[Denish Ochieng, Standard]IN SUMMARY Judge strikes out application for reopening of all the ballot boxesLaw and precedents have provided for specificity in application for scrutiny, says MajanjaFormer Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma suffered a blow after a court dismissed his application for a vote recount. High Court Judge David Majanja, in a five-minute ruling on Thursday, termed the application broad, vague and lacking specific terms. And Majanja said Ranguma counsel will have an opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses. The judge, however, ordered Ranguma to bear the cost of the dismissed application, while hinting that the results of KIEMS scrutiny will remain as provisional, as final results remain as recorded in the original forms 37A.
