Dear friends,
Since my last post about court challenges to the conduct and outcome of the Kenyan elections, the Supreme Court has begun to deal with the many applications put before it.
Several of the court's decisions have been around who has standing (right to appear in court on the issues) and whether certain applications/petitions were filed on time, etc.
On Monday, March 25, 2013, the Supreme Court ordered a recount of ballots cast at 22 polling stations before it rules on the validity of the recent elections which were held on March 4, 2013.
“The re-tally shall aim at establishing whether the number of votes cast
in each of these 22 polling stations exceeds the number of registered
voters,” Justice Smokin Wanjala said at a pretrial hearing today in
Nairobi.
The six judge panel of the Supreme Court has until Saturday March 30, 2013, to decide whether the President-Elect, Uhuru Kenyatta should be confirmed as the country's new President, or whether new elections should take place.
In other news, my friend Jonah's brother was injured in a motor bike accident in Kenya. Please keep this family in your prayers as they deal with this and other matters.

I prayed for healing for the young man injured in the motor bike accident and for the results of the Kenya election and court rulings to be the best for Kenya.
Thank you, Terra. May God bless you for your heart of kindness. xx
Praying, love you.
