What went wrong with ODM shambolic elections?

This is an issue that even  to date has never been answered after the out going secretary general Anyany' Nyongo called of indefinetly ODM party election following chaos that erupted in Kasarani Gymnasium.

The men with 'black' stormed and smashed ballot boxes and tore papers. This people according to party leader Raila Ondinga retaliated that he never knew them and he condemned the regretted scenes while likes of Namwamba and Zani blamed the other.

Raila assured that the issue will be investigated to determine the cause but it seems he just gave empty promises to the members of the party as up to now nothing have been released since then. He always says he believe in democracy but what went wrong with the party elections, after the elections in march he came with a slogan 'democracy is on trial', now what now went wrong on his own party?

Some of the members claimed the election didn't go in free and fair way and that is why the election led to the violence.

Wage bill is not the issue transparency is the key

                         
President kenyatta decision to command civil servants to take the pay cut to reduce Kenya baloonns public sector wage bill is great idea but accountability and transparency is the key.

It didn't argue well when the president realized this statement after some few days as it was alleged the trip that they went they used more than one hundred million. I tried to argue his words of saving Kenyan money for more development in the country, to me it sounded very ironical we save and the same time himself and his cabinet used millions in only four days.

The president must understand to take pay cut is not the solution,he must look all holes where public money sinks within the government, starting with un necessary trips by governments officials, huge allowances, instilling discipline in public sector by fighting corruption and ensuring government gives tender in a fair and transparency manner.
