President Kibaki should have consulted the Opposition. I was not in full control of the commission because I was working with people who were uncomfortable with me,” he said.<br /><br />He said had he been given opportunity to give evidence in case of a court petition, he would have testified against President Kibaki — especially on the appointments.<br />Share This Story<br />Share<br /><br />Related Stories<br /><br /> Why Kibaki camp was uncomfortable with Omogeni<br /><br />No magic wand<br /><br />“The appointments should have been transparent and fair. I did not enjoy the kind of control I would have preferred,” he said.<br /><br />“Those who were appointing members to the electoral commission did not play their part well. Our credibility went down. There was no magic wand to wave.”<br /><br />Mr Kivuitu, who was just back from India where he had gone to seek treatment for throat cancer, was speaking to Nation journalists at his Nairobi home.<br /><br />Though the effects of the disease have slowed him down, he hopes to participate in the next election as an observer and document his expertise in election management in a book.<br /><br />The management of the 2007 polls was partly blamed for the 2008 violence, which claimed more than 1,300 lives and saw the displacement of thousands of families.<br /><br />However, Mr Kivuitu is unapologetic and maintains that the chaos were planned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-5252835984884095532011-12-29T10:32:50.731-08:002011-12-29T10:32:50.731-08:00Mwarang'ethe said

As we end this discussion, I as...Mwarange'the,<br /><br />As we end this discussion, I asked in my earlier comment: why did all early civilizations begun somewhere near a river?<br /><br />This is not a stupid question. It could hold the future of Kenya and Africa.<br /><br />Instead of thumping your chest here in kumekucha I suggest you go and do a study on Pokomo people, those people who live by Tana river in Kenya. These people many hold the key to civilization Africa have never seen.<br /><br />And don't say Egypt was the biggest civilization Africa have ever seen. NO!!! The best is yet to come!<br /><br />Infact the last Egyptian pharaoh Queen Cleopatra made a pact with the Roman empire. She was a lover of Julius Caesar the Roman General and later with Marc Anthony the Roman Emperor of Ephesus and become a close confidant of King Herod, the one who was seeking to kill baby Jesus.<br />Cleopatra and Marc Anthony later committed suicide and they were buried in Ephesus, Turkey, marking an end to the Egyptian pharaohs and egyptian civilization. If she was a proud African then why did she consummate a liaison with Dictator Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne?<br /><br />Let's look something closer to home, my friend!<br /><br />Happy new year!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12839785.post-44306674254664806932011-12-27T06:59:17.709-08:002011-12-27T06:59:17.709-08:00Eheheheheh...

Official.<br /><br />xxxx<br /><br />Bwa ha ha ha hi we wi wi <br /><br />Please, please, go back and STUDY. Once you have done that, may be 10 YEARS FROM now, we can talk something INTELLIGENT. <br /><br />Sample this TOTAL FOOLISHNESS:<br /><br />"And the Ptolemaic dynasty (Pharaohs) did not begin until around 3000 BC. Official."<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />The Ptolemaic dynasty came JUST the other day, i.e. from 305 BC to 30 BC. <br /><br />This was the 32nd and last dynasty of the ancient Egypt.<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />"I can't help to wonder why did you change your previous theory that Minoan Civilization was the earliest to now Egyptian civilization?"<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />Once again, you better go and STUDY and come back after 10 years with some BIT of REAL knowledge.<br /><br />We noted that, Greece civilization was not ORIGINAL in that area for it was pre - dated by the Minoan civilization.<br /><br />That is not the same as saying the Minoan civilization was older than the Egyptian one.<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />"And before Minoan you were so admant Civilization started in Ethiopia."<br /><br />xxx<br /><br />We doubt whether you know this. In the ancient times, Egypt did not exist for it was covered in water.<br /><br />It was the soil of the Nile river which created what you see today. So, when they say Egypt is the gift of Nile, they mean it.<br /><br />As such, civilization of Egypt did not start from what we call Egypt in the North, but, from the lower part, i.e. the southern part.<br /><br />Anyway, this is the end of this discussion for it is not helping thee at all.Mwarang'ethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751879277752081774noreply@blogger.com
