Already the rigging plot is in place. We know that votes have already been printed and have been distributed. We are not fools,” Odinga is quoted by Daily Nation.“We have evidence to show Kenyans that what is going to take place on Thursday in the name of an election is a total sham. The outcome is already decided,” he added.The ODM party leader who has insisted he will not participate in the October 26 poll, however said he is ready to participate in a free and fair election.“We want to let Jubilee know that we are prepared to participate in a free and fair election but we are not prepared for an election which has already been rigged,” Raila noted.
