DR.RUTO PRESIDENT ELECT SAYS AZIMIO PETITION IS FULL OF PERJURY, HEARSAY, FILED FAKE FORM 34A

By Chris Ojow

Dr. William Ruto President elect

described Azimio Presidential candidate

Raila’s petition as a fiction straight

acted from Holy Wood by movie maker

James Bond and afro cinemas in Nigeria.

The 9th respondent informed the seven

Supreme Court Judges that Raila Amollo

Odinga filed fake form 34A as his

evidence without presenting prove .

The petitioner failed to prove before

Court that form 34A originated from

IEBC.

“The concluded general election was

transparent and fairly conducted by the

Country Independent Electoral Boundaries

Commission” said Dr. Ruto.

Supreme Court learnt that the

petitioner failed to produce form 34A

that he alleged was tampered with before

court.

Azimio witness Arnold Ochieng a lawyer

in his affidavit , produced several form

34A but failed to mention origination,

Dr. Ruto reminded the court that

certificate to certify form 34A which

meets the criteria was missing.

Dr. Ruto termed IEBC alleged documents

filed before Supreme Court by Azimio

Presidential candidate Raila Amollo

Odinga as fake.

Lawyer Fred Ngatia representing the 9th

respondent said article 38 of the

Constitution that empowers Kenyans to

vote by secret ballot for the candidate

of their choice was actively adhered

too.

As Katwa Kigen submitted that an

election Petition should be precise and

we’ll focused.

Lawyer Muthomi alleged that the

petitioner Azimio Presidential candidate

stage managed his allegations

fashioned like a movie fiction .

“Our leaders have failed to accept the

culture of accepting results” said Dr.

Ruto lead counsel Fred Ngatia.

“The argument of Azimio is based on

pranks , there is no evidence that

Azimio produced in court to prove that

the forms were highjacked and figures

changed” Ngatia stressed .

Dr. Ruto wondered if for example : the

court decided to nulify his win and

calls for a presidential election rerun

,and already the Petitioner Raila in

one of his several prayers seeks that

the current IEBC should not conduct the

election.

“Raila will be taking this country back

to a state of emergency and

constitutional crisis, since the

Petitioner on several occasions

repeatedly said that he will not

participate in the repeat election” Dr.

Ruto responded.

As Independent Electoral Boundaries

Commission in their response through

lawyer Githu Mungai , the former Kenyan

Attorney General posed a question to the

Supreme Court Judges that , if the

general election was indeed bungled as

alleged by Raila , then all those who

were elected in other positions as

Governors, Law Makers , Senators Women

rep and MCA should not assume duties

and fresh election be called.

Githu Mungai was responding on behalf of

IEBC and Wafula Chebukati where all

guns were loaded directly aimed to

Chairman with petitioners demanding

court to bar him from holding public

office.

IEBC in defense compared the four

commissioners who went separate at

eleventh hour as acting childish and

questionable conduct.

“IEBC Commissioners and Chairman are

protected under Article 252 clause 2 of

the Constitution and the process of

removing the Chairman Wafula Chebukati

or the entire seven Commissioners due

process must be followed inline with the

law” Githu stressed.

The first and second respondents again

reminded the court that the first

petitioner has a history of rejecting

election outcome . And IEBC Chair

Chebukati’s actions was guided by the

law.

IEBC Chair was also taken by surprise

after being deserted and wondered why

the four commissioners failed to raise

issues in advance?

And only to hold a press conference at a

Nairobi hotel distancing themselves at

eleventh hour from the results being

announced by the Presidential presiding

officer as enshrined in law.

Article 138 clause 10 of the

Constitution clearly states that ,

within seven days after the presidential

election, IEBC Chairman Wafula

Chebukati shall declare the results of

the election and deliver written

notification of the results to the Chief

Justice and the incumbent president.

“The four commissioners intentionally

deciding to run away from their duty add

no value to the results being announced

by IEBC Chairman according to the law.

so long as the votes were counted and

verified at all polling stations in the

Country” Githu reminded the court .

IEBC strongly stressed in their response

that the Petitioner Raila Amollo Odinga

failed to present affidavit before

court contradicting the results that

were counted at the polling stations

Countrywide.
