REASON WHY CHEBUKATI COULD NOT WAIT AN EXTRA DAY

IEBC lawyer George Murugu: “On the question of if Chebukati was to announce the wrong results or was incapacitated to do the same, verification and tallying process engages the commission so that there is no room for the chairperson to act as a lone ranger.”

“A narrative on commissioners being given roles compared to house chores. Nothing can be further from the truth. We saw them undertaking some key roles, and we cannot undo what we saw.”

“On the question of why the chairperson didn’t wait until the next day to announce results, he says results from the final 27 constituencies were already tallied and verified.”
