![| JKLive | Omtatah: From a Street Litigant to a Senator [Part 1]](/img/n.gif)
This guy is genius, i would not hesitate to give him my vote, if he goes for president seat
the kind of thinking we need in this country. People from Busia have one awesome trophy
There is no question. Okiya Omtata is well read and never stops studying the constitution and comparing it with other countries. Kudos
I'm getting the impression that he is getting better than a number of practising lawyers. Way better than the likes of Murkomen who claims to have a Master's Degree in Law.
Sv😅
Is it true he never studied law...seems to have a mastery in law
This regime has created the best environment to educate Kenyans about their responsibility in managing the country and that it doesn't end with the vote. I'm sure not many Kenyans even know that Article 1 clause 1 says "All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution." and clause 2 "The people may exercise their sovereign power either DIRECTLY or through democratically elected leaders " Civil education to teach these laws in an approachable way and not using jargon will allow interest to build as it is the heavy and latinized words used by lawyers and their folk which make it seem like a subject that can't be handled by the common mwananchi. Isikuwe about kuonyesha mmesoma tu. And somehow we also decided that the National anthem is just for interviews, sporting and official events??? those words mean something especially in Kiswahili, when we get lost behind political parties it is a reminder of what should be our priority. Lakini watu wangapi wanajua all stanzas? Rooting for your cause.
Kudos Omutata! God grant us ten more Omutatas to save our kenya in Jesus Name! Long life Omutata!
I love this guy.. Intelligent, informed, articulate.. all the good adjectives of a true kenyan body and soul and who wants true change !.. Kudos bwana
Your guest Okiya Omtata is highly intelligent and well informed about the law and the kenyan constitution. He has stated very ably what kenyan people and their leaders need to do sort out elections and public financial management for a better kenya. Kudos Bwana Senator.
This Omutata is a genius , am joining you soon once I come back to Kenya for that fight for election human manipulation. - Watching from Accra Ghana.
All Kenyans should give its flowers to this gentleman while he is still alive 🎉🎉
He is very eloquent and well educated
Nonsense.
@@rosemaryokoth8382
nonsense is what circulates in between your ears
Such brilliant and unbiased minds should be rewarded with roads/ streets/parks/ football stadia/rivers.......named after them when they are still alive!!!
Omtatah is the top most staid,astute, resolute patriotic and solemnly ingenious activist and politician in Kenya! He is simply clear; trouble-shooting every aspect of Kenya’s socio-economic and political engineering malfunctions . He is a perfectionist par excellence. His ideas are honestly objectionable, executable/implementable and constitutional. The let down is solely on the persons in power; and the general political will of the ruling elite. Kenyans need affirmative, radical and revolutionary change in all these matters.
Hats off, Okiya. With 10 individuals of his calibre, the Republic of Kenya will never be the same. If only the powers that be would listen to this voice of reason, heaven will Def be a place on earth 🌍. Cry my beloved 💞😍❤ Africa, you are bleeding so much. Poleni sana Continent yangu. NEGLIGENCE, INCOMPETENCE and SABOTAGE. What more can be said of Africa in general and Kenya in particular? 90% of the work done in parliament is USELESS 😢😂😢😮😅
Omtatah is right our elected leaders are not autonomous when it comes to making laws. They all agree and do everything their party leaders ask them to do. The truth is they never represent the people who elected them.
What a leader with passion for the nation and it's people, kudos Hon.
This is a 10/10 performance...Kudos Okiyah!
This man is very avast in the law of the country even senior lawyers fail to easily interpret the law like this man.
Okiya Omtata is a national asset
busia voters chose well..very well..leadership is about integrity and vision..i wish we kenyan voters had the foresight of voting in omkiya omtatas from mca to president..kenya would change in one year
He teied becoming Senator in Nairobi. I voted for him, and he lost badly.
We need better voter education so that voters can know to make better choices, and we can have more of this type of guy in governance.
And he didn't even study law in school, this gentleman is amazing
The man is intelligent and robust in the constitution. The man is brilliant. Eric nimejifunza mengi kwa huyu Mheshimiwa
Mpeni maua yake!!!
Anajua katiba kama chai ya asubuhi.
Then he is wise. He has the capacity to correctly make choice of words.
Kudos Eric !!
okiyah omtatah is right. technology never fails. it is humans that fail. part of system design is designing for redundancy. this is why kplc is experiencing blackouts - they suck at designing for redundancy. every well designed system should have a back up that kicks in whenever an unexpected error occurs. please note: unexpected error. it is feasible to design systems that reduce the risk of failure to near zero. this is extremely important to understand.
This man has clarity of thought. Zakayos legal advisors should sit and take notes. They draft bills but never use the constitution as the architecture for their schemes. They'd rather change the constitution than use their minds.
I hope we all can see the direction Kenya should go. Attorney General........or President.....Kenyans have eyes but how many Kenyans can see?
We need more Omtatas in Kenya because who won’t feel proud if the measures of Chapters 7 and 12 of our Constitution were to be implemented as well as fulfilled?
Omtata is brilliant! He has an in depth understanding of the law and the constitution
Kenyans shud protect the kind of Omtata bure mtakuliwa Kama mandas usubui na chai.🤜🏾🤛🏾💪🏾
We are proud of you Omtata. We've followed you over the years and you've remained consistent and true.
This man Omtata, the best president Kenya will never have.
He's a very smart man well versed in the constitution... unlike the ignorant egotistical leaders in the kitchen cabinet ruining our country.
In Kenya we design everything and every system to fail
this guy is a walking encyclopedia! thanks a lot eric and your team for bringing the senator to enlighten us! they say “ my people die because of lack of knowledge “ and “ knowledge is power “! the citizenry should ensure that without digitalization 2027 elections cannot be held and if held the supreme court should rise to the occasion and declare them null and void! one time i had an american professor of finance teaching us and openly he admitted that sometimes a student might ask a question which he doesn’t have an answer! just like the senator i felt the judgement the supreme court made in 2020 elections was ‘ uninformed and unintelligent and unqualified’! the judges should not be shy to be constantly revising their notes and sometimes seek for technical opinions from the right sources before making decisions! we cannot have monopoly of knowledge even if we are at the supreme courts! at the same time time, is it so difficult for IEBC and the supreme judges to have a sabbatical in this India and brazil if we really want to to solve this election mess? or we are comfortable giving pain killers and bandaging a wound instead of treating once and for all! america and britain and EU please help us!
My Senator, Proud of you Papa. I will vote for you again and again.
GOD is with this guy if you’re beaten up and left for dead for the cause of Kenyans then he is anointed.
You are joking with a human life and childish remarks.
@@rosemaryokoth8382 you do what he does then you will know what is childish.
Okiya omtatah is very smart and brilliant. That's why he is giving the executive sleepless nights.
Omtata starting with his interpretation of the proverb demonstrates his super intelligence. Kenyans should be immensely grateful to have him in government. 🎉. The constitution sets the floor not the ceiling for voting methods. Eric your question reallly demonstrated a very low threshold for what Id call common sense.of course we need and have the capacity for a digital voting system . The problem however like digitization of the land registry like Ndu says is potential for manipulation and in my assessment is the good will of the government.
Mheshimiwa you are my champion, go on we rely on you after Baba
Brilliant mind! He should have an honorary dr of laws degree!
Put your jokes aside
A very brilliant senator,some of these things I never new..we are behind you senator omtatah👏👏
This talk has clearly assisted in clearly showing the government is a combination of 3 arms, and two parts have been considered for too long , thus having the judiciary working for us humble wananchi has shown also if the remaining arms (Executive and Legislature) worked for us under the constitution we would feel the progress we so much are due.
Omutata is a genius n a constitution by himself
Technology never fails
Why can't the voters register be digital, then all registered voters vote via an SMS only, if mpesa works, even working can work
This guy is smart
I totally support his idea
True defender of law.
Okiya Omtata could be the only upright politician in the current parliament. He means well for the country and is not selfish and mean like Kimani Ichungwa and Ndindi Nyoro.
Study of law is overrated. The way Omtata rubbishes our supreme court judges, people who studied law, tells a lot about those judges
Simplistic
Now i understand why the server will never be opened.
I wish Ruto can try to be avoiding arbitrary public pronouncements that ends up haunting him, then he tries to retract the same when backslashes happen. Threats, intimidation and bulldozing doesn't work in a democratic sovereign country. If he leaves the three arms of state operate freely, he will finally be the winner. He should avoid issuing ultimatums to the Judiciary that seem to tell Koome that "I promised to support you, but you too MUST always rule my way, if not I will tame you through allocations". Some people may look at it from that angle, unfortunately. Let parliament, Judiciary and Executive work in sync but independently without coercion.
ruto dude of nareeee !!! man of empty actions, ruto ni wale wasee uchora msitari saa ya vita lakini ukiangalia kando kidogo anarudi nyuma kumbe anagojea back up and incase they're good at running if anything goes above expectations that is man ruto
Okiya omtata. He is the champion of patriots.
This man Okoiti Okiyah Omtatah m'y man... wish we had just 5 of them
We have them. Sifuna, Magara, Matiangi, Munya, Karua, Lee Kinyanjui etc etc.
This sytem will also help us in passing of some of this laws a bill is put out there and kenyans vote for it in a day whether they agree or not. Power to the pple . If we go fully digital there ere many potential tht we be unlocked. Like a vote of no confidence 2 years in government.
Okiya is a smart fellow
This is a brilliant mind.
Okiya Omtatah in shujaa, nampenda, ningekuwa na uwezo ningemtungia wimbo na shairi.
Omtata’s petition was the most solid in the presidential election of 2022.
Omtata🎉❤ 100%awesome!
The amount of skill of the IBC commissioners in IT can fit the back of what?😂😂😂😂😂😂. Boy oh boy!!!
You got that 🎉🎉😂😂 legend
Sad
Good discussions, Senator
As a Software Engineer I like this idea by Senator Okiya Omtatah...this is the way to go and saves Kenyans time and its efficiency
😂
Okiya for president 🙌 👏🏾
Bring Omtata..Miguna,Wanjigi,Orengo;proffessor Mcfie and have a honest conversation on the way forward 2027
Am not sure if Orengo is in that group any longer ...
Orengo noooooo......
He has tasted the cash cow.....he will gravitate towards maintaining status quo(no personal ill feelings towards him)
Most brilliant and beautiful mind in Kenya, Bar none!! CT is quiet, meaning He’s engaged mentally by the statements by Omtahtah! 😅😅😅
Institution's like ICPAK vote digitally on an annual basis to elect their officials. Results can be tracked online till completion. You could be right senator. Thanks for the dialogue.
If we had a political culture where the power brokers were truly willing to let the popular will decide who gets to hold these offices, we would probably already have a digital elections system.
The devil is in the details. Better to just have paper ballots, counted at the polling station to minimize chances of manipulation of tallies.
Digital elections sounds fancy but is the nightmare you never want to face.
Hapa I agree with Omtata 10 Trillion % we need the elections to be fully digitized . In that no need to cue 10hrs waiting to vote and help with elections malpractices . kama wengine wamefanya its possible. -Shida our leaders hawawezi taka we ease things and save.
May God protect Omtata to the next elections and allow his great constitutional fights to gain breakthrough..I had sworn not to patispate in another Kenya elections, but Omtata is giving me hope and confidence to change my attitude.
His intelligence & efforts should be lauded! 😎
Nothing burger.
and protected because most times these ppl endure alot and pay a dear price,like omtata said „somebody rearranged my dental formula“ it’s not easy going against the establishment.
@@mwendapoleee most likely it's the wife who bashed his teeth off for spewing nonsense all the time.
Kenyans needs omtata as the president, Jimmy wanjiki as his deputy's kenya shall go high
Technology is as good as the people
Hon Omtata is a go getter and fearless man , whom is the people's representative and constitutional expert
this not a interview but a lecture on voting skills
Our Hero..Okiya Omtatah
Omutata my senator confusing everyone 😂😂 lots of love
Educating everyone. He talks very clearly. No hidden compartments.
Okiya Omtata should be paid for educating and interpreting the constitution for the Judiciary
Okiya is a very well informed Kenyan, he means well for the country, 2024 is the year of "taking small bites and chew them finely to liberate our country" Chapter 7 and 12 is where the solution sleeps.
Freedom Fighter
May God keep and protect okiya
Asante sana omtata, endelea mbele tuondoe wizi kwa uchaguzi.
short, precise, and simple..
Omutata is the only person who seems to have read and understands the constitution.
Article 1. This should be all Kenyans. It's both you're right and responsibility to understand the document.
totally support
God bless you Omtatah
this man is divine
This guy is smart
the issue is if you cannot fortify digital signatures for intergrity purposes..it can be a very heavily manipulated elections..and the judges will not know it since they are digitally illiterate...for example if you wipe all meta data that should be reason enough to repeat the elections..they cant tell why those digital signatures are important!..digital elections means each party should have alternative image takers and 46000+ images to compare with IEBC..
The same technology that powers bitcoin, block-chain technology could solve all those issues. It would be open source too, to further prevent fraud.
@@upstar21t the problem is not the techology..imagine explaining technology breach to our 7 bench Judges..last time I saw they did not understand that any digital image has a signature....so if u can modify a database entry..which is easy to do if you have admin rights...the intepretation of operational logs becomes integral in knowing whether there was manipulation or not..that is at core database level...if you cannot do this at the core..the only option is to have alternate images in all 46k + polling stations to enable you challenge results effectively..who can afford such a tally..its like having own parallel IEBC..makes presidential running expensive ...
that Kenyan proverb simply means ecosystem balance
Smart
Excellent proposals
The best technology to achieve this will be a blockchain-based voting system. A blockchain-based voting system is like a digital, tamper-proof ballot box. Each vote is recorded as a block of information, and once added to the chain, it cannot be altered. This decentralized and secure method ensures transparency and trust in election results.
Omtata ur indeed knowledgeable. Keep up. Omtata shd teach the so called lawyers n their lecturers.
Great Omtata
A very strong presentation. Thank you Busia for giving us this man. Kwetu tuko na Methu. .. a pumpkin head who thinks tribe is everything
This man Okiya Omutatah
I like him this man..Senator ❤❤
nice
Okiya Omtatah for president 👌👌
Sad to be talking about elections at this tough times our people are going through, it speaks so much about our focus as leaders is all about getting that office. Okiya keep fighting and never fold for impunity to rule🫡
Elections are the basis of our rogue governance and must be urgently fixed
We are going thru the tough times cuz of election
You're thick in head. We've to talk about elections coz there's a big problem which needs solutions.
Where our problems begin n end until we change.
We have no parliament....Okiya Omtata.
Can we make this man president God why a we perishing with this crooks wen we have like omtata
I concur with umtata, digital election the better option, after voting from polling station it goes direct, digitally to national tallying center, and then results appear directly on the sreen
Omutata for president
