Kumekucha Exclusive: How Raila-led demonstrations forced IEBC commissioners into resignation

IEBC Commissioner's Quit Letter exposed!

As the debate on the fate of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission  (IEBC) rages, Kumekucha has obtained copy of the actual resignation letter in which four electoral commissioners submitted their voluntary resignation to the President during the height of opposition led public protests that saw numerous civilians shot dead and many others injured by Kenya Police.

This is the first time the resignation letter is being made public showing that opposition pressure was bearing fruit and it was a matter of time before the entire commission, enjoying constitutional security of tenure, collapsed.

Although mainstream media have reported on these resignations as may have happened, the letter in our possession clearly indicates four commissioners at pains to resign and whose abrupt resignation has taken top echelons of  government by surprise.

The resignation letter also reveal that commissioners Yusuf Nzibo, Albert Bwire, Kule Galma Godana and Abdullahi Sharawe had written to President Uhuru Kenyatta in June declaring their intention to voluntarily quit. Among other reasons, the four admit they want to avoid being dragged through the process initiated by Parliament to remove them from office.

It is believed Jubilee are actively lobbying the Commissioners to remain, at least past the 2017 elections. Legal experts indicate the resignation renders the commission unconstitutional and handicapped to discharge it's mandate if the resignation go on record.

With this damning exposure, questions are bound to be raised as to the motive of President Uhuru's failure to respond to the resignations which he has the option of accepting or rejecting. Even more significantly, if the Commissioners remain in office and declare winners in any election after this resignation, losers can petition courts to nullify respective election results including the presidential election.

The conspiracy of a month of silence points to a sinister motive that puts serious doubt on the ability of the IEBC as currently constituted, and with four commissioners not committed to work, to effectively manage the 2017 general elections in a free, fair and accountable manner. Insiders in ODM told this blogger they are ready for Uhuruto!

Police Kill for Sport: Failing State in Militant Denial

 The mindset of a criminal is often betrayed by the plastic demenour and careless speech.

Cabinet Nkaissery's bragging about no lack of teargas and belittling police vetting was the hallmark of a clueless regime headed by a dynamic clueless duo.

It takes a superlative airhead to claim that we cannot have civilians commanding uniformed people. Well, Nkaiserry's worldview seems restricted to Kajiado Central and even Nairobi mesmerises him leave alone such civilian oversight bodies like the Independent Police Complaints commission (IPCC) in the UK.

Superlative airhead

The CS is living in his military head where every Kenyan must submit to his afande shouts.

But make no mistake where the rot lies. The loud silence from the dynamic clueless duo speaks volumes of where their hearts desire in abetting brutality to cow and intimidate opponents.

And the cops know it after a thumbs up following battering to pulp peacefully demonstrating Kenyan to please their bosses.

Forget the fact that vetting of police by the National Police Service Commission is a constitutional requirement aimed at weeding out the corrupt, violent, and incompetent members from the force.

Nkaiserry would rather please the officially armed criminals lest they expose the executive rot from the top.


Just like top civil servants saw the opportunity to rape Kenya's coffers when all the government machinery and resources were singulary trained on defeating ICC at The Hague, the cops know the acute dearth of moral authority from the top to question their murdering spree.

Regime apologists

John Michuki may be dead but his legacy to support police killing and maiming lives on. The twin latest episodes witnessed in the crude brutality meted out to peaceful anti-IEBC protestors and spiced last week by the seizure and subsequent horrific torture and murder of lawyer Willie Kimani together with his driver and a client are just tips of a massive iceberg.

Regime apologists may continue firing from all cylinders protecting the rotten House but soon the brutality and incompetence will affect and infect them to open their eyes to reality of our steady and briskly walk to abyss shepharded by the clueless dynamic duo.

OLE WETU.
