President Uhuru Kenyatta opened the 12th Parliament yesterday by warning against divisive politics, but NASA boycotted what they called an 'illegitimate' event, as did the Supreme Court. Uhuru and his supporters have been infuriated and abused the court but Kenyatta controlled himself before Parliament yesterday, saying he strongly disagreed with the Supreme Court. “It must be understood that the marked ballot represents more than technology, more than computer systems, or even where it was printed. Kenyatta told Parliament that no arm of the government should frustrate the sovereign will of Kenyans, referring to his apparent numerical victory. He told Parliament "Kenyans expect us to understand the weight of responsibility in living up to our oath, and having wisdom and clarity as we carry out our duties."
