IIEC (led by Hassan) the body which has the task to carry out Kenya's 2012. general election. From its name, it is referred to as independent but from its actions we get the clue of how dependent it is.
Like the ECK which was
led by Kivuitu in 1997, IIEC seems to be following the same footprints. ECK followed. This
body tasks to carry 1997 was dependent on government officials and control in
its actions from other powerful sources. Cause of its failure to deliver to the
general mwananchi, it worked to deliver to a few and the country turned to a
bloody state.
In its action in
announcing the election date in 2013, IIEC seems to be not independent but
dependent; controlled by some few people against the whole Kenyan state. The Prime
Minister, Raila Odinga, announced his day sometimes back to be on 17 December
2012 while The President (Mwai Kibaki) announced his favorite date very
recently to be on March. And the IIEC rushed immediately after the president
declared his day, to announce the day of election to be 4 March 2012 against Kenyan
majority citizens who are ready to go to election this December.
The Justice Minister,
Mutula Kilonzo, was fighting for a December day and he had put a bill in the
house of parliament pushing for this day but just a day before the IIEC
announcement, the justice minister rushes to withdraw the same bill showing his
change of mind. What happened to him within a night to stop fighting for what
he believed in?
IIEC even rushed
before the court case is over to announce this day. Also the announcement
was rushed without even informing the general mwananchi and the media prier to.
Then who is the IIEC important person and who is IIEC working for; few
powerful sources or Kenyan’s majority citizens?
Something is wrong,
fishy, has cooked and is cooking in the IIEC. This body is no longer
independent but dependent like the ECK in 1997.
