A Match on Washington Kenya Embassy !
From: Justus Wanga
Wanainchi,
Matching to Kenyan
Embassy on Wednesday 2nd at 10.00 the Way Forward
Date:Mon, 31 Dec 2007 02:51:06 -0800 (PST)
From:"Judy Miriga" <jbatec@yahoo.com>We in the Diaspora have decided to match to Kenyan Embassies of
the world
to demands an explanation and continue with the Way Forward why
democracy has been replaced with hooliganism. And why Kenyans of
all walks of life together with friends and sympathisers should
not team up
to save dear lives of innocent Kenyans being killed, tortured,
slaughtered,
kept in darkness from communication network, why they should be
kept
in fear of insecurity, why the Government of Kibaki fraudulently
enthroned
against the will of the electorates should not accord peaceful
citizens of
Kenya freedom to walk freely on Kenyan streets because they
excercised
their independent democratic rights in voting a candidate of their
choice.
Why the Kenyan Police should not leave the streets to avoid a
creation of
State of Emergency which does not warrant present situation an
act
of unrest or uprising created by Kibaki and John Michuki for their
personal gain.
We are concerned because we have those whom we love and care for
(sisters,
brothers, parents and friends) who have became victims of circumstances
because they went to the polls faithfully to fulfil their
constitutional rights.
But ECK Electoral Commission of Kenya failed Kenyans by allowing
flows of
rigging to take effect which is why we will not get out of
the Kenyan Embassies
until the Police are removed from the streets of Kenya. We
have the following
issues demands from the Ambassodors to explain:-
- Why the Electrol Commission of Kenya failed to heed the advice and reports
from the Chief Observer of the EU Election Observation Mission
(EU EOM)
Mr. Alexander Graf Lambsdorff member of the European Parliament
and Anna Owen,
Press Officer, European Union Election Observeration Mission
who issued
a statement that they believed the Electrol Commission did
not ESTABLISH
CREDIBILITY and address irregularities of both the tallying process
and other
anomalies of riggin to the satisfaction of all parties and candidates
for democratic
principles to be seen.
- Why the country have been thrown into darkness without communication
- Why there is insecurity and killings
- why the anomalies were not given even hearing
- Why they rushed to enthron President Kibaki against peoples wishes
- Why we should not team up to restore the will and verdict by the Vote of the popular demands of the people of Kenya as stipulated in the constitution

Doubts remain over tallying of presidential
race results
Published on December
31, 2007, 12:00 am
The Chief Observer of the EU Election
Observation Mission (EU EOM), Mr Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, Member of the
European Parliament, issued the following statement on Sunday about the
announcement of the winner of the presidential election for the Republic
of Kenya:
"Once again, we would like to commend
Kenyan citizens for the strong commitment to peace and democracy that
they showed on election day.
"With a view to the presidential
elections, however, we believe that, at this time, the Electoral Commission
of Kenya (ECK), despite the best efforts of its chairman, Mr Samuel Kivuitu,
has not succeeded in establishing the credibility of the tallying process
to the satisfaction of all parties and candidates.
"We regret that it has not been possible
to address irregularities about which both the EU EOM and the ECK have evidence.
The result for the Molo constituency,
for example, was announced in the presence of EU EOM Observers at the
constituency tally centre as 50,145 votes for President Kibaki, while
the ECK today declared the result for the President to be 75,261 votes.
"Because of this and other irregularities,
some doubt remains as to the accuracy of the result of the presidential
election as announced today.
"We call on the leaders of Kenya
to maintain this spirit of peace and democracy so admirably shown by the
people of Kenya on Thursday, December 27."

Press Officer, European Union

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I also would rather not hear anything from the so called government
that swears in AT NIGHT. Why at NIGHT if there was nothing to hide?
Will somebody tell me that much? So I will prefer not to see/hear
these so called government tidbits and lies. You forget that some of
us have close up contact with the pentagon (five smooth stones).
By the way these five smooth stones did what they set out to do.
They annihilated President Kibaki's "pillars" from East to West and North
to South. Nobody should forget this fact. Those who did not
vote for Raila are wishing the clock could be rolled back to December 27,
2007 because ODM, Raila have reached a new popularity height. Call
me crazy if you want, but I still maintain that this ODM TGV train is unstoppable.
State House Nairobi is the destination. Kenya's unity and grassroots
equitable distribution of wealth will be realized.
"Is anything too hard for God?"
Goliath went down. His own knife will now cut is head. Watch this
space for the fulfillment of this prophecy.
The students of prophecy know what happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king
of ancient Babylon and why.
Let us pray like we have never prayed before. The God of Daniel,
Meshack, Shadrack and Abednigo s the same God of ODM and Kenya as
a whole.
I repeat here again: The good people of Kenya went to the polls
faithfully to fulfill their constitutional rights. But ECK failed
us in allowing deliberate tallying rigging.

NAIROBI,
Kenya
- It took all of about 15 minutes for the slums to explode on Sunday
after Kenya's president was declared the winner of a deeply flawed election.

In Nairobi, President Mwai Kibaki was sworn in shortly after election
results were announced.
Thousands
of young men came streaming out of Kibera, a shantytown of one million
people, waving sticks, smashing shacks, burning tires and hurling stones.
Soldiers poured into the streets to meet them. In other areas across the
country, gangs went house to house, dragging people of certain tribes out
of their homes and clubbing them to death.
"It's war," said Hudson Chate, a mechanic in Nairobi. "Tribal war."
The dubious conclusion of one of the most fiercely-fought elections
in Kenya's history has pitched the country into chaos
. Western observers said that Kenya's election commission ignored clear
evidence of vote rigging to keep the government in power.
Now, one of the most developed, stable nations in Africa, which has
a powerhouse economy and some of the most spectacular game parks in the
world, is the scene of tribal bloodletting. With the president,
Mwai Kibaki
, a Kikuyu, and the lead opposition figure Raila Odinga, a Luo, the
election seems to have tapped into an atavistic vein of tribal tension that
always lay beneath the surface in Kenya but up until now had not provoked
widespread mayhem.
In Mathare, a slum in Nairobi, Luo gangs burned more than 100 Kikuyu
homes. In Kibera, Kikuyu families loaded up their things in taxis and
fled. Almost all the businesses in the country are shut. The only figures
in downtown Nairobi, which is usually choked with traffic, are helmeted
soldiers hunched behind plastic shields. Oily black clouds of smoke rose
from the slums on Sunday evening and smudged out the sun.
As the riots spread, the government issued an order outlawing live media
broadcasts.
"It's a sad day for Kenya," said Michael E. Ranneberger, the American
ambassador to Kenya. "My biggest worry now is violence, which, let's be
honest, will be along tribal lines."
Mr. Odinga's supporters are unleashing their frustrations about the
election, which was held on Thursday and
initially praised as fair, against people they suspect supported
the president, namely Kikuyus. The Odinga camp
urged election officials to recount votes after exposing serious discrepancies
between the votes initially announced on the day after the election versus
the numbers that were then later entered into a national tally.
Mr. Odinga is Luo, an ethnic group that has long felt marginalized
by the country's Kikuyu elite that has dominated business and politics
since independence in 1963. Mr. Kibaki is Kikuyu, and the voting so far
has split along ethnic lines, with each candidate winning big in his home
base.
Mr. Kibaki, 76, has been in government since independence in 1963 and
is known as a courtly gentleman and economics
whiz . But he is seen by many Kenyans as continuing an unfair
political system that has favored the Kikuyu at the expense of Kenya's
30-plus other ethnic groups. Mr. Odinga, 62,
gained his popularity by tapping into those frustrations and building a
multiethnic coalition.
It had been predicted that this election would be close, and the final
results had Mr. Kibaki winning by a sliver, 46 to 44 percent. But that
gap may have included thousands of invalid votes
. The
European Union
said its observers in one constituency last week witnessed election
officials announce that President Kibaki had won 50,145 votes, but on
Sunday the election commission increased those same results to 75,261
votes.
"The election commission has not succeeded in establishing the credibility
of the tallying process," said Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, the chief European
observer
.
One Western ambassador said that Western diplomats tried for hours
on Sunday to persuade the election commission to do a recount of the vote
figures using original results but that the commission refused.
"This was rigged," the ambassador said.
The election commission acknowledged that there were irregularities
but said that it was not their job to address them.
The opposition, said the chairman, Samuel Kivuitu, "can go to the courts."
The opposition has not indicated whether it would contest the results
in Kenya's courts, which are notoriously slow and corrupt. But it said it
would have a swearing-in ceremony for Mr. Odinga on Monday and declare him
the "people's president."
