Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi has accused the Jubilee administration of working tirelessly with the outgoing IEBC officials to have the 2017 general elections rigged.
He said that the Isaak Hassan-led commission should immediately pave way for the new office because “they are only there to help provide rigging mechanisms to Jubilee and that the new commissioners who will be appointed will have a problem when they come in”.
“There are signs that the Jubilee administration, in collaboration with the sacked IEBC officials, are working overdrive to pre-empt the will of the people next year through a number of underhand ways,” said Mudavadi as quoted by the Nation.
“As these delays have persisted, the sacked and discredited commissioners remain in office, using their extended stay to tilt the electoral infrastructure in favour of Jubilee through acts of omission and commission,” he added.
He also pointed a finger of suspicion at Parliament, saying the legislators convened a special sitting aimed at amending the electoral laws and create multiple ways of cheating.
“In a move that clearly shows that Jubilee intends to use its incumbency and numbers, Parliament has been recalled to adopt a motley of laws on elections with the ultimate aim of throwing out the negotiated agreement and revert to the old order that allows dead people and underage people to vote, ballot stuffing and manual voting because these favour Jubilee,” he said.
