Wiper Deputy Party Leader Farah Maalim has now claimed it is the responsibility of the sitting government to ensure a free and fair election.
The former National Assembly Deputy Speaker said that the government and opposition should work hand in hand to ensure peaceful elections in 2017 saying that moving to court to solve election disputes will no work calling for sealing of all possible loopholes.
"In my opinion the government of the day is charged with the responsibility to make sure that the electoral process is given the kind of important push it needs to make sure there is fairness in the 2017 elections," he told NTV's AMLive show on Monday.
"We must make sure we have a free and credible elections, we can not move to the court this time because we have been cheated with the courts before," he added.
Maalim has now called for a clear law on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) stalemate in electoral process.
He insisted on the claim that the incumbent Jubilee administration was using the disbanded IEBC commissioners to influence the upcoming polls in 2017.
"The law on IEBC has become so tangled up and no one is taking interest in that. The old commissioners who should be out of office are still in office conducting serious business of the commission," he said.
"The move for the commissioners to continue to stay in office gives me all the reason to believe that they setting a stage to rig 2017 polls," he added.
