Indeed Kenyan election is presenting us with peculiar results that cant be ignored. Initially when the electronic system of tallying votes was said to be working, it wasnt unusual to find tripple "ones" or tripple "threes" in each of the results. For example, Uhuru Kenyatta would be having 2, 1*1, **1! And the Raila Odinga would be shown to be having 1,**1, **1! Then again it would be shown as Uhuru 2,3**, 3*3 and Raila same pattern but abit reversed 1,*3*, 33*! So when a man of high integrity like Raila's running mate and vice president, Kalonzo Musyoka, says tallying lacks integrity, something sinister is really afoot! However, Kenyans should remain calm and wait for final results.
