The High Court has thrown out the case filed by CORD demanding to stop vote counting at the Bomas saying it has no jurisdiction over issues related to Election and says that is a pure responsibility of IEBC!
The three judge bench appointed by Chief
Justice Willy Mutunga today to hear arguments
from an non-governmental organization seeking to stop the tallying and
announcing of the presidential results by the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission has reached to that conclusion fews minutes ago..
The Africa Centre for Open Governance
is suing the IEBC and its chairman Isaack Hassan saying the tallying process
has irregularities.
Gladwell Otieno, the organization’s Executive Director said in a statement released last night that vote tallying should be stopped until grievances raised by political parties are heard and a credible, transparent and fair process is instituted.
The group filed a suit early this
morning and the case was referred to the Chief Justice for direction. The three
judge bench is made up of Judges Isaac Lenaola, Weldon Korir and David Majanja.
The judges will also hear arguments from the IEBC legal team.
