Wafula Chebukati, IEBC Chairman
Yesterday, MacDonald Mariga Wanyama was declared fit to vie for the Kibra Member of National Assembly seat on a Jubilee Ticket.
That came after a series of setbacks which culminated in Mariga being suspended for not being a registered voter among other serious issues.
Mariga later showed that he is indeed a registered voter, however, illegally registered past the registration date required before an election is conducted.
His lawyers however managed to convince IEBC that registration is continuous. I don't have any candidate that am supporting for the Kibra parliamentary seat, but I think the argument by Mariga's lawyers is just bulshit since as Chebukati thinks, Election laws only apply to voters and not candidates.
One Twitter user put it thus, ' IEBC : The house of Illegality without blinking'. Here are some of those comments we sampled on how Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) felt about Mariga's candidature:
