Martha Karua has decided to prove she is relentless in fighting for her gubernatorial seat in Kirinyaga. She doesn’t care about the number of judges and court proceedings she’ll go through to claim her alleged victory.
Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has moved to the Supreme Court yet again to appeal the dismissal of her petition against the election of Ms Anne Waiguru as the Kirinyaga governor in August 2017.
Ms Karua, in a notice of appeal filed at the Court of Appeal registry in Nyeri, indicated that she intends to challenge the entire judgment delivered by Justices Roselyn Nambuye, Hannah Okwengu and Stephen Gatembu on December 20, 2018.
Ms Karua is challenging the decision by the three judges to dismiss her claims against IEBC that the governor’s election was not fair since it was marred by malpractices such as bribery and intimidation of voters.
She also claimed there was forgery of the election statutory forms 37A used to transmit results from polling centres to the county tallying centre.
Ms Karua also alleges that unauthorised people, such as former Mwea MP Alfred Nderitu and businessman Juma Wambugu, were illegally allowed to man the polling stations.
The former Justice minister also alleged that Governor Waiguru’s tally was inflated by over 48,000 votes.
But the appeal judges, while upholding Ms Waiguru’s win, ruled that Ms Karua failed to prove the claims beyond reasonable doubt.
The judges also dismissed her claims that the Kerugoya High Court Judge Lucy Gitari was biased towards Ms Waiguru during the hearing of the petition and that the first verdict of dismissing the case was a miscarriage of justice.
Do you think Karua should give up or fight on?
