OPPOSITION chief Raila Odinga has assured his support base it will not be possible to rig him out in the 2017 presidential contest. During a strategy meeting two weeks ago, Raila and his ODM confidants discussed anti-rigging mechanisms. Apart from running a parallel electronic vote tallying system, Raila and the Cord team plan to train and deploy party agents in every polling station across the country. The agents will be equipped with mobile phones and will take and transmit to the national tallying centre images of every result announced in streams. “Just register, vote and leave the rest to me – but, this time round, am not coming to tell you my votes have been stolen,” Raila said on Ramogi FM, a Luo vernacular radio station.
even Trump has said he was rigged…
What good does it do to run a parallel electronic system if its not recognized legally? Its like me coming up with my own currency and claiming its equal to the kenya shilling but its still not legal tender!

As long as they do not use any discrepancy noted as an excuse for mass action and violence. If they find evidence of rigging I hope they use it in court, no matter how tainted it is.
Mutunga’s courts are as unjust as the word itself. Otherwise Nairobi governor would be babayao. Ask @Wakanyama
If they are taking pics of forms being signed by returning officers and such, and using that for their case, thats ok. But dont build a whole electronic system, built for, run by and maintained by CORD people. Then use those results to say that there is deviation in numbers being reported. That system is more likely to be biased. further more, its an unofficial parallel system, that has no legal basis. No country will accept electoral results from a system that isnt government sanctioned. So whats the point of creating one?

These parties have enough money during the elections to buy each polling station agent a 10k smart phonethat can take clear photos of forms and send them to their tallying centre. Hell but I’m just dreaming, they won’t even pay the agents to begin with.
And yet the nigga and his goons never allow other party agents in their strongholds. Who will then validate the results from such areas?

Hio maneno ya $3 Milli bribe I find it hard to believe, be that as it may, injustice is something majority of Kenyans have to put up with, the political class pia waroll nayo waache nye nye nye
True @Mr Black very realistic also. My tendency is to try and get justice whenever I am wronged. But fighting for guys who can not pronounce my name is an insult to evolution itself. I am beyond group mentality. I wish many would say the same. In which case the sobriety will lead to election of the able and just leaders.

I agree, you can’t use a system you have sole control over as evidence. All they need is actual evidence of the voting nitty gritties.
Raila should retire from politics because he won’t win that election

That just shows how tinga is above the law and brags about it publicly. In short he can also have his own security apparatus to ensure everybody voting is a ‘kenyan voter’ and the government will just look away. Pathetic.
He has even showed akina EACC and CID how to conduct their works and no questions asked.
I will just wait for vision 2030. At least I know he won’t be there.
He will still lose this one as well … wouldn’t such a system hold more if it was used by independent election process observers rather than cordoshians
They are allowed to have observers, arent they? And this parallel tallying has been done all the time. Its not the first time. Sometimes they try to use agents to tally important strongholds.
Let him do the tallying it might give a difficult time to any attempting riggers. You cant just say that here sits there and allows the other side to do their thing using government machinery. And then goes to those judiciary charlatans. if he tallys the votes and he loses. Thats it. After all, he can claim votes were stolen whether he does tally or not.
2013 CORD ignored sending observers to perceived Jubilee strongholds, whoever advised them to do that must have been high; however, with guyz like Tony Gachoka trooping back to the camp, I won’t be surprised if they make another oversight in 2017 and that will be final. Its a do or die for RAO 2017, this is what scares everyone. A desperate man can do anything

The fact that he said it’ll be difficult to rig him out just shows psychologically he will be how he was in 2012 and 2007. In short he should’ve shut his mouth
and just do what he does…

To add on to that…in what world does an individual have more say than the incumbent? Even the so called democratic countries appreciate that elections goes beyond
people lining up to vote…difference with Africa is that once results are out those who did not succeed concede and move on…in Africa blood has to be shed…
