During the recent General Election, all the presiding and returning officers and polling clerks, whether in ODM strongholds or elsewhere, were appointed and posted by the ECK.
The registers, ballot papers and ballot boxes were all under the control of the Government and ECK.
The tallying mechanisms at polling stations, constituency tallying centres and KICC were under the control of the Electoral Commission.
In fact, ODM was so locked out that it was not even able to protect its own victory from being stolen in front of its very eyes, and in front of the eyes of the world.
How then is ODM supposed to have penetrated this system in order to introduce rigging?
These matters were carefully explained to the US envoy, Dr Jendayi Frazer, by Hon Raila Odinga himself.
It is therefore surprising to see Mr Ranneberger raising them again.
If the ambassador has “ample evidence” of ODM rigging, it would be interesting if he could produce it.
