How exactly are presidential polls rigged? What is done that leaves such
little evidence that it cannot stand up in a court of law? Who is
usually involved in executing this evil of frustrating the will of the
people? Are claims by the opposition of rigging in 2013 genuine or
exaggerated and being economical with the truth? A history of vote
rigging in Kenya sheds light and answers these important questions as we
prepare for the 2017 polls.
Popular Kenyan musician Jaguar saw what he had never seen before in his
life at the Jubilee nominations for MP Starehe. So much so that he could
not take it and just broke down into tears. Fortunately Jaguar has
friends in high places who were powerful enough to correct the great
injustice. In the end he ended up retiring veteran politician Maina
Kamanda from politics. Kamanda announced his retirement after losing to
Jaguar in a repeat poll. But who is Maina Kamanda really? And what
exactly did he do to Jaguar in round one of those nominations that
caused the musician to break into tears in public?
