I am from the South Pacific and not from the African continent but I admire him and salute him with great respect...He is a hero indeed..Great African Leader...From Papua New Guinea.
little did I know that such great men of super intellect, still exist in Africa. With all humility, I salute you our quintessential speaker. Vincent Adomi OKorafor
Trent Mcgready how can he get a NOBEL PRIZE for a speech that is Pan Africanist... who will be given the NOBEL PRIZE... lol the Swedish white oppressive institutions are the once who will recognize a Pan Africanist called Lumumba get out of here... 🤣
The greatest, thinker and lecturer of our time. PLO Lumumba, I salute you for your brave and tireless effort to liberate our continent. I have learned so much from your lectures, and I pray that God will grant you a long life so you can continue teaching and inspiring us.
Prof PLO LUMUMBA is a great inspiration speaker. His speech today in Namibia left a lot with knowledge. He is a subject of success and influential key note speaker. Thanks for your speech Grotman
As an outsider I can tell Afrika that Afro People as whole have such great qualities that no other people or continents have. I not only observe ur speakers, the sheer excellence of their speeches, but I also observe the sheer excellence of the listeners who digest each & every word in rapt attention & respond so well to what is being said. It proves that Afrika has the quality to rise to the No.1 spot in the Comity of Nations because Afros are undoubtably the Children of the Greatest God for our planet... Time will prove me right... Hail Rev Prof Dr PLO Lumumba ... Hail Great Afro People ... Amen ... 👍🙋🌷🌼✔️✔️✔️
Professor Lumumba, although I have only a couple of weeks heard of you and listening to your messages and speeches have realized my history. I’ve been on a full throttle search for the pass four years after a three week stay in London England. My journey actually started with another world view aside the one I have experience in the United States. The emptiness that clutches my very soul, wants and need to be filled with as much Africa history and status for the rest of my life. You are beyond amazing, I have much love and respect for Prof..Lumumba I don’t have the words to express how your speeches have impacted my mind and thinking. My life here in the USA has been 75 years of degradation, miseducation, biblical deception. My love is for my family, friends and the Creator GOD almighty, which one I’ll understand everything. I don’t want my life to end here. I want to come to Africa.
Kenya is alive and breathing life, a mix of everything and she is still going strong. Proudly Kenyan, blessing Kenya and praying for Kenya. Thank you prof. Lumumba and God bless Kenya as a whole. Amen!
@@trishblack4993 Thank you! Exactly what I was thinking. Funny how people always want to claim ownership of a Pan African revered across the continent, and somewhat try to to remind people that he's from a certain corner of the continent and yet tribalism and corruption is what defines them, and it obviously reflects in their electoral process.
this guy is so good i am so proud to be an Afrikan, he is one of our own, please tell the whole world that Afrika produces intellectuals of high order, very proud of Prof Lumumba.
@ Mthandeni Mncina, Nelson Makgakoa, Nyc Mkhondwane, you are better off listening to Malema or reading the writings of Bantu Biko than listening to this empty suit.
Qiniso Truth No matter what you say, I think he has a better eloquence and articulation of words than you and your family combined.. So just shut up and go back to school, until you have a Prof prefix in your name, then you can have scholars sitting down taking notes as they listen to you speak.
@ Samuel Kimani. You are entitled to your own opinion but I'll have you know, I had the privilledge to learn the law under the tutelage of some of the most erudite legal minds in the UK. My Public Law Lecturer (Constitutional and Admnistrative law) was and remains one of the best in his field. He had a fantastic grasp of the law, history and politics, coupled with a simple delivery, he married all these skills beautifully to our great benefit. He was the genuine article subsequently, I can tell a charlatan from a mile off. PLO is a charlatan and a verbose one for that matter. I highly doubt if you held him in high esteem prior to the recent election case in which he represented the IEBC. Now, that Fred Ngatia, first class! Top banana. PLO? Rubbish! To you, I suggest you work on your grammar before you embark on policing others. Good day!
I wish if the African leaders, and citizens of the African countries would understand what PLO Lumumba is preaching over Africans. Does the multiple party system introduced to the African countries meant to split African?Watch out.
This lecture should be watch by South Africans of ALL races & political persuations ! It is one of the most observantly astute, lectures I have listened to in ages ! This guy has hit a host of nails squarely on the head. But I guess, not many will watch this & then they will continue to scratch their heads & continue to moan about the "State of South Africa" & do nothing to try to positively change it. It is for those, that I weep in frustration !
Tobrok Wa Mike He didn't actually. He was head of the anti corruption committee and they threw him out as they couldn't pay him out. You will find that the people who claim he defended theft are those who are against him defending the electoral and boundaries commission on their recent Supreme Court case and if you have any basic knowledge of the lawyer, you'll appreciate that everyone has a right to fair representation. Also, you don't ignore someone's message simply because you don't agree with his actions on something totally unrelated.
one of my great leaders in africa...but what amazes me, is his memory of everything his is speaking about today, he even remembers the late tiros years etc...very intelligent of course
I wish every African leaders were listening and utilizing the thoughts and wisdom of this Professor. one thing I know, his thoughts will live forever. Long live Professor.
Prof. Lumumba has always fascinated me with his great wit and the colorful use of vocabularies to keep his audience at the edge of their seats. His speeches will remain some of the oratorical coup-de-maître in the annals of history.
It's a privilege and an honour to live in the same period as this great orator. There will not be another like him, for generations. I have great hope for Africa with man like him holding the torch up high for us and for future generations to see the way ahead.
Hate him or love him, PLO's got what we all don't have, and that's the reason of why we are all on the other side of TH-cam, commenting and criticising... instead of being listened to by African scholars.
He is the most relevant and powerful man in our time, I have listened to many speeches about religion and politics, but this man is the real deal. You're like no one else 🙏👑😇
The more i listen to this man the more my imaginations changes. Africa and the world needs more people like this, who encourages others to think positively.
I was watching him live at our beautiful university of Limpopo, I salute this man n even his shadow. Prof PLO LUMUMBA is a pain killer always. what i have realised in life people who grew up with you will never praises you because of jealous
Wena Sazini Sibiya, jealousy has got nothing to do with it. To claim that Kenyans are averse to PLO because of envy is akin to saying that people don't like Zuma out of jealousy. You need to read up on the history of this man to understand why Kenyans are unimpressed with him. Very few Kenyans understand the Black Consciousness Movement or even comprehend that there were other parties such as PAC or AZAPO who played a huge role in shaping the struggle discourse in South Africa. I really don't think PLO even quite understands what Tiro and Azapo stood for. I don't know who thought it fit to ask him to speak on Ongkopotse Tiro, he is not fit to utter Tiro's name.
@sazini you nailed it .the problem specially with us Kenyans is jealousy .we hardly recognise our leaders .we only recognise a bunch of false leaders whose parents were accomplices and colonial collaborators and is these same so called leaders who head our political parties and own everything in kenya and indeed their assault dogs are the ones you see on this page villifying prof lumumba.
PLO'S is am impeccable orator,he's one of great African speaker. I love his speeches that tend to enlighten not only his ancestoral brothers but also across the continent. kudos
I've never come across this man's speeches until recently not more than two weeks. This is thw kind of people we want who can speak the truth without fear, who can move the minds of our today's youth towards rightful thinking by reminding them their history, enlightening them about the present, and putting them on the right track for better tomorrow. Kudos to you prof. It gliding my heart to listen when you speak.
It is my first time to listen to the man, he is indeed an African Icon, today I have listened to more than 5 speeches delivered by this great man and I wondered how could African Leaders be failing Africans while there are just a call away from a man like Prof. Lumumba who could give them direction and advise . This man is great, he is what Africa needs.
How i wish i was there to listen to the political intelligence this man posses. PLO we thank you for the constant African education you always deliver to us through your speeches.
I Agree and it is in most of the time undermined, hence we lack it. So this man whenever he speaks he educates you about the African Politics, African Leadership, African Problems, African Socio economic Issues etc. Something our own colonized education does not teach us. I agree with you 100% when you say we need Action and the unfortunate part of that is we need Action from Politically hygiene, corruption free leaders of our society at large.
@ Edmond Motanya. If you PLO hasn't got a clue of the dynamics of South African politics that is why he has got nothing new, original or radical to add to the discourse. Goodness gracious the man can't even sloganise properly, when one says "Mayibuye.... iAfrica" x2 and the crowd responds, s/he must then turn around and say "iAfrica... Mayibuye" x2. And to refer to Lesotho as LesoTHO, for heavens sake the H is silent...one says LESUTU. I can bet you he refers to the people of Botswana as Botswanians as opposed to Tswanas. Bloody ignorant African. Whoever invited PLO to speak failed to vet him. This here PLO is nothing but charlatan. Not an original thought in sight. Trots out the same speech over and over again, the only difference is when he is in Ghana he will name check Nkurumah, in Tanzania he will name check Mwalimu and in South Africa he name checked the usual ANC suspects with the exception of Biko, Sobukwe and Tiro. Tiro was not ANC he was AZAPO. AZAPO and the PAC consisted of some the brilliant minds in the South African struggle. They were the backbone of the Black Consciousness Movement. Way back in the 60s and 70s they foretold of the malaise that would beset South Africa if the Revolutinary Movement did not uproot the status quo. Fact. In the 90s, the ANC sold out South Africans at CODESA. Those in the nous said so then and now they are being vindicated. PLOS speech has done nothing to improve the discourse as pertains South Africa then and South Africa now. If you are looking to be educated on African Politics, African Leadership, African Problems and African Socio Economic issues then I suggest you start by reading Steve Biko's 'I Write What I Like' and Thomas Sankara's 'Sankara Speaks'. Although these were written decades ago, the messages remain relevant to this day, for what ails Arica remains the same, then and now.
@Qiniso Truth. I appreciate the fact that you speak solution to a problem. Most of PLO's speeches are about corruption and the the true reality of Africa's shortfall, the malfunctions of the continent itself. I See his speeches as more of a moral consciousness tool, education to my Black African soul. @Qiniso Truth there is a saying that says there are two sides to a man, the bad and the good, all you can do is to take the good out of him. So i do not think its of good deed to discredit him based on his pronunciation the words you quoted above, i am sure you would agree with me if i say i would also struggle to pronounce most of East Africa indigenous words as oppose to my own in my Land. At Home here, Zulu can pronounce the name of the province i come from "Limpopo" so it is a deficiency we most suffer the point however is to get the massage across, so if a Zulu man come to me and say;"i want to go to Limpompo" my unconsciously without even rep reminding my mind i know his referring to my homeland. So Take the Good out of the man and leave the bad things to himself. With the good you will educate yourself. Lastly, Thank you very much for the African literature you have cited as recommendations, i do have Steve Biko's "I write what i like" i will look for Thomas Sankara's "Sankara Speaks".
In order to truly appreciate a great man, you need to see if He's appreciated by his own people. I once read somewhere that a prophet is never accepted in his own land. When you read the comments on this video, It is ONLY the kenyans who are insulting this great mind. The rest of the entire continent of Africa and the greater world has grown to love and appreciate Professor PLO Lumumba and may he continue to grow stronger in order to inspire all of us, He is a true Jewel and blessing to us all.
There are a lot to say,but this guy is a real dynamite,his vision and great distinction and elaboration of great value,definitely immeasurable,simply unbelievable!
A Kenyan jewel. But hated by the powerful because he knows of the corrupt ones: hated by the tribalists: hated by his own tribe because he not tribalistic: hated by the liars because he speaks truth: hated by losers because he is a winner: hated becausr he champions the weak and admonishes the powerful. For those who criticise his speech they forget English is not his first language. Africa needs more of the character of PLO.
Tobrok Wa Mike Many thanks. I know of him well. He provokes positives and negatives in Kenyans. Talk to Kenyans? Be.more concerned about lap tops, be more concerned about IDPs since 2007-2008, be concerned about the PEV of 2007, be concernec how from the beginning Kenya corruption defeated the ICC with winess intimidation and non cooperation with from state organisations, be concerned about land grabbing, be concerned about poverty and poor health care, be concerned about Turkana....it goes on. Give me PLO any day as compared to the post colonial political elite who carve it up amongst themselves year in year out. Talk to Kenyans!. Nah. I know Kenya.
Stikskubwa, I'd rather someone read Bantu iko's ' I Write What I Like' than listen to this schill. Even Malema has more integrity than this charlatan. His tenure as Chairman at the anti-corruption unit turned out to be a huge mess, all because he was foolish enough to accept contributions ( for his foundation) from the very people he was supposed to be investigating. Talk about conflict of his interest. He was turfed out so fast. Sadly the drama he created only served to put back the anti-graft fight in Kenya. He then goes on to defend the IEBC? If he really believes in democracy, in the Rule of Law, he should have recused himself. His arguments were completely lacking in substance, it was clear that he could not find any law to marry to the facts in hand so he just went about wittering on in that verbose way of his. Any good law will tell you that a strong legal argument is one that marries the FACTS to the LAW. The facts of the case were hot mess there is no way, they could be tied to any law. Thank God for the God fearing astute Supreme Court bench. They managed to sift the wheat from the chaff and handed down a stellar ruling. PLO showed his ass and he will never again have good standing before any right thinking Kenyan or Pan-Africanist. End of!
Qiniso Truth .Speak of the PEV.Speak of the IDPs.Speak of rampant corruption. Speak of where Kenya stands in the league table of corrupt nations. Speak of nepotism. Speak of massive national debt. Speak of rife national poverty. Speak of tribal manipulation for political ends. Speak of the killing of the IEBC IT official. Speak of filthy rich politicians who have fleeced the country. PLO telling as it is and the corrupt do not like it. The surprise is that he is still with us unlike others who have perished....... He is a lawyer and entitled to earn his living defending who he pleases. It is a principle of judicial democracy.
@ Stixkubwa. Indeed, Kenya is guilty of that plus more. Thing is, PLO purports to speak up against these things and then you find him in bed with some of those very same corrupt individuals he is harping on about. Sanitise this! Sanitise that! His call for African gorvenments to sanitise themselves now amounts to nothing. Indeed as a lawyer, the 'kerb rank rule' stipulates that a lawyer is expected to represent whoever knocks on his door, by the same token, under the LEGAL ETHICS allow for a lawyer to decline to take on a case if s/he feels they cannot adequately represent the client. PLO opted to represent the IEBC, based on this, I believe it is correct to say that PLO took this recent case because he felt that the IEBC case had a merit (s). And therein lies the problem! I cannot for the life of me see how a genuine Pan- Africanist could do what PLO did. His actions illustrate that this is a man who is not afraid to speak from both ends of his mouth. Africanists like Tiro or Biko or Sobukwe would never have fixed their mouths to defend the very system that oppressed them, so how can PLO defend IEBC and by extension, Jubilee? He has shown his true colours and rest assured, Kenyans will never forget!
Prof. you are a genius! My question is: what stops you from leveraging on your influence globally, expertise, experience, vision, kind heart...... to implement some of these great ideas of yours. Especially an International Media House for Africa, and by Africa to educate Africa, support African businesses, culture......... and so on. Prof. Lumumba please do and it will be wonderful. Thank you. Blessings
He is inspirational and knowledgeable. i would have loved for him to delve deeply into other vital revelations but i understand the censorship is great, having a great hold plus the consequence especially from the disloyal and the sell-out leaders. 'We must apply effort in the things that require effort...' 'Choose you now who you want to serve' Superb Elder, may you live long to awaken us all. Thank you Senior..
A very relevant and a moving speech by PLO not only to S.Africans but to the entire Africa as a continent.Truly soldiers never die.If contents of Brain of a human being could be copied and pasted then i would burn my midnight oil to upload the contents of this learned Prof. into mine. A great Historian and Orator. Live long Professor.
All young people should listen to these speech. It has alot of history worthy knowing. Wish professor Lumumba could give me 1% of his brain. But the truth is, not possible. May be his children through genetic allocation. However, probably through EXTRA hard work anybody can try and become. Thank you professor. From this speech I have learnt alot I dint know inspite of being 9yrs your senior. Congrats.
I have been watching speeches by PLO Lumumba, and was very impressed and considered him as the only great African SPEAKER who could tell the truth, democrat, Loyal and non-corrupt. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED WHEN I SAW HIM PARTICIPATING IN KILLING DEMOCRACY IN HIS OWN COUNTRY KENYA. This is a great SPEAKER than others who is talented in speech making but doing contrary to what he speaks. If truly he means what he speaks, let him apologise to Kenyans. Since I saw him killing DEMOCRACY in court I started hating him like I do hate other hypocrites who are everywhere in Africa.
@AAbas Mohammed, on the one hand I am appalleed he took th ecase, on the other hand I am elated that the world can finally see him for what he is, an empty suit!
We don't try-hard. The hypocrisy in him makes it all easy for us. Just because he spits some Martin Lurther shit, that doesn't make him worth of anybody's respect. Not if he can't walk the talk. The guy talks so much, and too good. But will defend the vile most thing on earth if paid a few millions. The likes of Martin Lurther and Martin Lutherat least stood for what they preached, this one has NO stand of his own. If anything that's some wikipedia shit he's spitting. Nothing serious. I'll be sleeping the whole time if he happens to be the speaker in a convention I have attended. Then pick out a few keywords and run them on Google and I'll be equally knowledgeable. AMF, that's all he did the night before this speech..
@ F Nino. You ain't NEVA lied!!!! Anyone familiar with the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa can easily tell this man didn't have a clue about Ongkopotse Tiro, AZAPO or what they stood for. He is an intellectual dwarf who offers nothing new to the Pan-Africanist discourse. I would have turned a blind eye to his shenanigans until he turned up in the Supreme Court clutching his 30 pieces of silver in hand and sprouting anecdotes with the intention to subvert the Rule of Law. Poor excuse of a human being he is.
Seamus in Horizontal Orange take a chill pill bro. You don't have to agree with him. However, he was invited and you were not. Try and make yourself relevant. Perhaps more than him.
Seamus in Horizontal Orange I think you should heed Yamusa's advice: try and make yourself relevant! And oh, did you say you sympathize TO...? Please go get yourself educated.
@@DewnetteReid * THEY BOAT SPOKE FACTS SPEAKING AGAINST COLONIALISM.THEY ARE FROM THE SAME RACIAL BACKGROUND ATTACKED BY THE SAME TYPE OF EUROPEANS, CALLED THE SAME NAMES ect. SHUT UP YOUR CAUCASIAN MOUTH.
Prof. Lumumba is appreciated in every corner of Africa because of inspirational teachings. I think through his teachings African Leaders are required to learn so that our nations will move forward economically. We all believe that our colonial masters granted our nations political FREEDOM not ECONOMIC FREEDOM as we are still suffering from Neo colonialism from both capitalist and socialist persipectives. Why civil wars in Somalia, Nigeria, DRC and south Sudan? Prof. Teach African Leaders to stop disobedience in constitutions, teach them to trust other that they can lead their Nations, teach them to stop accumulating their national resources for their benefits and not for their people and their nations. History should lead our leaders to change and mould the future of our Africa. God bless that man!
Bro I've been following you relentlessly, and allows me to be more convinced that ' society is a dangerous 'norn', therefore I refuse to be normal. Thanks for your continual assistance.
There is a word that says "no one is perfect" but on my opinion this wonderful man might be perfect in speeches and actions. Love him so much. ..! Keep on opening the eyes of my Africans. .. Thanks! !
what an honour to have been in the mist of UL varsity when the man spoke today...this man is an intellectual and trust you me, what he said "South Africa will apologise indeed the day when History is well written to the Former President Thabo Mbeki that he should have stayed.." indeed today South Africa regrets and i also Do!
No he is wrong about Mbeki, Mbeki had to go, we could not change the Constitution because of him, thats how a dicatorship starts. The only thing that was wrong was to recall him in September 2008 before his termed finished in April of 2009.
Have you guys noticed that Kenyans are Here to set their strong Example of Tribal division practice in kenya, Strong behavior of The Neocolonialism Project. The Job of a Lawyer is not to judge, but to provide a material witness and evidence base practice to the court for the court to decide. The true winner will come out when the next election in kenya is repeated.
SuperKwame1. Much as the 'Kerb Rank'stipulates that a lawyer must take whatever brief that comes across his desk, LEGAL ETHICS ( small topic covered in 2 hours in law school- 1 hr lecture, 1 hr seminar) allows for a lawyer to recuse himself from a case if he feels that for whatever reason s/he cannot adequately represent the client. PLO spends substantial amount of his time going on about how African democracies need to pull up their socks. The recent election case in the Kenyan Supreme Court was a seminal moment and PLO by choice somehow managed to find himself on the wrong side of history.
Qiniso Truth, Please do not sweat about it too much. On 17th October, 2017 , we will hold the fresh election that the Supreme court ordered. President Uhuru Kenyatta will win it again because he won the first one on 8/8/2017. he was robbed off victory by our activist Supreme Court. That judgement was bogus at best and legal banditry at worst. President Kenyatta referred to the judges as 'wakora' [thugs]. That is exactly what they were. Sample this MR. Truth, The world over, elections are about numbers and votes. When we voted, the difference between the legitimate winner, Kenyatta, and the loser, Odinga, was 1.4 million votes. Mr.Odinga petitioned the election in court NOT ON THE BASIS OF VOGTES, but on the basis of how the votes were transmitted. In other words, he petitioned not on votes, but on how the votes were transported and reported. INhis petition, Mr. Odinga never questioned the presidents 8.2 million votes. He never even disputed his own 6.7 or so million votes by alleging that he could have got more. He never disputed a single vote for Uhuru Kenyatta. He never questioned the margin (the 1.4 million votes). NO! He 'disptuted' the transmission. In other words, the infrastructure. What was being transmitted were VOTES and nothing more, nothing less! It is THE VOTES that were being transmitted! The correct votes were transmitted but then , there were some logistical issues like unsigned forms because some returning officers didn't sign the forms (and most of these were in Raila's stronghold). It's even been said that it was sabotage on Raila's side in order to reject the election which he probably knew he was going to lose. In some instances, where forms were to be scanned and then sent, the scanners and coyping machines broke down! There was NO HACKING of the electronic election manangement system and even the manufacturere, theFrench company said as much. There was no culpability on the part of the third respondent, in this case Mr. President. Mr. President did no wrong! that is according to the Supreme court. The person on the wrong was Prof. Lumumba's client; the IEBC (electoral commission). Now, my question is, how can the court overturn an election due to the way results were transmitted? Why punish the voter? Why punish the country? Why punish Uhuru? This court is an embarrassment! It put process adn procedure over and above substance and in this case, substance was the votes! The court didn't even order an examination of all the ballots as well as a recount yet, that is within its purview! ....adn by the way, Uhuru had no business asking for a recount! He won! Winners never ask for a recount! It is the loser who asks for the recount but in this case, he never did because he knew that he had lost. The KIEMS kit (Kenya integrated elections management System is foul proof! Kenya conducted the best election Africa has ever had! Transmission or no transmission (what is transmission by the way) , Kenya conducted the most credible election on African soil and Uhuru won hands down and he will WIN AGAIN! The supreme court disgraced itself. The precedent set by the supreme court is so low that if a returning officer refuses to sign a form from a given constituency (which is part of transmission), then, following its own precedent, the Supreme court can nullify the repeat election again! ....and again and again and again! No election is perfect but the retarded SC of Kenya ruled that elections have to be perfect in the way votes or results are transmitted and reported. they may not have used the exact words but that is how it ruled! This court is a den of iniquity. 'finally, Lumumba did a great job at the bogus supreme court. the odds were stacked against his IEBC and the president. There is nothing any reasonable man could have done were he in the shoes of Lumumba or the presidents lawyers. This was a travesty of justice and I truly hope no one uses it as case law either in Africa or anywhre else in the world. I am embarrassed by our SC.
@ Natiive son. Before I proceed, I'd like to make it known that the correct mode of address should MADAME Truth. Back to the issues at hand. According to the law (The Constitution) and previous judicial decisions, in order to access the validity of the election results, the following things were going to be assessedd; a) voting b) electronic transmission of results (by image and text to tallying centre) c) the display of results in a public portal that is accountable, verifiable and accurate. *The aforementioned standards determine whether or not results meet the constitutional threshold.* Kenyans queued and voted peacefully. The shenanigans began and escalated at the point of counting and tabulating the votes. At which point the mode of transmission was brought into question. I don't know whether it is lack of comprehension on your part, or whether you are just hell bent on spinning a pack of lies. Understand this, *the issue was not the infrastructure per se, the issue was the information (NUMBERS) that was fed into the electronic facility and then transmitted!* NASA went to court and successfully argued that the numbers were not adding up. In regards to the numbers, Nasa argued that a) an algorithm had been fed into the server such that once Raila's votes were fed into the system, Uhuru's votes automatically increased by 11%! This was demonstrated by the fact that when tabulated on a graph, Uhuru's votes increased in a straight line. Anyone who is familiar with statistics knows that in an event such as an election, it is highly unlikely for results to pan out in a straight line. b) Still on the issue of numbers, it was established that almost 0.5 Million people went to the polling station and voted in the Presidential elections alone. They did not bother for other representatives. On examination of the results, it was found that votes cast in the presidential election (15,588,038) far exceeded those for Governors (15,098,646) and Members of the National Assembly (15,008,818) by 482,202 and 567,517 ballots respectively. How can one go to the polling station and not vote for a Gorvenor/ MP/ Senator/ MCAs/ Women's Rep? Very odd! Uhuru was the actual beneficiary. Any right thinking person can straight away tell that the number of people involved in this anomaly was too high, too high, such that it cannot be easily passed off as a coincidence. The law of probabilities stipulates that there is no way the difference between the Presidential elections and Guberbatorial elections as well as the Presidential elections and MCA elections would amount to almost roughly the same figure. When pressed, the IEBC lawyers tried to argue that the other 5 ballots may have been cast in the wrong box, what is known as 'stray votes'. Coincidence? I think not. When pressed, IEBC papers admitted that IEBC could'nt account for the stray BALLOT PAPERS! At one point, IEBC lawyers argued that the 0.5 M votes could be mainly attributed to prisoners and diaspora votes. *NASA argued that these two groups could not make up 0.5 million.* because only the Kenyans based in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and S. Africa were allowed to vote.* *As of March 2017 it was established that only 1,500 in the diaspora were registered to vote*. The prison numbers were even lower, for example, only 7 prisoners in the notorious Manyani prison registered to vote. Again, probability dictatesthere is no way, diasporians and prisoners were going to vote for Uhuru lock and stock! *Bottom line, once you add up the numbers of all the prisoners and diasporians eligible to vote, the figure does not add up to 0.5 Million!* Red Flag!! In simple English, there was just no way to account for 0.5 Million votes that Uhuru is alleged to have received! c) Nasa had some copies of the original Forms 34A and Forms 34B. They went on to argue that the results on some Forms 34A did not match the results on Forms 34B. There were many instances where, it was clear that by the time the results were being transferred to the Form 34B, Raila's results were being deducted, whilts Uhuru's results were being bumped up! There were 40, 483 polling stations i. When you add all those extra votes Uhuru got and you begin to understand the gravity of the matter. The Supreme Court didn't just sit there and take NASA's word for it, instead they asked for the digital footprint. They asked IEBC to open the servers so that they (and by extension the world) would see the forms that had been scanned, transmitted and logged/filed into the database. The digital records would have been enough to ascertain whether the tranmitted information that was correct! Hence the issue of transmission! I repeat the issue is not the technology, the issue is the records that went into the computers! When the Court requested access, IEBC and Jubilee lawyers weren't happy. They argued that granting access to the server would leave the system open to tampering. The Supreme Court then went on to instruct IEBC to provide 'READ ONLY' access but IEBC (egged on by Jubilee lawyers) refused to comply. Limited 'READ ONLY' access was finally granted very late in the day. If Uhuru won, then his representatives should have been extremely keen to provide the digital footprint showing the numbers! Instead they made it nigh on impossible for the Court Registrar and Court IT experts to access the digital footprint. As the matter stands, IEBC are still in contempt of the court order. The days of impunity are over and heads will roll. Somebody within the IEBC better start singing like a canary in order to secure a plea bargain. But I digress. When the servers were opened, the Court Registrar established a host of anomalies which confirmed that all was not well. For example, there were missing Forms 34A and Forms 34B; results from certain polling stations were missing. Even worse, a new password had been created for the IEBC Chairman Chebukati, this password was then used to gain access to the server 9,934 times! It has now come to light that this new password was created without Chebukati's knowledge. It's important to know why the fake Chebukkati logged in. The only way to find out is open the servers, but that is not going to happen. Uhuru would much rather lambast the Supreme Court who are trying to help him confirm his win, than lambast IEBC for messing up his win, How odd! You've gone on to state that NASA/Orengo/Raila never argued about the numbers. You're wrong, Orengo said that when all the factors are taken into consideration, one cannot account for upto FIVE MILLION VOTES. And yet here you are talking about Uhuru won by 1.4 million votes. c) Numbers aside, NASA further argued that several irregularities had taken place. * By the time the matter went to court, they had examined over 25,000 vote declaration forms and detected errors in 14,000 of the forms*. The errors ranged from inter alia, unsigned documents, or the name of * one presiding officer being shown as the official in charge of elections in multiple stations at the same time*. NASA officials found 443 instances of ungazetted polling stations, election results forms that had been filled out in the same handwriting, and forms that have a polling station, names and details of agents as well as their signatures but were blank in spaces meant to show results. NASA argued there was chickenary galore, Forms 34A, 34B did not have security features. For example, some forms did not have the watermark signs, some did not have serial numbers, some did not have barcodes and those that had barcodes, the barcodes were not tied to any polling stations in Kenya, instead they were tied to various places overseas! Such was the chutzpah some Jubilee returning officer actually scanned in results written on an exercise book paper. Muite tried to argue that there is no legal requirement for forms to bear security. The Bench saw right through that argument. d) By the time of announcing the Presidentialresults, Chebukati purported his numbers to be final. This suggested he had received all the tallies from all the polling stations. According to Nasa, by the time Chebukati made this announcement *he did not have documents for 11,883 polling stations.* So how exactly did IEBC know that Uhuru had won? Based on this, the bench decided that the elections were null and void because requirement b) electronic transmission of results (by image and text to tallying centre) and c) the display of results in a public portal that is accountable, verifiable and accurate had not been met! If Uhuru claims that he won the elections, then he should direct his ire at the IEBC. It was the IEBC's responsibility to ensure that requirement b and c were met. If Uhuru is confident that he has the numbers, then he should have been furious with the wakoras at IEBC who refused to open the servers so that his lawyers could use the digital foot print to demonstrate his win. The Supreme Court has set a new precedent that the world over stands to benefit from. They have established that the PROCESS counts. It's not just important for the mwananchi to queue peacefully for hours on end in order to cast his/her vote. It's important to ensure that each vote is properly counted and accounted for. Unlike in Stalin's Russia, in Kenya, not only do those who vote matter, those who count the vote matter as well!!! Those who count the vote have a responsibility to ensure the numbers tally! The culprit isn't the Supreme Court or NASA. The culprit may well be IEBC but truth be told, IEBC did not stand to gain anything from this mess, Uhuru & Ruto did. The operation was large scale, there is no way Raila would have succesfully bungled up the elections in such a short space of time. As we speak, Chebukati's memo has revealed even more anomalie; the GPRS for the KIEMS kits were switched off. Satelite phones weren't distributed. The list is long and endless.
Qiniso, very well put. First of all, let me apologise for mistaking you for a dude. This is the first time I am coming across a name like yours. Pole. Secondly, the MAIN problem with the court's ruling [THERE WERE SEVERAL] is the short judgement it rendered. Now, I do understand that time was of the essence but most of the evidence that formed the court's opinion was not delivered and normally, this creates a vacuum which breeds rumours allegations and assertions. It does not mean that everything that Orengo and Co. raised is/was the truth! The court I am sure will address all of them in due course. My problem is that a case of this magnitude should have been better handled! Thirdly, you've raised numerous issues regarding NASA's petition and if I may just respond to a few, I'd like to talk about the controversial 5 million votes. Our registered voters were 19 million and about 15 millon voted. That's about 78% which is within the norm considering that 85% voted in 2013. My question is, what is the issue with the 5 million? Is it that 5 million voted when they shouldn't have or what is the issue here? The fact that Orengo raised it doesn't mean that there was an anomaly. I'll come to the 5 million in a short while. Now, with regard to the servers, I also fault the IEBC for not availing them on time and in the stipulated manner. This might have led to the judges rendering the verdict that they did. The IEBC should have complied anon and even followed up to ensure that everything that the court directed happened.They didn't! Now, it is not lost on anyone that the court absolved the president and his running mate totally! The question then remains, why would the IEBC mess it up or 'RIG' it for UHURUTO? For what purpose? That is the question that no one can answer. Now, with regard to the constitution a=s well as transmission of results, I think all those aer important but it is also equally important that the will of the people reigns. As I said, the judges put process and procedure [as well as the letter of the law] above substance [voting]! Now, if there was an anomaly in form 34 As and Bs, in my opinion, the remedy is not to 'throw the baby with the bath water'! If there was an algorith [again, this is NASA's allegation and it could be true], the remedy was NOT to throw the baby. If there was a disaprity between form 34As and Bs, again the remedy was not to do what the court did. You put it very well when you said that Kenyans voted peacefully adn that the shenanigans started at teh point of counting and tabulation of votes! Voila! If that were teh case, and let me also bring in the issue of the 5 million votes that I said I'd address ina short while, then, there is/was a way of verifying WHAT THE VOTER SAID ON AUGUST 8, 2017! The SC should have ordered a review of each and every ballot and then, order a recount! It breaks no bone. This is the most basic thing a court can do with regard to an election petition and that is why those who are opposed to the court's ruling have an issue. The court took into account virtually everything before it but ordering a recount! In all fairness, costitutin or no constitution, transmission is just that, TRANSMISSION! In all fairness, constitution or no constitution, forms 34As and Bs are just that, FORMS 34 AS AND BS! Forms 34 are NOT the initial step in an election. The initial step is the ballot! so, with a recount, any anomaly with regard to any of the forms be they the 40883 form 34As or 290 form 34Bs could have been identified and THE TRUTH ESTABLISHED! It is the people who are supreme adn all power , including the constitution, emanates from the people. The people are king. No wonder, two justices Ndung'u and Ojwang dissented! Ojwang was categorical tht that case should never have been before court! i hope I am right on this. As a matter of fact, the two justices explained their dissenting votes more vividly than the other four who tossed the election out! finally qiniso, Can you guarantee that the next election will be flawless WITH REGARD TO TRANSMISSION AND THE BEAMING OF RESULTS ON THE SCREENS? Qiniso, Can you guarantee that all the 40884 people will sign( the) forms 34A? Can you guarantee that the election will be conducted according to the dictates of the constitution to the letter? I ask this because the court set the bar too low.............with regard to what could lead to an annullment of an election. The threshold the SC set is so low that even a malicious returning officer could sabotage an election just because the results are not what he expected. Then, the said man can use that as grounds to have one of the candidates petition the election in court. Remember, the bar has been set too low by this court which argues that votes adn voters' voices don't matter. It is teh letter of the law that matters. This was a bogus judgement and frankly, as I said, I truly hope no one uses it as case law either in the commonwealth or beyond! You can never have a perfect election. As we speak, the US election and the Russia hacking thing is still unravelling! I truly hope that once we hold our election in a month's time, no one goes to court because we have better things to do than go to court! Finally, if Magara had ordered a recount, he'd have lent a lot of credence to the judgement but just throwing an election over forms? Right now, NASA doesn't want the IEBC as currently constituted. By the way, who used Chebukati's password and to what end? That is why the calls for a recount are getting louder. Without a recount, Maraga miscarried justice!
PPL is a true definition of an African child on an African soil,he speaks with authority and from an informed point of view. LONG LIVE AFRICAN UNITY AWAITS US.
And I ask my fellow Kenyan....Why are sinking into debt when we are surrounded by the abundance of the ocean and the lakes, the ever flowing rivers cutting across the country, the oil found in the northern part of our country, the coffee and tea, magadi, the gemstones and the lot? Why oh why do we run to beg when God has given us all these?

The oppressors won't like him and that's why Africa need to have our Nobel prize 🏆.
The greatest, thinker and lecturer of our time. PLO Lumumba, I salute you for your brave and tireless effort to liberate our continent. I have learned so much from your lectures, and I pray that God will grant you a long life so you can continue teaching and inspiring us.
Like Tiro, this types don't care about long life. prepare to take the "torch."
Prof PLO LUMUMBA is a great inspiration speaker. His speech today in Namibia left a lot with knowledge. He is a subject of success and influential key note speaker. Thanks for your speech Grotman
As an outsider I can tell Afrika that Afro People as whole have such great qualities that no other people or continents have. I not only observe ur speakers, the sheer excellence of their speeches, but I also observe the sheer excellence of the listeners who digest each & every word in rapt attention & respond so well to what is being said. It proves that Afrika has the quality to rise to the No.1 spot in the Comity of Nations because Afros are undoubtably the Children of the Greatest God for our planet... Time will prove me right...

The Great Historian and Philosopher and Freedom fighter of Kenya, Africa of our time. ...Prof Plo Patrick Lumumba. ..
Following from U.A.E
This man is a jewel of Africa. It amazes me how can he remembers all names and all the history of Africa.All my respect Mr. Lumumba.
Professor Lumumba, although I have only a couple of weeks heard of you and listening to your messages and speeches have realized my history. I’ve been on a full throttle search for the pass four years after a three week stay in London England. My journey actually started with another world view aside the one I have experience in the United States. The emptiness that clutches my very soul, wants and need to be filled with as much Africa history and status for the rest of my life. You are beyond amazing, I have much love and respect for Prof..Lumumba I don’t have the words to express how your speeches have impacted my mind and thinking. My life here in the USA has been 75 years of degradation, miseducation, biblical deception. My love is for my family, friends and the Creator GOD almighty, which one I’ll understand everything. I don’t want my life to end here. I want to come to Africa.
Welcome to Kenya
Kenya is alive and breathing life, a mix of everything and she is still going strong. Proudly Kenyan, blessing Kenya and praying for Kenya. Thank you prof. Lumumba and God bless Kenya as a whole. Amen!
Bless Afrika, not just Kenya.
Amen

@ Mthandeni Mncina, Nelson Makgakoa, Nyc Mkhondwane, you are better off listening to Malema or reading the writings of Bantu Biko than listening to this empty suit.
Qiniso Truth No matter what you say, I think he has a better eloquence and articulation of words than you and your family combined.. So just shut up and go back to school, until you have a Prof prefix in your name, then you can have scholars sitting down taking notes as they listen to you speak.
@ Samuel Kimani. You are entitled to your own opinion but I'll have you know, I had the privilledge to learn the law under the tutelage of some of the most erudite legal minds in the UK. My Public Law Lecturer (Constitutional and Admnistrative law) was and remains one of the best in his field. He had a fantastic grasp of the law, history and politics, coupled with a simple delivery, he married all these skills beautifully to our great benefit. He was the genuine article subsequently, I can tell a charlatan from a mile off. PLO is a charlatan and a verbose one for that matter. I highly doubt if you held him in high esteem prior to the recent election case in which he represented the IEBC. Now, that Fred Ngatia, first class! Top banana. PLO? Rubbish! To you, I suggest you work on your grammar before you embark on policing others. Good day!
I wish if the African leaders, and citizens of the African countries would understand what PLO Lumumba is preaching over Africans. Does the multiple party system introduced to the African countries meant to split African?Watch out.
even Jesus was rejected by his own pple.so is Lumumba.he is a great a great man
Jesus was a messenger of Allah
He was rejected as you rejected our last masenger Mohamed P.U.H.
i was present... i got to say the thought provoking questions he addresses filled the atmosphere with so much emotion..the whole hall was so attentive
The best of the best prof's. What a great lecture, may God bless you in abundance Prof LMO Lumumba.
One most important thing about PLO is that he hardly reads any speech, he speaks from the heart💙
Yeah no notes like Europeans because it come From his interself (Nalf) soul honesty.
Exactly like President Obama
Wonderful speech
This lecture should be watch by South Africans of ALL races & political persuations ! It is one of the most observantly astute, lectures I have listened to in ages ! This guy has hit a host of nails squarely on the head. But I guess, not many will watch this & then they will continue to scratch their heads & continue to moan about the "State of South Africa" & do nothing to try to positively change it. It is for those, that I weep in frustration !
John Knottenbelt ...He vehemently defended theft , impunity and evil in Kenya ...so let him repent first
Tobrok Wa Mike He didn't actually. He was head of the anti corruption committee and they threw him out as they couldn't pay him out. You will find that the people who claim he defended theft are those who are against him defending the electoral and boundaries commission on their recent Supreme Court case and if you have any basic knowledge of the lawyer, you'll appreciate that everyone has a right to fair representation.
Also, you don't ignore someone's message simply because you don't agree with his actions on something totally unrelated.
GG you are right..
Well said. His defence was of the IEBC as a body not the status quo of corruption , killing and bulying.
Talking about tiroooooo
one of my great leaders in africa...but what amazes me, is his memory of everything his is speaking about today, he even remembers the late tiros years etc...very intelligent of course

Prof. Lumumba has always fascinated me with his great wit and the colorful use of vocabularies to keep his audience at the edge of their seats. His speeches will remain some of the oratorical coup-de-maître in the annals of history.
It's a privilege and an honour to live in the same period as this great orator. There will not be another like him, for generations. I have great hope for Africa with man like him holding the torch up high for us and for future generations to see the way ahead.
Hate him or love him, PLO's got what we all don't have, and that's the reason of why we are all on the other side of TH-cam, commenting and criticising... instead of being listened to by African scholars.

@@macksonjuma5180 rßrss
I was watching him live at our beautiful university of Limpopo, I salute this man n even his shadow. Prof PLO LUMUMBA is a pain killer always. what i have realised in life people who grew up with you will never praises you because of jealous
Wena Sazini Sibiya, jealousy has got nothing to do with it. To claim that Kenyans are averse to PLO because of envy is akin to saying that people don't like Zuma out of jealousy. You need to read up on the history of this man to understand why Kenyans are unimpressed with him. Very few Kenyans understand the Black Consciousness Movement or even comprehend that there were other parties such as PAC or AZAPO who played a huge role in shaping the struggle discourse in South Africa. I really don't think PLO even quite understands what Tiro and Azapo stood for. I don't know who thought it fit to ask him to speak on Ongkopotse Tiro, he is not fit to utter Tiro's name.
@sazini you nailed it .the problem specially with us Kenyans is jealousy .we hardly recognise our leaders .we only recognise a bunch of false leaders whose parents were accomplices and colonial collaborators and is these same so called leaders who head our political parties and own everything in kenya and indeed their assault dogs are the ones you see on this page villifying prof lumumba.
Prof you are the Man of the people, the light of Africa, the leader in peoples' mind.
Bravo
This Man is the pride of not only Kenya but indeed Africa as a whole! Watching from Nigeria.
PLO'S is am impeccable orator,he's one of great African speaker. I love his speeches that tend to enlighten not only his ancestoral brothers but also across the continent. kudos
Africa is still controlled on all fronts. Only the brave can talk about it like prof Lumumba.
I've never come across this man's speeches until recently not more than two weeks. This is thw kind of people we want who can speak the truth without fear, who can move the minds of our today's youth towards rightful thinking by reminding them their history, enlightening them about the present, and putting them on the right track for better tomorrow. Kudos to you prof. It gliding my heart to listen when you speak.
It is my first time to listen to the man, he is indeed an African Icon, today I have listened to more than 5 speeches delivered by this great man and I wondered how could African Leaders be failing Africans while there are just a call away from a man like Prof. Lumumba who could give them direction and advise . This man is great, he is what Africa needs.
How i wish i was there to listen to the political intelligence this man posses. PLO we thank you for the constant African education you always deliver to us through your speeches.
Education has been around in Africa. All we need is action.
I Agree and it is in most of the time undermined, hence we lack it. So this man whenever he speaks he educates you about the African Politics, African Leadership, African Problems, African Socio economic Issues etc. Something our own colonized education does not teach us. I agree with you 100% when you say we need Action and the unfortunate part of that is we need Action from Politically hygiene, corruption free leaders of our society at large.
@ Edmond Motanya. If you
PLO hasn't got a clue of the dynamics of South African politics that is why he has got nothing new, original or radical to add to the discourse. Goodness gracious the man can't even sloganise properly, when one says "Mayibuye.... iAfrica" x2 and the crowd responds, s/he must then turn around and say "iAfrica... Mayibuye" x2. And to refer to Lesotho as LesoTHO, for heavens sake the H is silent...one says LESUTU. I can bet you he refers to the people of Botswana as Botswanians as opposed to Tswanas. Bloody ignorant African.
Whoever invited PLO to speak failed to vet him. This here PLO is nothing but charlatan. Not an original thought in sight. Trots out the same speech over and over again, the only difference is when he is in Ghana he will name check Nkurumah, in Tanzania he will name check Mwalimu and in South Africa he name checked the usual ANC suspects with the exception of Biko, Sobukwe and Tiro. Tiro was not ANC he was AZAPO. AZAPO and the PAC consisted of some the brilliant minds in the South African struggle. They were the backbone of the Black Consciousness Movement. Way back in the 60s and 70s they foretold of the malaise that would beset South Africa if the Revolutinary Movement did not uproot the status quo. Fact. In the 90s, the ANC sold out South Africans at CODESA. Those in the nous said so then and now they are being vindicated. PLOS speech has done nothing to improve the discourse as pertains South Africa then and South Africa now.
If you are looking to be educated on African Politics, African Leadership, African Problems and African Socio Economic issues then I suggest you start by reading Steve Biko's 'I Write What I Like' and Thomas Sankara's 'Sankara Speaks'. Although these were written decades ago, the messages remain relevant to this day, for what ails Arica remains the same, then and now.
@Qiniso Truth. I appreciate the fact that you speak solution to a problem. Most of PLO's speeches are about corruption and the the true reality of Africa's shortfall, the malfunctions of the continent itself. I See his speeches as more of a moral consciousness tool, education to my Black African soul.
@Qiniso Truth there is a saying that says there are two sides to a man, the bad and the good, all you can do is to take the good out of him. So i do not think its of good deed to discredit him based on his pronunciation the words you quoted above, i am sure you would agree with me if i say i would also struggle to pronounce most of East Africa indigenous words as oppose to my own in my Land. At Home here, Zulu can pronounce the name of the province i come from "Limpopo" so it is a deficiency we most suffer the point however is to get the massage across, so if a Zulu man come to me and say;"i want to go to Limpompo" my unconsciously without even rep reminding my mind i know his referring to my homeland. So Take the Good out of the man and leave the bad things to himself. With the good you will educate yourself.
Lastly, Thank you very much for the African literature you have cited as recommendations, i do have Steve Biko's "I write what i like" i will look for Thomas Sankara's "Sankara Speaks".

stixkubwa...You are entitled to an opinion...talk to Kenyans ..They experience this man everyday .You may keep or change your mind
Tobrok Wa Mike Many thanks. I know of him well. He provokes positives and negatives in Kenyans. Talk to Kenyans? Be.more concerned about lap tops, be more concerned about IDPs since 2007-2008, be concerned about the PEV of 2007, be concernec how from the beginning Kenya corruption defeated the ICC with winess intimidation and non cooperation with from state organisations, be concerned about land grabbing, be concerned about poverty and poor health care, be concerned about Turkana....it goes on. Give me PLO any day as compared to the post colonial political elite who carve it up amongst themselves year in year out. Talk to Kenyans!. Nah. I know Kenya.
Stikskubwa, I'd rather someone read Bantu iko's ' I Write What I Like' than listen to this schill. Even Malema has more integrity than this charlatan. His tenure as Chairman at the anti-corruption unit turned out to be a huge mess, all because he was foolish enough to accept contributions ( for his foundation) from the very people he was supposed to be investigating. Talk about conflict of his interest. He was turfed out so fast. Sadly the drama he created only served to put back the anti-graft fight in Kenya.
He then goes on to defend the IEBC? If he really believes in democracy, in the Rule of Law, he should have recused himself. His arguments were completely lacking in substance, it was clear that he could not find any law to marry to the facts in hand so he just went about wittering on in that verbose way of his. Any good law will tell you that a strong legal argument is one that marries the FACTS to the LAW. The facts of the case were hot mess there is no way, they could be tied to any law. Thank God for the God fearing astute Supreme Court bench. They managed to sift the wheat from the chaff and handed down a stellar ruling.
PLO showed his ass and he will never again have good standing before any right thinking Kenyan or Pan-Africanist. End of!
Qiniso Truth .Speak of the PEV.Speak of the IDPs.Speak of rampant corruption. Speak of where Kenya stands in the league table of corrupt nations. Speak of nepotism. Speak of massive national debt. Speak of rife national poverty. Speak of tribal manipulation for political ends. Speak of the killing of the IEBC IT official. Speak of filthy rich politicians who have fleeced the country. PLO telling as it is and the corrupt do not like it. The surprise is that he is still with us unlike others who have perished....... He is a lawyer and entitled to earn his living defending who he pleases. It is a principle of judicial democracy.
@ Stixkubwa. Indeed, Kenya is guilty of that plus more. Thing is, PLO purports to speak up against these things and then you find him in bed with some of those very same corrupt individuals he is harping on about. Sanitise this! Sanitise that! His call for African gorvenments to sanitise themselves now amounts to nothing. Indeed as a lawyer, the 'kerb rank rule' stipulates that a lawyer is expected to represent whoever knocks on his door, by the same token, under the LEGAL ETHICS allow for a lawyer to decline to take on a case if s/he feels they cannot adequately represent the client. PLO opted to represent the IEBC, based on this, I believe it is correct to say that PLO took this recent case because he felt that the IEBC case had a merit (s). And therein lies the problem! I cannot for the life of me see how a genuine Pan- Africanist could do what PLO did. His actions illustrate that this is a man who is not afraid to speak from both ends of his mouth. Africanists like Tiro or Biko or Sobukwe would never have fixed their mouths to defend the very system that oppressed them, so how can PLO defend IEBC and by extension, Jubilee? He has shown his true colours and rest assured, Kenyans will never forget!

Especially an International Media House for Africa, and by Africa to educate Africa, support African businesses, culture......... and so on.
Prof. Lumumba please do and it will be wonderful. Thank you. Blessings
He is a genius .but we Africans we like to be lend by the bad boys.Here in Kenya the corrupt dont give him any space
Great lecture by our great african speaker
He is inspirational and knowledgeable. i would have loved for him to delve deeply into other vital revelations but i understand the censorship is great, having a great hold plus the consequence especially from the disloyal and the sell-out leaders.

Superb Elder, may you live long to awaken us all.
Thank you Senior..
As a kenyan ,we proud of you such a rare gem

Fair deal is the key. Keep up the deal Africans

A very relevant and a moving speech by PLO not only to S.Africans but to the entire Africa as a continent.Truly soldiers never die.If contents of Brain of a human being could be copied and pasted then i would burn my midnight oil to upload the contents of this learned Prof. into mine. A great Historian and Orator. Live long Professor.
African gem, his words will live on for future generations .....
Who don't like him just jealous to smart for them
All young people should listen to these speech. It has alot of history worthy knowing. Wish professor Lumumba could give me 1% of his brain. But the truth is, not possible. May be his children through genetic allocation. However, probably through EXTRA hard work anybody can try and become. Thank you professor. From this speech I have learnt alot I dint know inspite of being 9yrs your senior. Congrats.
May God continue blessing this man, am humbled.
I have been watching speeches by PLO Lumumba, and was very impressed and considered him as the only great African SPEAKER who could tell the truth, democrat, Loyal and non-corrupt. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED WHEN I SAW HIM PARTICIPATING IN KILLING DEMOCRACY IN HIS OWN COUNTRY KENYA. This is a great SPEAKER than others who is talented in speech making but doing contrary to what he speaks. If truly he means what he speaks, let him apologise to Kenyans. Since I saw him killing DEMOCRACY in court I started hating him like I do hate other hypocrites who are everywhere in Africa.
I think that was the biggest mistake he ever made. He should hv kept quite and distance himself.
@AAbas Mohammed, on the one hand I am appalleed he took th ecase, on the other hand I am elated that the world can finally see him for what he is, an empty suit!
There's no democracy in Kenya. Which world do you live in.
@ Mandla Makhedama? No democracy in Kenya? None whatsoever? Really?
There's no democracy in Kenya.
The greatest African thinker ever!
Prof we thank you very much.. you changed our university of limpopo into something better
thabiso ngwaketse At least he did something good to you guys! Kenyans try hard to hate him
We don't try-hard. The hypocrisy in him makes it all easy for us. Just because he spits some Martin Lurther shit, that doesn't make him worth of anybody's respect. Not if he can't walk the talk. The guy talks so much, and too good. But will defend the vile most thing on earth if paid a few millions. The likes of Martin Lurther and Martin Lutherat least stood for what they preached, this one has NO stand of his own. If anything that's some wikipedia shit he's spitting. Nothing serious. I'll be sleeping the whole time if he happens to be the speaker in a convention I have attended. Then pick out a few keywords and run them on Google and I'll be equally knowledgeable. AMF, that's all he did the night before this speech..
@ F Nino. You ain't NEVA lied!!!! Anyone familiar with the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa can easily tell this man didn't have a clue about Ongkopotse Tiro, AZAPO or what they stood for. He is an intellectual dwarf who offers nothing new to the Pan-Africanist discourse. I would have turned a blind eye to his shenanigans until he turned up in the Supreme Court clutching his 30 pieces of silver in hand and sprouting anecdotes with the intention to subvert the Rule of Law. Poor excuse of a human being he is.
U baru
If this guy doesn't speak sense to you, you probably don't have sense at all
Seamus in Horizontal Orange take a chill pill bro. You don't have to agree with him. However, he was invited and you were not. Try and make yourself relevant. Perhaps more than him.
Killing democracy in kenya and preaching freedom to the rest of Africa. Too hypocritical.
What garbage are you trying to sell to SA #Ricky Silas?
Richard Kagu Nothing but the Truth. Truth hurts but it always comes out in broad daylight and before the entire world. You do know that 2.
Seamus in Horizontal Orange I think you should heed Yamusa's advice: try and make yourself relevant! And oh, did you say you sympathize TO...? Please go get yourself educated.
Great knowledge.. great lecture. Appreciated Prof
Kenyan version of Martin Luther king. so inspiring !
I like this man!
The African version of MLK
Dont you dare compare this great man to Martin Luther King. How dare you. This man is remarkable

This is a high level of critical consciousness. Well done Professor Lumumba
I'm so proud of the professor he has inspired me everyday. I share and believe in his vision.
I have a very deep sense of respect and honour of this man. He is not only a mentor but also a Father figure of liberation in Africa
I like listening to always especially e\when in TV interviews. Take your stand sir. I appreciate you.
Prof. Lumumba is appreciated in every corner of Africa because of inspirational teachings. I think through his teachings African Leaders are required to learn so that our nations will move forward economically. We all believe that our colonial masters granted our nations political FREEDOM not ECONOMIC FREEDOM as we are still suffering from Neo colonialism from both capitalist and socialist persipectives. Why civil wars in Somalia, Nigeria, DRC and south Sudan? Prof. Teach African Leaders to stop disobedience in constitutions, teach them to trust other that they can lead their Nations, teach them to stop accumulating their national resources for their benefits and not for their people and their nations. History should lead our leaders to change and mould the future of our Africa. God bless that man!
I always cry for this man speech may God give you long live for you to see Africa freedom
Bro I've been following you relentlessly, and allows me to be more convinced that ' society is a dangerous 'norn', therefore I refuse to be normal. Thanks for your continual assistance.

This lecture should have been a National Memorial Lecture!!!!
Exactly I love him much more
There is a word that says "no one is perfect" but on my opinion this wonderful man might be perfect in speeches and actions. Love him so much. ..! Keep on opening the eyes of my Africans. .. Thanks! !
Superior logic, one of Africa's blessings 👊🏾✊🏾👊🏾 PLO professor P. Lumumba 🤟🏾
My real and my soul's adorable model ever since and then.
may the Almighty God keep you Prof. Lumumba
It's pity most Kenyans don't celebrate Prof PLO LUMUMBA.....Long live prof.You're such an inspiration to millions of African people
what an honour to have been in the mist of UL varsity when the man spoke today...this man is an intellectual and trust you me, what he said "South Africa will apologise indeed the day when History is well written to the Former President Thabo Mbeki that he should have stayed.." indeed today South Africa regrets and i also Do!
No he is wrong about Mbeki, Mbeki had to go, we could not change the Constitution because of him, thats how a dicatorship starts. The only thing that was wrong was to recall him in September 2008 before his termed finished in April of 2009.
You seem to be making a mistake about the term of ANC president and that of the country.
A great speaker, whose voice beams over Africa and beyond.
Have you guys noticed that Kenyans are Here to set their strong Example of Tribal division practice in kenya, Strong behavior of The Neocolonialism Project.
The Job of a Lawyer is not to judge, but to provide a material witness and evidence base practice to the court for the court to decide.
The true winner will come out when the next election in kenya is repeated.
SuperKwame1. Much as the 'Kerb Rank'stipulates that a lawyer must take whatever brief that comes across his desk, LEGAL ETHICS ( small topic covered in 2 hours in law school- 1 hr lecture, 1 hr seminar) allows for a lawyer to recuse himself from a case if he feels that for whatever reason s/he cannot adequately represent the client. PLO spends substantial amount of his time going on about how African democracies need to pull up their socks. The recent election case in the Kenyan Supreme Court was a seminal moment and PLO by choice somehow managed to find himself on the wrong side of history.
Qiniso Truth,
Please do not sweat about it too much.
On 17th October, 2017 , we will hold the fresh election that the Supreme court ordered.
President Uhuru Kenyatta will win it again because he won the first one on 8/8/2017.
he was robbed off victory by our activist Supreme Court.
That judgement was bogus at best and legal banditry at worst.
President Kenyatta referred to the judges as 'wakora' [thugs]. That is exactly what they were.
Sample this MR. Truth,
The world over, elections are about numbers and votes. When we voted, the difference between the legitimate winner, Kenyatta, and the loser, Odinga, was 1.4 million votes.
Mr.Odinga petitioned the election in court NOT ON THE BASIS OF VOGTES, but on the basis of how the votes were transmitted.
In other words, he petitioned not on votes, but on how the votes were transported and reported.
INhis petition, Mr. Odinga never questioned the presidents 8.2 million votes.
He never even disputed his own 6.7 or so million votes by alleging that he could have got more.
He never disputed a single vote for Uhuru Kenyatta.
He never questioned the margin (the 1.4 million votes).
NO!
He 'disptuted' the transmission.
In other words, the infrastructure.
What was being transmitted were VOTES and nothing more, nothing less!
It is THE VOTES that were being transmitted!
The correct votes were transmitted but then , there were some logistical issues like unsigned forms because some returning officers didn't sign the forms (and most of these were in Raila's stronghold).
It's even been said that it was sabotage on Raila's side in order to reject the election which he probably knew he was going to lose.
In some instances, where forms were to be scanned and then sent, the scanners and coyping machines broke down!
There was NO HACKING of the electronic election manangement system and even the manufacturere, theFrench company said as much.
There was no culpability on the part of the third respondent, in this case Mr. President.
Mr. President did no wrong!
that is according to the Supreme court.
The person on the wrong was Prof. Lumumba's client; the IEBC (electoral commission).
Now, my question is, how can the court overturn an election due to the way results were transmitted?
Why punish the voter?
Why punish the country?
Why punish Uhuru?
This court is an embarrassment!
It put process adn procedure over and above substance and in this case, substance was the votes!
The court didn't even order an examination of all the ballots as well as a recount yet, that is within its purview!
....adn by the way, Uhuru had no business asking for a recount!
He won!
Winners never ask for a recount!
It is the loser who asks for the recount but in this case, he never did because he knew that he had lost.
The KIEMS kit (Kenya integrated elections management System is foul proof!
Kenya conducted the best election Africa has ever had!
Transmission or no transmission (what is transmission by the way) , Kenya conducted the most credible election on African soil and Uhuru won hands down and he will WIN AGAIN!
The supreme court disgraced itself.
The precedent set by the supreme court is so low that if a returning officer refuses to sign a form from a given constituency (which is part of transmission), then, following its own precedent, the Supreme court can nullify the repeat election again!
....and again and again and again!
No election is perfect but the retarded SC of Kenya ruled that elections have to be perfect in the way votes or results are transmitted and reported.
they may not have used the exact words but that is how it ruled!
This court is a den of iniquity.
'finally, Lumumba did a great job at the bogus supreme court. the odds were stacked against his IEBC and the president.
There is nothing any reasonable man could have done were he in the shoes of Lumumba or the presidents lawyers.
This was a travesty of justice and I truly hope no one uses it as case law either in Africa or anywhre else in the world.
I am embarrassed by our SC.
@ Natiive son. Before I proceed, I'd like to make it known that the correct mode of address should MADAME Truth. Back to the issues at hand. According to the law (The Constitution) and previous judicial decisions, in order to access the validity of the election results, the following things were going to be assessedd;
a) voting
b) electronic transmission of results (by image and text to tallying centre)
c) the display of results in a public portal that is accountable, verifiable and accurate.
*The aforementioned standards determine whether or not results meet the constitutional threshold.*
Kenyans queued and voted peacefully. The shenanigans began and escalated at the point of counting and tabulating the votes. At which point the mode of transmission was brought into question. I don't know whether it is lack of comprehension on your part, or whether you are just hell bent on spinning a pack of lies. Understand this, *the issue was not the infrastructure per se, the issue was the information (NUMBERS) that was fed into the electronic facility and then transmitted!*
NASA went to court and successfully argued that the numbers were not adding up. In regards to the numbers, Nasa argued that
a) an algorithm had been fed into the server such that once Raila's votes were fed into the system, Uhuru's votes automatically increased by 11%! This was demonstrated by the fact that when tabulated on a graph, Uhuru's votes increased in a straight line. Anyone who is familiar with statistics knows that in an event such as an election, it is highly unlikely for results to pan out in a straight line.
b) Still on the issue of numbers, it was established that almost 0.5 Million people went to the polling station and voted in the Presidential elections alone. They did not bother for other representatives. On examination of the results, it was found that votes cast in the presidential election (15,588,038) far exceeded those for Governors (15,098,646) and Members of the National Assembly (15,008,818) by 482,202 and 567,517 ballots respectively. How can one go to the polling station and not vote for a Gorvenor/ MP/ Senator/ MCAs/ Women's Rep? Very odd! Uhuru was the actual beneficiary.
Any right thinking person can straight away tell that the number of people involved in this anomaly was too high, too high, such that it cannot be easily passed off as a coincidence. The law of probabilities stipulates that there is no way the difference between the Presidential elections and Guberbatorial elections as well as the Presidential elections and MCA elections would amount to almost roughly the same figure. When pressed, the IEBC lawyers tried to argue that the other 5 ballots may have been cast in the wrong box, what is known as 'stray votes'. Coincidence? I think not.
When pressed, IEBC papers admitted that IEBC could'nt account for the stray BALLOT PAPERS!
At one point, IEBC lawyers argued that the 0.5 M votes could be mainly attributed to prisoners and diaspora votes. *NASA argued that these two groups could not make up 0.5 million.* because only the Kenyans based in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and S. Africa were allowed to vote.* *As of March 2017 it was established that only 1,500 in the diaspora were registered to vote*. The prison numbers were even lower, for example, only 7 prisoners in the notorious Manyani prison registered to vote. Again, probability dictatesthere is no way, diasporians and prisoners were going to vote for Uhuru lock and stock!
*Bottom line, once you add up the numbers of all the prisoners and diasporians eligible to vote, the figure does not add up to 0.5 Million!* Red Flag!! In simple English, there was just no way to account for 0.5 Million votes that Uhuru is alleged to have received!
c) Nasa had some copies of the original Forms 34A and Forms 34B. They went on to argue that the results on some Forms 34A did not match the results on Forms 34B. There were many instances where, it was clear that by the time the results were being transferred to the Form 34B, Raila's results were being deducted, whilts Uhuru's results were being bumped up! There were 40, 483 polling stations i. When you add all those extra votes Uhuru got and you begin to understand the gravity of the matter.
The Supreme Court didn't just sit there and take NASA's word for it, instead they asked for the digital footprint. They asked IEBC to open the servers so that they (and by extension the world) would see the forms that had been scanned, transmitted and logged/filed into the database. The digital records would have been enough to ascertain whether the tranmitted information that was correct! Hence the issue of transmission! I repeat the issue is not the technology, the issue is the records that went into the computers!
When the Court requested access, IEBC and Jubilee lawyers weren't happy. They argued that granting access to the server would leave the system open to tampering.
The Supreme Court then went on to instruct IEBC to provide 'READ ONLY' access but IEBC (egged on by Jubilee lawyers) refused to comply. Limited 'READ ONLY' access was finally granted very late in the day. If Uhuru won, then his representatives should have been extremely keen to provide the digital footprint showing the numbers! Instead they made it nigh on impossible for the Court Registrar and Court IT experts to access the digital footprint. As the matter stands, IEBC are still in contempt of the court order. The days of impunity are over and heads will roll. Somebody within the IEBC better start singing like a canary in order to secure a plea bargain.
But I digress. When the servers were opened, the Court Registrar established a host of anomalies which confirmed that all was not well. For example, there were missing Forms 34A and Forms 34B; results from certain polling stations were missing. Even worse, a new password had been created for the IEBC Chairman Chebukati, this password was then used to gain access to the server 9,934 times! It has now come to light that this new password was created without Chebukati's knowledge.
It's important to know why the fake Chebukkati logged in. The only way to find out is open the servers, but that is not going to happen. Uhuru would much rather lambast the Supreme Court who are trying to help him confirm his win, than lambast IEBC for messing up his win, How odd!
You've gone on to state that NASA/Orengo/Raila never argued about the numbers. You're wrong, Orengo said that when all the factors are taken into consideration, one cannot account for upto FIVE MILLION VOTES. And yet here you are talking about Uhuru won by 1.4 million votes.
c) Numbers aside, NASA further argued that several irregularities had taken place. * By the time the matter went to court, they had examined over 25,000 vote declaration forms and detected errors in 14,000 of the forms*. The errors ranged from inter alia, unsigned documents, or the name of * one presiding officer being shown as the official in charge of elections in multiple stations at the same time*.
NASA officials found 443 instances of ungazetted polling stations, election results forms that had been filled out in the same handwriting, and forms that have a polling station, names and details of agents as well as their signatures but were blank in spaces meant to show results.
NASA argued there was chickenary galore, Forms 34A, 34B did not have security features. For example, some forms did not have the watermark signs, some did not have serial numbers, some did not have barcodes and those that had barcodes, the barcodes were not tied to any polling stations in Kenya, instead they were tied to various places overseas! Such was the chutzpah some Jubilee returning officer actually scanned in results written on an exercise book paper.
Muite tried to argue that there is no legal requirement for forms to bear security. The Bench saw right through that argument.
d) By the time of announcing the Presidentialresults, Chebukati purported his numbers to be final. This suggested he had received all the tallies from all the polling stations. According to Nasa, by the time Chebukati made this announcement *he did not have documents for 11,883 polling stations.* So how exactly did IEBC know that Uhuru had won?
Based on this, the bench decided that the elections were null and void because requirement b) electronic transmission of results (by image and text to tallying centre) and c) the display of results in a public portal that is accountable, verifiable and accurate had not been met!
If Uhuru claims that he won the elections, then he should direct his ire at the IEBC. It was the IEBC's responsibility to ensure that requirement b and c were met. If Uhuru is confident that he has the numbers, then he should have been furious with the wakoras at IEBC who refused to open the servers so that his lawyers could use the digital foot print to demonstrate his win.
The Supreme Court has set a new precedent that the world over stands to benefit from. They have established that the PROCESS counts. It's not just important for the mwananchi to queue peacefully for hours on end in order to cast his/her vote. It's important to ensure that each vote is properly counted and accounted for. Unlike in Stalin's Russia, in Kenya, not only do those who vote matter, those who count the vote matter as well!!! Those who count the vote have a responsibility to ensure the numbers tally!
The culprit isn't the Supreme Court or NASA. The culprit may well be IEBC but truth be told, IEBC did not stand to gain anything from this mess, Uhuru & Ruto did. The operation was large scale, there is no way Raila would have succesfully bungled up the elections in such a short space of time. As we speak, Chebukati's memo has revealed even more anomalie; the GPRS for the KIEMS kits were switched off. Satelite phones weren't distributed. The list is long and endless.
Qiniso,
very well put.
First of all, let me apologise for mistaking you for a dude. This is the first time I am coming across a name like yours. Pole.
Secondly, the MAIN problem with the court's ruling [THERE WERE SEVERAL] is the short judgement it rendered.
Now, I do understand that time was of the essence but most of the evidence that formed the court's opinion was not delivered and normally, this creates a vacuum which breeds rumours allegations and assertions.
It does not mean that everything that Orengo and Co. raised is/was the truth!
The court I am sure will address all of them in due course.
My problem is that a case of this magnitude should have been better handled!
Thirdly, you've raised numerous issues regarding NASA's petition and if I may just respond to a few, I'd like to talk about the controversial 5 million votes.
Our registered voters were 19 million and about 15 millon voted. That's about 78% which is within the norm considering that 85% voted in 2013.
My question is, what is the issue with the 5 million?
Is it that 5 million voted when they shouldn't have or what is the issue here?
The fact that Orengo raised it doesn't mean that there was an anomaly.
I'll come to the 5 million in a short while.
Now, with regard to the servers, I also fault the IEBC for not availing them on time and in the stipulated manner. This might have led to the judges rendering the verdict that they did.
The IEBC should have complied anon and even followed up to ensure that everything that the court directed happened.They didn't!
Now, it is not lost on anyone that the court absolved the president and his running mate totally!
The question then remains, why would the IEBC mess it up or 'RIG' it for UHURUTO?
For what purpose?
That is the question that no one can answer.
Now, with regard to the constitution a=s well as transmission of results, I think all those aer important but it is also equally important that the will of the people reigns.
As I said, the judges put process and procedure [as well as the letter of the law] above substance [voting]!
Now, if there was an anomaly in form 34 As and Bs, in my opinion, the remedy is not to 'throw the baby with the bath water'!
If there was an algorith [again, this is NASA's allegation and it could be true], the remedy was NOT to throw the baby.
If there was a disaprity between form 34As and Bs, again the remedy was not to do what the court did.
You put it very well when you said that Kenyans voted peacefully adn that the shenanigans started at teh point of counting and tabulation of votes!
Voila!
If that were teh case, and let me also bring in the issue of the 5 million votes that I said I'd address ina short while, then, there is/was a way of verifying WHAT THE VOTER SAID ON AUGUST 8, 2017!
The SC should have ordered a review of each and every ballot and then, order a recount!
It breaks no bone.
This is the most basic thing a court can do with regard to an election petition and that is why those who are opposed to the court's ruling have an issue.
The court took into account virtually everything before it but ordering a recount!
In all fairness, costitutin or no constitution, transmission is just that, TRANSMISSION!
In all fairness, constitution or no constitution, forms 34As and Bs are just that, FORMS 34 AS AND BS!
Forms 34 are NOT the initial step in an election. The initial step is the ballot!
so, with a recount, any anomaly with regard to any of the forms be they the 40883 form 34As or 290 form 34Bs could have been identified and THE TRUTH ESTABLISHED!
It is the people who are supreme adn all power , including the constitution, emanates from the people.
The people are king.
No wonder, two justices Ndung'u and Ojwang dissented!
Ojwang was categorical tht that case should never have been before court!
i hope I am right on this.
As a matter of fact, the two justices explained their dissenting votes more vividly than the other four who tossed the election out!
finally qiniso,
Can you guarantee that the next election will be flawless WITH REGARD TO TRANSMISSION AND THE BEAMING OF RESULTS ON THE SCREENS?
Qiniso,
Can you guarantee that all the 40884 people will sign( the) forms 34A?
Can you guarantee that the election will be conducted according to the dictates of the constitution to the letter?
I ask this because the court set the bar too low.............with regard to what could lead to an annullment of an election.
The threshold the SC set is so low that even a malicious returning officer could sabotage an election just because the results are not what he expected.
Then, the said man can use that as grounds to have one of the candidates petition the election in court.
Remember, the bar has been set too low by this court which argues that votes adn voters' voices don't matter. It is teh letter of the law that matters.
This was a bogus judgement and frankly, as I said, I truly hope no one uses it as case law either in the commonwealth or beyond!
You can never have a perfect election.
As we speak, the US election and the Russia hacking thing is still unravelling!
I truly hope that once we hold our election in a month's time, no one goes to court because we have better things to do than go to court!
Finally, if Magara had ordered a recount, he'd have lent a lot of credence to the judgement but just throwing an election over forms?
Right now, NASA doesn't want the IEBC as currently constituted.
By the way, who used Chebukati's password and to what end?
That is why the calls for a recount are getting louder.
Without a recount, Maraga miscarried justice!
I am Kenyan and you're dead right!

And I ask my fellow Kenyan....Why are sinking into debt when we are surrounded by the abundance of the ocean and the lakes, the ever flowing rivers cutting across the country, the oil found in the northern part of our country, the coffee and tea, magadi, the gemstones and the lot? Why oh why do we run to beg when God has given us all these?
Very briliant
We no longer after basic needs we want prestege we have become our own idols surrounded ourself with selfishness and greed and closed our door on the less previledged

amen
I always love listening to professor Lumumba because of the reality he speaks of.
But may you please some day make your way to my country Liberia.
This Man deserves to be the President of Africa!!!
