Justice John Nyabuto in
his ruling said the petitioner did not prove beyond reasonable doubt his allegations to the court . The petitioner- Patrick
Mweu Musimba had asked the Court to nullify the August 9 Gubernatorial
results for the failure of KIEMS kit. But it found that the
commission tried its best by allowing manual voting and that failure
of the kit could not affect the outcome of the election.  

Justice Nyabuto also
dismissed the allegations of flawed procurement of KIEMS kit for lack of
prove.  and went on to deny the petitioner a prayer for scrutiny of votes,
citing waste of  judicial time thus finding it unnecessary.
