CJ David Maraga foiled this plan to prevent election petitions being heard by formally sending a letter to the Judiciary instructing them to stay open tomorrrow (Wednesday). The government has now decided to blockade all Nairobi and Mombasa courts to prevent any cases relating to the election being heard. The Court in Mombasa has in fact already been blockaded with no one allowed in, including staff. The Nairobi courts will be blockaded tomorrow.Everyday, this lawless power grab by Uhuru Kenyatta is being exposed. We ask all friends of Kenya to denounce it and to urge the IEBC to sue for postponement of the election.Salim LoneNASA Presidential Candidate Raila Odinga."
