OT: Minister used witchcraft in poll. |
Witness: Minister used witchcraft in poll

Foreign Affairs minister Ali Chirao Mwakwere used witchcraft to scare
away voters in Matuga constituency during the last General Election, a
witness has claimed.
The witness said in a petition affidavit that Mwakwere, who won the
Matuga seat on a Narc ticket, planted witchcraft paraphernalia near
polling stations on the eve of the voting day.
The claims were made by a Kanu Parliamentary loser, Mr Hassan Mwanyoha,
who has filed a petition seeking to nullify the election of Mwakwere.
Mwanyoha is represented by Mutula Kilonzo.
He was defeated by Mwakwere with 159 votes which he claims were unfairly
added on to the minister’s tally illegally.
Mwanyoha told Justice David Magara that Mwakwere’s agents criss-crossed
the constituency on the eve of election planting "demonic substances" in
polling stations.
He claims the act psychologically traumatised would-be voters who "did
not vote with their conscience".
But in his defence, already filed in preparation for Monday’s full
hearing, Mwakwere denies the claims and asks Mwanyoha to prove his case.
Mwakwere is represented by Gikandi Ngibuini.
Mwanyoha claimed that Mwakwere personally bribed voters on their way to
polling stations.
He has listed more than 10 witnesses who claim they saw Mwakwere bribing
voters. Mwanyoha says the witnesses will testify that Mwakwere
slaughtered animals, which were allegedly buried at some polling
stations to intimidate the voters.
The petitioner claimed there was massive rigging and that the election
was unfairly conducted. He further claims that the counting of votes and
the voting was influenced in favour of Mwakwere, who was not popular.
He further claims that ballot papers were tampered with at the polling
station to favour Mwakwere adding that the counting was wrongly done and
interfered with in various polling station where his agents were not
allowed to be in the polling stations.
He said he will also call 79 voters who were turned away from various
polling stations because their names were missing and yet they are
registered voters.
Among the polling stations in which the petitioner says voters were seen
being bribed are Tiwi, Mwachema, Kirodi, Vunga, Mwadudu and others.
Mwanyoha says he will call witnesses who allegedly saw Mwakwere giving
voters bribes at Kirodi Tiwi and Mwachema polling stations.
He is seeking orders for the scrutiny of the Parliamentary civic and
presidential ballot papers .

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."
