There is No Justice in an Injustice System of Democracy
News
On September 1, 2017, Kenya’s Supreme Court led by Chief Justice David Maraga in a six-judge bench delivered a ruling that saw the nullification of the presidential elections results that consequently invalidated the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta as the president-elect. Out of the six judges the four said after considering the evidence by a majority decision; Articles 10, 38, 81 and 86 of the Constitution and Sections 39 ( 1 ), 44 (a) and 83 of the Elections Act, the first respondent (IEBC) failed, neglected or refused to conduct the elections in a manner and the dictates of the Constitution. The ruling demanded that IEBC to conduct an election re-run within 60 days. Raila Odinga said justice has been done and the decision a precedent setting in Africa.
Comment
The court’s decision was another ploy by the callers of democracy to salvage their collapsing democratic system, which since 2007 has failed to realize the people’s power ‘will’ through the ballot. They embarked on a large-scale campaign using all manners of treachery to ensure they provided cosmetic changes in the name of ‘mature democracy’; introduction of the position of Prime Minister for Raila Odinga and he was sworn in as Prime Minister on April, 2008 in order for him to ascend to leadership on behalf of America. They triggered the ICC narrative in 2009 to shore up the international community’s commitment to peace and democratization in Kenya; and Promulgated the 2010 new constitution to provide a benchmark for addressing constitutional challenges witnessed in the old constitution.
The above are just a few of superficial changes they worked on, but; since democracy itself as a system of ruling is drawn from the invalid capitalist ideology. An Invalid Ideology that emanates from limited people’s mind and its objective is to separate religion from life; therefore it was not anticipated to provide any genuine solutions to the underlining issues facing humanity in Kenya and across the globe. Since the changes were informed by vested-interests mindset to benefit the highest bidder. Furthermore, the ruling confirms the following:
1. Kenya’s IEBC independence is in question if it cannot even host its own IEBC servers locally but instead chose to host them in its colonial master’s region (Europe)!
2. The role of election of observers is to monitor elections with preconceived outcome and later issue reports in favour of their paymasters as captured by the election observers from Common Wealth, EU, IGAD who were supportive of Britain’s agent Uhuru Kenyatta while The Carter Center were supportive of America’s agent Raila Odinga. This is informed by the fact most of them gave the general election a clean bill of health with an exception of The Carter Center, which said in its Aug. 10 statement on the vote, noted that "election day voting and counting processes had functioned smoothly but that the electronic transmission of results proved unreliable."
3. High Economic Stakes from international players who were only concerned with Kenya’s stability against the call for credible elections and went ahead and congratulated Uhuru Kenyatta’s reelection despite the fact there was simmering discontent emanating from the opposition who allege that there was a glaring election irregularities.
The realization of genuine change is only by adopting and calling for the alternative Ideology that emanates from the Creator of humanity who knows their interests. That ideology is Islam and its implementation is a sure guarantee to ensure peace, tranquility and prosperity.
