At this time, there is no need for piecemealing. The media houses are rotten to the top. They have access to 98% of the results, all on form 34A, but they have refused to release the results to the Kenyans. They have failed on their duty to inform. Now we have to wait for Chebukati to complete his math, while Nation, Standard, RMS, etc. already have the results. Information delayed is information denied.

When you have the tabloid journalist in every corner of media houses, you get mediocre results. It is now in full display and the minute these houses realized their results are not synchronizing, they still continue. IEBC should be the only one displaying results at this point!

@imkgogo this media guys are working under difficult conditions as they must write as their employers wish.A good example is Royal media services journalists who a whole year were forced to campaign for muuaji Raila by Kamau,the owner.He was not even ashamed that his stations have misled Kenyans for the past 24 hours.The guy plus some 50 Mt. Kenya elite gangsters must pay savage Raila protection fee to evade taxation.But they forget there is tomorrow which has unexpectedly arrived.
