To our Moslem brothers and sisters…

As we celebrate…

An electoral petition is not a murder case to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. No.

You did everything for the voters. Bought food. Constructed roads. The entire village is under solar. The voter’s answer was “no thank you.” If you are aggrieved, do not file your petition in any Magistrates’ court.

You are certain you won that election. Someone else was declared. Stop lamenting. Look out for the gazette and file your overwhelming evidence within 30 days.

At times, as a registered voter you feel aggrieved, but the person you supported is so happy with the results though he/she lost. The law allows you to file a petition but it must be supported by some 500 voters.

Do not just run to the High Court because you have a “feeling” you were cheated or cannot believe only 3 people from your “massive rallies”could have voted you.

The moment the ballot box seals are broken, no body is going to recount anything. Find other grounds and look for a High Court near you.

In casting your vote, use the “authorized mark of choice”, do not be drawing cartoons on your vote.

It is time to tick/thumbprint someone.

Wishing you all a better, happier, healthier and prosperous year ahead.

We join Kenya and the World in mourning the passing of Hon. Raila Odinga. Known for his unwavering commitment to good governance, the rule of law and the promotion of human rights, his contribution to humanity remains immeasurable. We pray to God to grant him eternal rest.

It is not enough to want the position of Chief Justice. You must have specific minimums. If you are an architect, boda boda rider, engineer, influencer, we regret to inform you that you do not qualify.

The position of Chief Justice is opening up. It is now your chance to “walk the talk” and we see.

“That rule could not have contemplated the 18-page, superfluous factual background that was presented in this petition or indeed the 12-page argumentative narrative of remedies sought.”

“…the alleged injustice occasioned by the criticisms of the judgement by the legal fraternity … is not a valid ground for… review of the iudgement…”

The Supreme Court has discouraged you from having quarrels indefinitely. There must be finality to litigation. Relax. Do something else. Watch a football match or go see birds…

“Once a … court makes an order… then unless it is set aside or reversed on appeal, the judgement … is conclusive evidence of the finality of the case…”
