then they stand no chance to get better results. That is why they went
for the mass action to try and evict the commissioners from the IEBC offices.
Facing the president, it calls for the dumb minded fellow to
see no evil and hear no evil. First, President Uhuru Kenyatta is in office
because IEBC commissioners let it happen that way. Secondly, it is payback time
because he is in-debt to all IEBC commissioners and the only way he can do this
is by making sure that nothing happens to them before the coming general
election in August 2017. These people are the only way for him to make it and
he is here to protect the only window into power.
