Opposition leader Raila Odinga has said that the Jubilee administration is now dragging KDF soldiers into politics by deploying soldiers in NASA strongholds to help in rigging.

Raila said that as at now, Jubilee has already deployed over 100 soldiers in Kakamega.

Raila appealed to the army to honour their code and remain neutral.

"KDF soldiers are being trained for recruitment as polling and presiding officers to help rig the election," he told a media conference in Nairobi.

"Several officers are being hosted in Kakamega at the former provincial HQ. They are being prepared to become ROs."

"We are challenging the national government and leaders of security forces to explain why military officers are training civilians," he said.

He added: "A training of KDF officers on crowd control is going on at Embakasi military barracks."
