President Uhuru Kenyatta

 

President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Tuesday that any African can get a visa on arrival in Kenya, and will be free to settle in the country if they marry a Kenyan, removing restrictions on some nations.

 

“If you wish and find a willing partner, you can marry and settle in Kenya,” he said during his inauguration address after being sworn-in for a second term in office, saying the move was designed to cement African ties. 

 

According to him: “This commitment we make again with no requirement for reciprocity.”

MOTHER DEFEATS SON IN KENYA ELECTION

A Kenyan female politician showed her son that she was not only older than him in age, she is also more experienced and more popular politically.

Kipng’etich Kones, the son of a late Cabinet Minister Kipkalya Kones, who ran in the Kenyan parliamentary election lost to his mother, Beatrice Kones.

Beatrice Kone beat her son and seven other contestants when she polled 22,796 votes against her son’s 2,410 votes.

Kipng’etich who contested on a Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) ticket got a lot of support from outgoing Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto, while his mother contested on a Jubilee Party ticket.

Many residents of Bomet East, the constituency of the family, said the family battle was not blessed. Others said the rivalry was a depiction of democracy and showed maturity as far as politics is concerned.

According to Kenyan news website, Daily Nation, the area overwhelmingly voted for Jubilee and it might be a reason why Kones lost to his mum.

It was one of the most watched duels in the elections since it pitted members of a nuclear family and the outcome was eagerly awaited.

One of the residents of the area was quoted by a local daily saying the result should be a lesson to all young people.

“You can never rise against your parent, especially your mother and expect to succeed. When my mother speaks I go down on my knees,” said Hezron Tangus, a Bomet East resident.

A political analyst and lecturer at Laikipia University said it was culturally suicidal to compete against one’s mother.

KENYA POLICE, PROTESTERS CLASH AFTER POLL FRAUD CLAIM

Kenyan police have fired tear gas and shot at a group of chanting supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga after the presidential candidate claimed “massive” fraud in this week’s elections.

Leonard Katana, a regional police commander, said Wednesday’s shooting took place when protesters clashed with security forces in South Mugirango constituency in Kisii County, the Associated Press reported, adding that one person was killed in the incident.

Earlier, Odinga rejected the partial results of Tuesday’s presidential polls, saying hackers infiltrated the database of Kenya’s election body to manipulate the “democratic process”.
The opposition leader said that he could not reveal his sources on how he got the information on the alleged hacking.

In a press briefing that took place in the capital Nairobi, the presidential candidate said his party’s results are “completely different” from those published on election commission website.

The contest between President Uhuru Kenyatta, a wealthy 55-year-old businessman, and Odinga, 72, a former political prisoner and son of Kenya’s first vice president,has been a hard-fought election that stoked fears of possible violence.

On Wednesday morning, the election commission website showed Kenyatta leading with 54.4 percent of the votes against 44.8 percent for Odinga, a margin of nearly 1.4 million votes, after 94 percent of the votes were counted.

Raphael Tunju, secretary-general of Kenyatta’s Jubilee party, earlier shrugged off the fraud allegations made by the Odinga camp.

“I don’t expect anything else from NASA,” he said, referring to Odinga’s National Super Alliance party.

“Let’s put it this way, if the results which are being streamed showed that they were leading what would they be saying now?”

Election officials on Tuesday acknowledged the opposition objection, but defended their actions.

“We believe that by displaying results, we have been doing well to enhance transparency and accountability in the electoral process, consistent with the commitment the commission has made to the Kenya people,” said commissioner Consalata Bucha Nkatha Maina, vice chairwoman of the election commission.

The commission’s CEO, Ezra Chiloba, also said a results screen at the commission’s counting centre had frozen because too much data was being received, and that tallies would be updated later Wednesday morning.

During the 2013 polls, Odinga alleged fraud, but quelled unrest by taking his complaints to the courts.

This time, the government deployed more than 150,000 security personnel, including wildlife rangers, to protect 41,000 polling stations.
