After NGOs, Government clampdown on media likely

Two of Jubilee's apologists penned opinions last week that made interesting reading. From where I sit, their common denominator was the want of saying something than for saying something.

One of the narratives was woven around numbers that did not add up. First, Johnstone Sakaja wrote there were 40,833 polling centres across the country when the actual number was 40,883. In a pathetic attempt to justify the steady 11 per cent difference between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga during the August 8 vote count, Sakaja doggedly argued it was more probable than improbable to have that constant without demonstrating how it was scientifically possible.
