Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has warned Jubilee that the opposition will not accept anything less than an electronic transmission of 2017 election results claiming reverting to manual tallying was a recipe by the government to rig the polls.
"Jubilee has been bragging about being a digital government and that was one of their campaign agenda. Its even in their manifesto, so rejecting the electronic voting system is a telling move," Junet told Citizen TV's Sunday Edition.
"In the previous elections, all the gadgets failed to function and it was by design. It was purposely done to facilitate certain actions. They want us to allow them to do the same thing in 2017, we are not fools," he added.
The MP insisted that the negotiated electoral reforms laws would not be changed and any attempt will be met by a strong opposition from the opposition.
Junet claimed Jubilee had sensed defeat and was plotting on a way to rig the 2017 elections by using the manual tallying system.
"Jubilee cannot have their cake and eat it. We either agree as a country that we are going to have a manual election or electronic election," he said.
"We sat as a committee with members from each side of the political divide and agreed that we are going to have an integrated electronic voting system, why the change of tune from Jubilee," he added.
In reaction to the allegations by a section of Jubilee legislators led by National Majority Leader Aden Duale that ODM leader Raila Odinga was working to rig elections in 2017, Junet defended his boss saying it is the government that has the power and machinery to rig elections.
"You can now hear they are saying that Raila is planning to rig the elections, you can see that they are already fearing of losing the elections. It is the government that has the machinery to rig the elections but you cannot tell me in Africa that an opposition is planning to rig an election," he said.
