PNU ENLISTS POLL FRAUDSTERS

Concerned about Kibaki's poor show in poll ratings in the last few months, PNU has turned to local research organizations to spruce up Kibaki's image.

The plot aims to portray Kibaki as overtaking Raila in the weekly and the fortnightly polls being conducted by firms commissioned by the Nation Media Group on one hand and Steadman Group on the other.

The Consumer Insight, one of the firms commissioned by the Nation Media Group, is hell bent to show a steady decline in Raila's ratings while bringing Kibaki's rating up steadily as the election date draws nearer. The Steadman Group, on the other hand is careful not to execute this plot in an open manner for fear that this might erode the trust people have in it and thus put its credibility to doubt.

Ultimately, when Kibaki's rigging strategies bear fruit after the voting day, the public will have been carefully prepared to accept that Raila's poll rating has been declining in recent days after all. But for the majority of Kenyans, it beats logic why the latest poll results released by the Consumer Insight recently should be immensely different from those released by Infotrack and Strategic – polls which incidentally were conducted in the same period.
