National Super Alliance (NASA) won the presidential election petition because they had set 'traps' at the Supreme Court, Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri has revealed.
Speaking over the weekend in Samburu County, Kiunjuri said the Opposition sabotaged the poll by colluding with some electoral agency officials not to sign Forms 34A and 34B so that the integrity of the election process can be put in question.
"The evidence of spoiled Forms 34B was from Nyakach, Kilifi and Mombasa counties, which are Raila's strongholds. This informs that NASA went to bed with some IEBC officials to have the election annulled," Kiunjuri said.
The CS's remarks are contrary to Jubilee Party's position that has maintained the alleged forms were not forged, as Justice Njoki Ndung'u pointed out in her dissent.
The party has associated itself with a complaint seeking the trial of staff who allegedly misled the Supreme Court by declaring election forms before the court as forged.
"We associate ourselves fully with the petition which has been filed by lawyer Kioko Kilukumi because it now emerges that the so-called unserialised, unsigned, unstamped papers were actually the right forms," Tuju said, as quoted by The. Nation.
Kiunjuri further said President Kenyatta's legitimacy is not in question despite the Supreme Court ruling.
"The law is clear that Uhuru remains the Head of State until another person is elected president and sworn-in," he added.
