Electoral commission ineptitude

The conduct of the electoral commission of Kenya and their handling of the election process leaves alot to be desired. With elections concluded 3 days ago, its a wonder that a simple tally of the same can take so long. The ECK seems to have lost control of the process and is not taking any decisive action to quell fears of ballot tampering and reports of vote rigging which have been documented by the media unequivocally. Such things are making the electorate impatient, leading to a breakdown in law and order. Already there are reports of violence, destruction of property and looting as a direct result of the delay for no apparent reason to announce results. Areas that are right in the heart of the city are yet to submit their returns, despite having had ample time, the benefit of infrastructure to support expedited counting and reporting and of course proximity to the nerve center of ECK operations. The commission chairman also seems to be trivializing the overall effect of his ineptitude and lack of foresight which are responsible for the whole mess. Reports are coming in trickles and to quote the chairman verbatim, "they are cooked" to mean tampered with. Now, this is a very disturbing thing, especially coming from the man whose responsibility it is to facilitate free and fair elections, with no resources having been spared. The frustrating wait for the release of official results continues, hoping that there will not be a complete breakdown of the law before then.
