Professor Kithure Kindiki has argued that the chaos that were witnessed at the Bomas of Kenya before the declaration of president-elect on August 15 was orchestrated so as to approve an unconstitutional government.
Kithure Kindiki argued that senior state officers planned interruptions on the dias so as to favour the declaration of the wrong candidate. Senior counsel Kithure Kindiki also claimed that the move was meant to deny Ruto his deserved victory.
Kithure Kindiki urged the Supreme Court to put that issue under consideration when judging on the submission that presented before the court by Raila Odinga. He stated, “It is our view that those events alone constitute nothing but an attempt to establish a government unconstitutionally, contrary to Article 3(2) of the Constitution. In our humble and respectful view, the events of that day are basically an attempted but failed coup’d’état.”
He continued, “We respectfully submit that the activities at the National Tallying Centre on August 15, 2022 regrettably perpetuated by emissaries, agents, supporters and sympathizers of the 1st petitioner, who is now before this court seeking redress, amount to nothing short of a flagrant attempt to overthrow the Constitution of our country.”
Kindiki argued that despite the fact that officials of IEBC were injured amidst the chaos, the state officials are yet to record statements on any of the perpetrators.
Earlier in the day, Lawyer Ngatia dared lawyers representing Azimio la Umoja to prove a 34A document that differed from the election 34A. What are your thoughts on this story? Kindly share your insights down below.
