Markets remain cagey as presidential petition starts (Business Daily)

Investors are waiting on the decision of the apex court judges, who have been asked to nullify the outcome of the August 9 presidential poll.

Mr Otieno said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) conducted an investigation and found that foreigners indeed interfered with the elections. Nullification of the presidential election and disbandment of the electoral body as prayed by Mr Odinga will see Kenyans wait longer for the next president to assume office. It is time that Chebukati should be shown that the will of the people cannot be interfered with. He said Mr Chebukati’s role is to formally declare the presidential result and issue a certificate to the president-elect after the commissioners have verified and tallied the results from polling stations. He asked the court to make appropriate orders for action to be taken against the IEBC chairman. Why should the people suffer anxiety after every election?” he posed.

There is a telling remark in the Uganda Law Society in the throes of a heated election that the society has become more associated with car washes and other charity causes.

The Law Society of Kenya and International Commission of Jurists have all been admitted as amicus curiae. In the mini-general election a few days ago, in constituencies where the IEBC had the wrong ballot papers, ODM appears to have bested Kenya Kwanzaa.
