Opposition's parallel tallying centre would amount to an overkill

The past few months have seen a planned anti-IEBC campaign by the Opposition. It started with discrediting officials who after weeks of ‘Teargas Monday’ gave in to the demands and vacated office. Now, a new office is in place, but the stones being thrown at them are just as heavy. Last week, Kalonzo Musyoka suggested that NASA would run their parallel tallying centre in August.

To a bystander, it is the watchdog role the Opposition should be playing. In reality however, it is a well-planned propaganda campaign to delegitimise the outcomes of the 2017 election if it does not favour NASA.
