In their own words: What Raila Odinga's lawyers told Supreme Court

James Orengo

• This grievance that we place against you, the highest court in the land, is not just a conspiracy theory. It is not just any ordinary event if you looked at the evidence that is placed before you in totality.
• We invite you, my lordships and my ladies, to come to the conclusion that what happened on the 9^th of August and the subsequent events that followed on the 15^th of August mark a pattern of violations against the constitution
• Today we have something that has never happened in this country. That we have a commission that is divided right in the middle. That speaks to a dysfunctional constitutional body.
• Indeed the tower of Babel has been brought down by the appearance of two factions within the commission before your lordships and my ladies.
• There is evidence of interference, if not invasion, of the infrastructure and technology of the IEBC.
• If the total number of voters that take part in an election does not agree with the votes that are counted as votes cast, then it means the results of that election are not accurate, accountable and verifiable.
