IEBC MUST GAZETTE ALL POLLING STATIONS AND CONVENE A STAKEHOLDERS' CONFERENCE WITHOUT DELAY The continued failure by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to gazette all polling stations is unacceptable and deeply troubling. At a time when public confidence in electoral institutions must be strengthened, unnecessary delays only create suspicion and invite questions about what is being hidden from public scrutiny. Public primary schools have traditionally served as polling stations. However, recent concerns regarding the existence of questionable or unverified schools have heightened the urgency for complete transparency. Kenyans cannot be expected to trust a process whose critical components remain concealed from public verification. The gazettement of polling stations is not a favour to citizens. It is a fundamental requirement for electoral transparency. Publishing the full list would enable citizens, political parties, civil society organizations, faith-based groups, the media, and election observers to independently verify every polling station and expose any irregularities long before election day. What is particularly alarming is the refusal to convene a national stakeholders' conference despite growing demands from virtually every sector of society. The media, donor community, diplomatic community, Gen Z, political parties, faith-based organizations, civil society, professional bodies, and ordinary citizens are all calling for a structured engagement with the IEBC. The Commission cannot claim to be preparing for credible elections while simultaneously avoiding the very stakeholders whose confidence it seeks to secure. Silence is not consultation. Delay is not engagement. Evasion is not leadership. A stakeholders' conference is not optional—it is an urgent democratic necessity. It would provide a platform for concerns to be raised, questions to be answered, and confidence-building measures to be agreed upon before the country enters another electoral cycle. The IEBC must understand that transparency delayed is transparency denied. Every day that passes without gazettement of polling stations and without meaningful stakeholder engagement further erodes public trust. Kenyans are watching. The international community is watching. The credibility of future elections will be judged not only by what happens on election day, but by the openness, accountability, and transparency demonstrated in the preparations leading up to it. We therefore demand the immediate gazettement of all polling stations and the urgent convening of a national stakeholders' conference. The time for excuses has passed. The time for transparency is now.

Cheptongei Village Tribunal Judgement: We agree with you that your neighour cut your fence & stole your cow. We can see the cow in his compound. But we are afraid we can’t return the cow as he has fixed the fence where he had cut. But to compensate you, we will give you a goat! Case Dismissed.

Admin, how is it possible to make a World Cup Debut XI without the best right back in the world in Reece James? 🤔 On top of that, you put Robertson at right-back. 😂
