A man has sued the government for failing to stop NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga from contesting in the August 8 polls.

Charles Mwangi now demands that President Uhuru Kenyatta be ordered to form a commission to investigate Attorney General Githu Muigai, EACC chairman Eliud Wabukala, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and the Inspector General Joseph Boinnet.

"Prof Muigai, Mr Wabukala, Mr Chebukati and Mr Boinnet are solely responsible for Mr Odinga's candidature and should be suspended from office. They failed to investigate Mr Odinga to ascertain if he has the integrity to be president," he said.

Mwangi also demands the court to order IEBC to cancel the clearance certificate it issued to Raila until he is proven to have the integrity to hold the president's office.

According to the petitioner, Raila still  has blemishes of the 2007-2008 post-election violence after he allegedly called his supporters to mass action instead challenging the election outcome in court.

He also accuses Boinnet and Muigai of failing to establish a special unit to probe and prosecute the NASA leader over his role in the chaos that rocked the country after the disputed presidential results in 2007.
