Okoa Kenya initiative was just a ploy

Was the Okoa referendum initiative designed and destined for failure? Why did the Okoa secretariat present the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) with hard copies when they knew that soft copies are ideal for verifying on a database? Why did IEBC apply a rigorous, well-documented verification process yet there is no referendum law?

IEBC worked judiciously, with an audit trail that seems to say: let’s meet in court if you are not happy with the outcome. CORD, on their part, managed the signature collection process in such a cavalier manner that it is not possible to know who actually were the petitioners.
