Many so called leaders and top people have no clue what it entails.@MisterAlbieHehe guys stop reading too much into CJ Maraga voting. He directed we go back to the polls in 60 days. He just supported his decision.@lagalessDAVID MARAGA voted so as to shut up the voices of Jubilee who will say he is pro-Raila, when he annuls this election too.@ItsMutaiAaaww!

He knows the law, the boycott isn't constitutional #ElectionsKE@RoadAlertsKEMaraga votes as well, he knows it's election day, he respects the rule of law and he used wisdom.
