Pushing , throwing of chairs and
destruction of the public sound system
is what azimio lieutenants orchestrated
at their best before the 5th elected
President of the Republic of Kenya , Dr.
William Ruto was declared the
President elect by Country Independent
Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
at Bomas of Kenya Nairobi County Kenya
on Monday 15th August.
The Son of a poor parents who struggled
to make ends meet by hawking chickens to
travellers along Eldoret highway
together with his wife could not believe
when IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati
declared him as the Country President
elect.
The anxiety begun when the former prime
minister Raila Amollo Odinga one of the
presidential candidate failed to
attend at the required time at 3pm East
Africa Time set by IEBC , as the
moment to announce the presidential
elect 2022. With the organisers forced
to extend time to 4pm, which they
waited until the announcement was made
in Odinga’s absence.
As the Country political analysts termed
the delay of Raila Amollo Odinga and
failure to attend the presidential
announcement function as a bad sign and
an act of indiscipline as a leader .
While the four IEBC commissioners
recently appointed by the outgoing
president Uhuru Kenyatta, held a
separate press briefing informing the
country , that they should not be
associated with the presidential
election results being announced by
their presiding officer and Chairman
Wafula Chebukati.
The four recently appointed
commissioners through hurriedly
controversial process failed to inform
the Country why they opted to
disassociate with their Chairman’s
decision to announce the Presidential
results.
The law , article 88 clause 4 and 5 of
new 2010 constitution of Kenya states
that : The Country Independent
Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
from the day of election has seven days
to verify the votes cast before
announcing the results. Which the
Chairman Wafula Chebukati complied with.
In his off head speech , the President
elect Dr. William Ruto assured the
Country that he’s the President for all
Kenyans both who elected him and his
opponents.
President Ruto also ruled out any
negotiations in the name of handshake
and urged his opponents to fairly play
their oversight role of opposition
enshrined in the Country Constitution.
He congratulated the Kenyan Independent
Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
for conducting a transparent general
election since the Country Independent,
where the commission’s server was made
public to everyone globally , to do
their tally and determine the winner in
their respective regions .
The move by the Country Independent
Electoral Boundaries Commission making
their server accessible to the public
globally, made majority of losers to
concede after downloading their votes
cast and manually tallying themselves, a
process which was described by the
International organizations, diplomats
and World leaders as the most
transparent general election
experienced in Kenya.
Dr. William Ruto, President elect
assured those who developed habit of
insulting him as the chief priest of
corruption without backing their claims
with any prove or reporting the alleged
allegations to the nearest police
stations for actions be taken , that he
has forgiven them and he’s not a man of
holding grudges.
The President elect pledged to revisit
the Jubilee four agendas which were
jeopardized by the illegal handshake as
he thanked the people of Kenya and the
Almighty Great God for everything that
he has achieved and promised to change
Kenya into a developed State.
